Alhaji Lai Gidado pours out soul-stirring tribute to wife, Alhaja Faoziat Gidado, on her special day
A veteran media consultant, author and publisher, Alhaji Lai Gidado, has described his wife, Alhaja Faoziat Gidado, as a rare, priceless and divine gift from Allah, whose love, sacrifice and extraordinary virtues have lifted her far beyond the ordinary definition of a wife.
In words soaked with emotion and gratitude, he extolled her as the embodiment of grace, kindness and unwavering devotion, a woman whose presence gives colour to his life and whose selflessness continues to inspire him beyond measure.
In a personally signed statement to mark her special day, Alhaji Gidado said she is not merely a life partner, but the very heartbeat of his joy, the anchor of his peace and a blessing he cherishes with profound gratitude every single day.
In the moving tribute, he described her as his “one and only”, the rhythm that steadies his heart and the unshakable pillar upon which their family stands.
He paid glowing tribute to her quiet strength, ageless beauty and nurturing spirit, qualities he said have shaped their journey together and sustained their home through every season of life.
“She is my confidant, my guiding star and the golden shoulder that carries the weight of our family with unmatched grace and dignity,” he wrote, praising her radiant charm and youthful vitality that continue to light up every space she occupies.
Alhaji Gidado further noted that even at over 60 and as a grandmother, Alhaja Faoziat remains a living portrait of elegance and vitality, gracefully defying time with her captivating presence, inner strength and dignified poise.
He said her remarkable ability to balance life’s many demands while nurturing her mind, body and spirit stands as a powerful testimony to her exceptional character and enduring discipline.
“My dear Abeke, you are not just a jewel in our family; you are a beacon of hope, love and inspiration to our community. Your special day is a sacred moment to reflect on a life richly blessed, beautifully lived and deeply impactful, and to pray for a future filled with even greater joy and fulfilment,” he said.
“May your days be long, your health radiant, your heart ever joyful and your happiness boundless,” he concluded, sealing the tribute with prayers that echo the depth of his love and admiration.
“Happiest birthday to you, my ‘Mirror of Beauty’. Congratulations to the woman who completes me,” the message concluded.
