Former Kogi East Senator, Emmanuel Dangana Ocheja, 74, has married an 18-year-old lady identified as Winifred in Abuja.
The couple reportedly celebrated their traditional wedding on September 13, 2026, before their white wedding ceremony held in Abuja on September 19.
Businessman Isaac Fayose announced the marriage in a social media post congratulating the newlyweds.
Fayose claimed that Winifred is the best friend of Senator Ocheja’s granddaughter.
Ocheja, a lawyer-turned-politician, represented Kogi East Senatorial District in the 7th National Assembly between 2011 and 2015.
He was elected on the platform of the All Progressives Congress and served as a member of the Senate during the 7th Assembly.
The marriage has attracted attention on social media largely because of the significant age difference between the former senator and his young bride.
