It was like a romance movie on set at the 33rd birthday anniversary celebration of the Chief Executive Officer of Yanga Empire Cleaning Services, Mrs. Elizabeth Tonghan-Ekpemupolo, put together by her darling husband, the Leader of the Legislative Arm in Warri South-West Local Government Council and Leader of all Leaders, Rt. Hon. Ekpemupolo Idukedoumene Samuel, popularly known as Sampolo, on Friday, February 28, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Both couple could not hide their affection for each other as they did not only perform a rendition of the love song they used to sing together during the days of their dating escapades, but they also in their brief speeches showed their admiration and confessed their ever growing love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For Mrs. Sampolo, her husband is too perfect to be true; an understanding man and very supportive husband who has helped fueled her inspiration and raised her ambitions of what she is now and yet to become. Above all, while she thanked God for smiling down on her, she also appreciated and prayer for her husband, closing her remarks with “I love you, you’ve raised a young girl to a woman. \u00c8we, e mienka mo! You too dey love me oo!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For Sampolo, his “Obey Special” and “My Super Woman” as he fondly called his darling wife, is a partner of progress, a replica example of what women bring to the table in a relationship; very industrious, supportive, a good wife, a good woman, a good sister-in-law, a good daughter-in-law, and golden friend to many, and most importantly her role in unifying the family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As guests offered messages of well-wishes and prayers on the celebrant, the almost perfect couple successfully captured in the minds of guests an admiration which fuels from the fact that Sampolo is indeed a husband every woman is worth having and that Elizabeth is indeed that dream woman for every man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Beyond the celebration was a growing bond of love as demonstrated by the couple and what relationship every should be like\u2014a union that engenders unity, understanding, support and trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
