Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko and his wife Primrose Mbuvi celebrated their 21st wedding anniversary on Thursday.
Taking to social media, he advised couples on ways they can also stay together for many years.
Sonko urged lovers to emulate the relationship of late Burundi President Pierre Nkurunziza and his wife Denise Bucumi Nkurunziza.
This is because, he said, Nkurunziza and his wife started from very humble beginnings and stayed together despite being financially challenged.
Eventually, they grew together to become successful and well-known throughout Burundi and the world.
“I would like to encourage all the young couples to emulate the late President of Burundi Pierre Nkurunziza and his 1st girlfriend Denise Nkurunziza, who until his death was his wife and the first lady of Burundi. The two had been living together in a single room as a couple for many years. They later grew together in love and became the First Family of Burundi,” Sonko said.
Additionally, Sonko condemned habits of men who usually get drunk and fail to deliver in the bedroom. He cautioned married men against using Viagra as it’s detrimental to relationships.

“Make your girlfriend/wife/partner happy during this cold season na wale wako na kitambi itisheni mukombero from western, don’t use viagra and your marriage /relationship will never be the same again. Mambo ya kulewa alafu kulala fofofo muwache,” Sonko said.
In addition, the politician urged women to be patient with their men as they hustle to make ends meet. He cautioned couples against letting small disagreements separate them.
The governor also told women to stick beside their men, even if they are sent to prison because wives of great politicians did so and everything turned out okay in the end.
“Do not leave him because he is broke or in prison. When Raila Odinga was in detention, Ida Odinga did not dump him. When I was in prison, my wife Primrose never left me. President Uhuru and William Ruto walivumiliana na bibi zao Margaret and Rachael for so many years, look at what they are today,” he insisted.
According to Sonko, life has ups and downs but if couples stick together, they “will look back at such photos, and say wow!”
