Trojan Horse? Who Gave 2face And Annie Macaulay The Chevrolet Corvette?

The country barely has gotten a handle on the media storm that the 2face and Annie Macauley’s wedding has whipped up. The star-dust and good-feeling is yet to dissipate from our conscious minds into subconscious memory, but no, as they say, Celebrities and controversies are Siamese siblings. And so controversy has joined in the celebrations. In the form of a gift; the sleek beautiful Chevrolet Corvette that stood at the wedding venue begging to be adored.

Guests at the wedding saw the Corvette with a note which said “”

2Face is from Benue State, the same state as Senate President David Mark who is the Senator for the Benue South constituency.

The retails from $49,600 in the United States which is approximately N7,850,000.

Here is how the official website describes the car;

Corvette has carved a permanent place as an innovator in the global automotive landscape and is the top-selling high-performance sports car in its segment. From its standard 430-horsepower LS3 all-aluminum V8 engine, 190-mph performance and its 26-MPG-highway† fuel efficiency, Corvette defines state-of-the-art technology, engineering and design among luxury sports cars year after year. And with options for personalization, the 2013 Corvette stands to reflect unparalleled distinction.

But according to CKN Nigeria, Special Adviser – Media and Publicity to the President of the Senate, David Mark, Kola Ologbondiyan allegedly claims that the gift was not from Senator Mark. His statement reads,

Senator Mark did not visit Dubai for Tiface wedding rather he attended the 128th Inter parliamentary Union (IPU) conference currently holding in Quito, Ecuador. He was also not represented at Mr. Idibia’s wedding. It is also instructive to state that the President of the Senate, Senator Mark, did not make a car donation of any kind to Tuface before departing Nigeria for Ecuador neither did he purchase nor send any car to Dubai as a wedding gift for the musician or his wife. Who made the donation on behalf of the President of the Senate?

It is therefore a puerile lie for anybody to state that Senator Mark bought a Ferrari car worth N47m for Tuface. The allegation is wicked, ridiculous and irresponsible.

Who should be believed and trusted? The wedding photos spotting the car and the implicating note, or the Senate President’s PR.

Your guess is as good as mine.
