He praised his wife for her humility, doggedness and steadfastness in building a happy home.

He advised fathers to always support their wives to entrench a morally sound society, devoid of moral decadence and criminality.
This he noted will also enable economic growth in the country.which women are the enablers for an egalitarian society.
