"Thank you for being by my side, loving me unconditionally, and being the source of so much joy and happiness in my life."


Embakasi East MP Paul Ongili alias Babu Owino has shared a moving tribute to his wife Fridah Ongili describing her as a pillar and his number one cheerleader. 

The MP, while sharing a video of him talking about his love life, poured out his immense love to her, vowing to continue loving her until death separates them.

"I’m incredibly blessed to have you in my life Ongili Fridah You truly are my angel, sent by God himself. Every day, I am reminded of how fortunate I am to have such a loving and supportive wife like you," he said.

"Thank you for being by my side, loving me unconditionally, and being the source of so much joy and happiness in my life."

MP Babu Owino and his wife Fridah Muthoni Ongili.

Babu met Muthoni at the University of Nairobi where they were both students.

He met her in her first year of study pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in economics.

"She has been my wife up to date, for 13 years, and still running, until death do us part. This lady has been good to me. I can tell you she is a good woman, my pillar and strength." 

Babu says it is her wife's prayerful nature that keeps him going even when he is in the eye of a storm.

He said despite her being from the Mt Kenya region, issues concerning tribalism have no logic to heart matters.

"People say you need to marry a person from your own tribe which is not bad. But this is the person that I found. This is the person that God wanted me to marry. God had planned her in my life. I have no problem if I could have married a Luo but this is the person God planned for me," he said.
