In the same vein, Hadiza reaffirmed her love for the monarch.

She said she decided to observe the anniversary without much celebration due to the coronavirus pandemic and the Ramaadan fast being observed by Muslims.

“Wow, it’s Been ‘ages’ together! ‘In the end, it is not the years in your life that count, it’s the life in your years.’ Those words of Abraham Lincoln, a former United States President ring true about us,” she wrote.

Wow, It's Been 'Ages' Together! "In the end, it is not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years." Those words of Abraham Lincoln, a former United States President ring true about us. Like yesterday, it's a year already and forever to go, Insha Allah. Although there won't be any speech making or merriment today as we observe the Holy Month of Ramadan, with crucial attention to the global challenge posed by the Covid-19 pandemic. But I’ll do at least one thing: reaffirm our vows. It’s for better or worse and till death do us part. Happy anniversary to us, King G and Queen G Signed Olori Hadiza Abike Yakasai Elegushi

Elegushi married Hadiza at a decorated ceremony in May 2019, after he earlier tied the knot with Aramide Sekinat, his first wife.
