“The turn-out of members of NNPP Ogun state to witness the Nikkah and the hospitality from the family of the bride and groom are the result of loyalty and trustworthiness of Alhaja Shakirat Arowolo to family and her political party.
“To the couple, the lesson is, you need to do whatever you want to do pragmatically to make your marriage work. Don’t benchmark yourself with anybody’s situation or condition. Don’t copy anybody to live your marital life. Many marriages crash due to this. I pray you too have a successful marriage and be friends with each other for life.
“If you’re looking for some advice on life, relating to any aspect, you have to focus and learn from those with good examples”.
Ajadi offered his heartfelt congratulations to Alhaja Kamilat and Ismail Babatunde, wishing them a lifetime filled with love, harmony, and enduring happiness.
