Reuben Abati, a former presidential adviser and renowned broadcaster, has lavished his wife Kikelomo Abati with praise, calling her his inspiration, delight, and source of true happiness.
Abati celebrated his wife’s 46th birthday by posting a poignant message on Instagram, expressing his love and affection for her, whom he affectionately referred to as his “jewel” and “sunrise.”
He wrote: “Happy birthday to my Jewel. You are one of the few women who challenge me intellectually and push me to be more, not because of your God-given charm but because of your drive, discipline, and strength of purpose. You’re never afraid to roll up your sleeves and do the work. Impressive!”
Reflecting on their marriage, Abati shared words of wisdom from his godfather, Prince Adelusi, saying:
“A happy man marries the girl he loves, but the happier man loves the woman he marries.”
He added that true happiness does not come from external things but from genuine love and mutual respect.
“True happiness doesn’t sit on the shelf; it comes from within. And truly, with you, I’ve found that genuine happiness,” Abati said.
“Thank you, Kiki, for all you do. I am blessed to have such a kind, industrious, and compassionate soul as my life partner.”
“My love for you will endure until my final breath. You’re not just my sunrise… you are my sun, Iyawo mi. Happy 46th birthday, my oyinbo.”
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
