“As government, we thank God for Mr Speaker’s wedding, even as we pray for blessings for the family. As from today, am sure Bathiya will go home and eat a good meal, so that the setting in the house will not be a burden for him. Government wishes them peace and blessings in their new home,” Farauta said.
