‘But as a father I also had to know more about him, his education, his faith in God, humility. And I found out much more that he is a good person.
‘Sadio and I talk a lot about the projects, but we also talk about life in general and he has taught me a lot, even though he is still young. He knows a lot about life and I have learned a lot from him. That is why I did not hesitate to accept his request to marry Aisha.’

“I’m not used to having so much attention drawn to me, because we’re a very private family. We don’t like to show off and talk about our private lives. I’m a very down-to-earth person, that’s how I was raised, and there won’t be anything different just because of this marriage.”
