Former Kaduna State Governor Nasir El-Rufai says his life began to have meaning when he married his wife, Hadiza, about 40 years ago.
El-Rufai also described Hadiza as a disciplined organiser of his home, just as he called his wife “my best friend, university classmate, teenage sweetheart and dearest wife.”
The former governor said this in a congratulatory message on his wife’s birthday on Sunday, June 22, 2025.
El-Rufai stated: “Hadiza is a bundle of brains, beauty and brawn, holder of three masters’ degrees – in architecture, business administration, and creative writing – fluent in French and a published novelist. I am immensely proud to call her my wife, my partner and enduring pillar of support.

“My life began to have meaning when we married nearly 40 years ago. She is a taskmaster and disciplined organizer of our home and our lives.
“Please join our family in not only thanking her for these and more, but being the proud mother of Hon Bello El-Rufai, his many siblings and the best grand-mom to our three cute grandchildren.”
“Happy birthday, Hadiza and God Bless you forever more.”
