Reuben Abati, veteran journalist and former presidential aide, has warmed hearts online with a heartfelt message to his wife, Kikelomo, as she celebrated her 46th birthday.
In his emotional tribute, Abati described her as his “sunrise” and “precious jewel,” expressing deep gratitude for her unwavering love and support through the highs and lows of life.
He commended Kikelomo for her remarkable discipline, intelligence, and strong work ethic, noting that her quiet strength and grace continue to inspire him every day. According to Abati, her true charm lies not only in her beauty but in her determination and character.
The respected columnist further revealed that Kikelomo is one of the few people who challenge him intellectually, constantly pushing him to become a better version of himself.
Reflecting on his marriage, Abati shared wise words once given to him by his godfather, Prince Adelusi: “A happy man marries the girl he loves, but a happier man loves the woman he marries.” He said that this insight has profoundly shaped his understanding of love and companionship that true joy in marriage comes not from perfection, but from mutual growth and rediscovery.
Abati emphasized that when love and respect form the foundation of a marriage, happiness becomes an evolving journey.
He concluded his message by affirming that real happiness isn’t found in wealth or possessions, but in shared love and understanding. Describing Kikelomo as his “sun,” he promised to treasure her always, writing, “True happiness isn’t something you buy it shines from within. And for me, she remains my brightest light and greatest blessing.”
