Aduda, while speaking at the 10th – year memorial thanksgiving service of the late Jimiko, which was held at Karu town hall on Saturday, said it has not been easy, even as he said he thanked God he grew up together with the late Jimiko and shared many things in common.
He said he knew the late Jimiko even before they got married, saying it has been easy, even as he said he thanked God for his mercies on both family and that of his late aide.
“So I want to say to God be the glory as no matter what the circumstances, we give glory to God Almighty. And as you can see that a street has been named after him,’ he said.
