The Attorney General and Minister of Justice praised his former middle school teacher who is now on retirement.

"A student must always appreciate the toil of their teachers. Teachers are the Trail Blazers who literally cut the path on which a student travels on the road of life. I recently paid a visit to my Middle School teacher, Madam Victoria Alex (a.k.a Madam Alex), at her residence. She has long retired from teaching but still loves to teach even when I visit," he wrote.
"She is proud to have produced a graduate of Stanford Law School and the MP for her constituency. She calls me her husband, and I am really lucky to have been taught by her. She was a great teacher and would pass by the house to inquire about me anytime I missed school. God bless her and all my teachers," he added.
