Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu pays tribute to late husband on wedding anniversary

Nigeria’s minister of Foreign Affairs, Bianca Odumegwu-Ojukwu, has paid tribute to her late husband, former Biafra leader Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu, as she marked their wedding anniversary on Thursday.

The minister shared a photograph of herself and her late husband on Instagram, accompanied by an emotional message reflecting on their marriage and the memories they shared.

She wrote, “Happy Anniversary, my Dearest ❤️🕊️. 12 November 1994….34 years today…

“And my heart remembers the beautiful journey we shared, the love we built, the memories we created, and the promises we made.

“Though death has taken you away from my sight, it can never take away the precious years we spent together, the family we built together and the triumph of our love against all odds.

“Every anniversary is a beautiful reminder of how blessed I am to have had you in my life.

“I am grateful to God for the precious time we shared, and I will continue to cherish every memory until we meet again in eternity✨️”

The couple married on November 12, 1994, at Our Lady Queen of Nigeria Catholic Church in Abuja. They had three children together.

Their marriage lasted until November 26, 2011, when Chukwuemeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu died in London at the age of 78.

Odumegwu-Ojukwu led the secessionist Republic of Biafra during the Nigerian Civil War between 1967 and 1970. He was also the founding leader of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA).

Bianca, a former Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria, has served in various diplomatic and political positions. She was appointed Nigeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs in April 2026.
