Bonus: Governor of Rivers State Rotimi Amaechi
and Dame Judith Amaechi
Rotimi Amaechi has said that no blackmail can
separate him from his beloved wife , Dame Judith
Amaechi.
He said, "I thank God for his moment and also
thank you for gathering here. I also thank my
dear wife for his kindness and love towards me.
She had told me that, she was waiting for my last
son to come on vacation with her from overseas,
and she will soon come back to Nigeria. I thank
my wife because in all my endeavours, she is the
only one that brings me joy. This is so because, if
I have any problem and tell her, she prays with
me and even ask me to put my hand on my head,
and she will call upon God to intervene in that
matter. So, I thank her in absentia. I told you
how she used to impress me, because she is a
wonderful wife when it comes to loving her
husband and she cares about me. I have told my
children that, my wife comes first before them, I
love my wife. I thank her and also wish her God
blessings".
