In a strong display of leadership, mentorship, and community spirit, the immediate past Speaker of the Kogi State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Matthew Olusola Kolawole, played a prominent role in the engagement and wedding ceremony of Comrade Bamidele Haruna Alaho and Miss Idowu Thomas Gift.
The colorful ceremony, attended by dignitaries, political associates, and members of the community, underscored the deep bond between the former Speaker and his dedicated supporters. Comr. Bamidele Haruna Alaho, a long-time follower and ally of Rt. Hon. Kolawole, received not only the Speaker’s presence but also his heartfelt words of encouragement.
Speaking during the event, Rt. Hon. Kolawole urged the new couple to build their marriage on the pillars of mutual love, respect, patience, and submission to one another. He stressed that for any marriage to succeed, both husband and wife must be committed to understanding, teamwork, and shared responsibilities.
“This union should be seen as a partnership,” he said. “Husband and wife must learn to submit to each other with love and humility. That is how to build a lasting and peaceful home.”
His active involvement in the wedding ceremony once again highlights his dedication to the well-being and personal growth of those who align with his vision. It reflects a leadership style rooted in accessibility, relationship-building, and genuine care for people, even outside the sphere of politics.
Rt. Hon. Kolawole concluded by praying for the couple’s success and happiness in their new journey together, wishing them a home filled with peace, love, and divine blessings.
Events like these, where political leaders personally engage in the private milestones of their supporters, reinforce the value of mentorship and community-based leadership.
