He dedicated a moving poem that he shared on Facebook, the MP thanked his wife for choosing him over “rich able-bodied men”.
Sankok showered her better half with praise for leaving her rich father’s home to stay with him while he had nothing.
He wrote:
You left your father’s stone house,
You left two Datsun cars in your father’s compound,
You left your father’s Chevrolet car,
You left a Toyota lorry in your father’s compound,
You left three tractors in your father’s compound,
You followed a poor disabled boy to a homestead with an axe as the biggest machine.
Regarding the gift, the MP stated:
I present you this gift in remembrance of the sweet days of our sweet ice cream,
I know you will smile,
The same smile I saw when you took the ice cream from my hand,
I know I will see that special glow in your eyes as you receive the keys of your own car,
A special gift from a loving husband to an equally a loving wife and a caring mother.
The MP who is known for his trademark green suits said the car would enable the wife run errands and take their kids to school.
Kindly receive this present of a car from the bottom of my heart,
It will assist you run the errands,
It will assist you take our kids to school,
It will assist you in the farm,
It will greatly assist you in our family business,
