"This is an interesting one. How did I meet the First Lady? Well, when I met her, she wasn’t the First Lady; she was just another wonderful, beautiful girl. Let me say that I first met her brother. Her brother and I were in secondary school together and we became friends. And through him, I managed to meet his younger sister. And we started off a relationship that has lasted from high school until now. So, for all of you, who you meet today as a friend and as a partner, could be your First Lady tomorrow. So, I still see her as the girl I met in high school, not the First Lady ."
