The Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) has extended its congratulations to renowned Ghanaian singer Efya Awindor on her recent marriage to Nigerian musician Tomi Thomas. The union's president, Bessa Simons, signed a statement expressing delight in celebrating this significant milestone with Efya. The wedding festivities took place over three days in Accra, culminating in a grand celebration that brought together numerous celebrities from the music, film, fashion, media, and politics sectors.

Efya's wedding to Tomi Thomas was a highly anticipated event, with the couple's union being celebrated by fans and colleagues alike. MUSIGA acknowledged Efya's remarkable impact as the face of the maiden edition of the SheRhythms Festival, which took place less than a year ago. The union expressed its admiration for Efya's artistry, influence, and dedication to Ghanaian music, which have made her an inspiration to many.

The traditional marriage ceremony, held on November 6, was a vibrant display of kente, gold, and Ghanaian-Nigerian cultural traditions. Efya wore a stunning Kente ensemble, while Tomi arrived with his groomsmen in elegant Ghanaian Kente cloth complemented by gold accessories. The white wedding, which took place on November 7 at the Underbridge Annex in Accra, saw Efya walk down the aisle accompanied by her parents, including her father, Professor Awindor.

The wedding celebrations concluded on Sunday, November 8, at Cedar Church (Assemblies of God) with the dedication of their baby daughter, Zoe-Blair Adara Nana Efya Ankyaa Oluwateniayo Thomas, officiated by Rev. Stephen Wengam. MUSIGA wished Efya and her husband every joy, peace, understanding, and divine blessing as they build their life together. The union also expressed its confidence that Efya's new season will bring even greater fulfilment, strength, and artistic excellence.

MUSIGA's statement described the wedding as a beautiful celebration of love, culture, family, and unity. The union wished Efya continued success as she embarks on an exciting new phase of her career as a married woman and a mother. Efya's management had earlier clarified that the knocking ceremony, which took place on February 14, 2026, was only the customary knocking process, and not a secret wedding.

The wedding festivities were held under the hashtag #TJLuv26 and drew dozens of stars from various sectors. Efya wore an elegant white lace gown with a fitted bodice, high neckline, and detachable train, while Tomi complemented her in a white tuxedo jacket paired with black trousers. The event was one of the biggest celebrity gatherings of the year.

The marriage of Efya and Tomi Thomas has been celebrated by fans and well-wishers across social media platforms. As Efya begins her new life as a married woman and a mother, MUSIGA's congratulations serve as a testament to her enduring impact on Ghanaian music and her status as a role model for many young artists.
