The member representing Yagba Federal Constituency in Kogi State and Chairman of the House Committee on Customs and Excise, Leke Abejide, has urged Nigerians not to allow the country’s current economic challenges to tear apart their homes and relationships.
He gave this advice on Sunday in Abuja during a special thanksgiving service held at Christ Wisdom Gospel Church in Kubwa.
Abejide stressed that lasting marriages are built on strong values such as love, mutual respect, understanding, and faith in God. According to him, couples must remain committed to these principles regardless of financial pressure.
“You sustain marriage with love as it is written in the book of Ephesians Chapter 5 husbands should love their wives and wives should submit to their husbands. This principle has been working for us,” he said.
He warned that while many Nigerians are facing economic hardship, couples should not allow such temporary difficulties to destroy their unions.
“My message to Nigerians is: don’t allow hunger and hardship to take away your marriage. Let God be your foundation. When you have God, things will fall into place.
“You see people building houses, they say there is no money. You see estates springing up, people buying vehicles and travelling abroad. So we must not allow temporary hardship to destroy our homes,” he added.
His wife attributed the success of their 20-year marriage to love, patience, and mutual understanding. She emphasized the importance of knowing one’s partner and making sacrifices to sustain a healthy relationship.
“The secret is love and understanding. Couples must understand each other, know what their partner likes and dislikes. With that, the marriage will last.
“With God in the marriage, through prayer and even fasting, it will stand,” she said.
She also noted that balancing her responsibilities as a politician’s wife with her religious commitments has been manageable, describing the experience as smooth.
“It is easy for me because I love people and I am always happy to be around them, so it has not been difficult to cope,” she added.
