Today, I celebrate Mallam and Aunty @AsiaAhmad El-Rufai as they mark 27 years of marriage. Aunty Asia is the glue of our family. She is my mother and I am proud to call myself her son. I still remember her taking me back to Zaria Academy when I was in JSS1. She is an avid reader, a brilliant lawyer, and a woman whose compassion has always extended beyond her immediate family. During Mallamโs time as Governor of Kaduna State, she devoted herself to supporting and working with some of the most vulnerable people in our society, particularly widows and orphans. As her children, we are very proud of her and we pray for her everyday. She has always protected and guided me and went out of her way to campaign for my candidature. Every good thing we continue to do for Kaduna North is due to the teachings and knowledge she has imparted in me since I was 11 years old. Every bad thing is my fault.
Over the years, I have also witnessed her strength and unwavering support for Mallam through the different seasons of his life. And especially now, as he continues to endure his illegal detention, her steadfastness, strength and presence have been a source of comfort and support. Twenty-seven years is a significant milestone, and today is a moment to appreciate the journey, the memories and the many lives touched along the way.
Happy 27th wedding anniversary, Baba El-Rufai my mother, Aunty Asia. May Allah continue to bless your marriage, grant you both good health and peace, and give you many more years of grace, happiness and beautiful memories together. May Allah reward you for the love, kindness and service you have shown to others. I plead with the good people of Kaduna North to pray for both of them.
