High society figures, close friends, and family members converged at the picturesque Athenian Riviera in Greece on Saturday, June 20, 2026, to witness the glamorous white wedding between Donna Duke and Tobechukwu Rapu. The bride, Donna, is the youngest and last child of the former Governor of Cross River State, Mr. Donald Duke, and his wife, Onari. The groom, Tobechukwu, is the son of the renowned Lagos medical doctor, clergyman, and social reform advocate, Dr. Tony Rapu of the House of Freedom.
The romantic destination wedding in Greece followed a spectacular cross-cultural traditional marriage ceremony held earlier in the year. In January 2026, the two prominent families hosted an elegant Igbo-Efik cultural celebration at the former governor’s residence along Donald Duke Way in Diamond Hill, Calabar. That initial ceremony featured rich heritage rites, royal pageantry, and a carnival-like atmosphere attended by top dignitaries, including the Obong of Calabar. Transitioning from the vibrant cultural displays of Cross River to the scenic shores of Europe, the couple officially exchanged their vows in an intimate, elegant seaside ceremony, drawing widespread congratulations and celebrating a union that beautiful links two highly influential public service and faith legacies in Nigeria.
