Gov Dauda Lawal of Zamfara has admonished the United States Embassy’s Press and Media Specialist, Aishah Gambari and her husband, on successful marriage secrets, stressing that communication and tolerance were key.
The Governor gave the charge to the newly wedded couple during a reception held to celebrate them after their wedding, in Abuja, on Saturday.
Lawal, who was the chairman of the occasion, said that honestly and patience were also virtues which would complement communication and tolerance towards achieving success in marriage.
“When there’s proper communication and tolerance, they will never have any issues.
“Where they may have, it will be easy to resolve.
“I’ve been married for over 25 years, so I’m talking from experience.
“Marriage is something that you take very, very seriously,” the governor said.
He also counseled the couple against third parties meddling in the affairs of their matrimonial home.
According to him, in the course of their marriage, whatever issues they may have between them, they should solve it without anybody’s interference.
“There should be no third party interference.
“If they abide by these, believe me, they will have a very, very success married life,” Gov Lawal added.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the glamorous occasion was attended by the Charge D’Affaires of the U.S. Embassy, Abuja, David Greene, alongside the embassy’s staffers.
Other dignitaries included former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, where the bride previously worked, top politicians, traditional rulers, ambassadors, diplomats, among others.(NAN)
