A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Alwan Hassan, has described former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, as a man controlled by his wife.
He argued that Nigeria cannot be handed over to a man being fed by his wife.
Naijaonpoint reports that Amaechi, during an interview, had described his wife, Judith Amaechi, as the “backbone” of their family.
He said said that his wife’s entrepreneurial spirit long predates his time in public office
The two-term governor of Rivers State was asked to clarify the source of his wealth.
In response, he credited his wife’s industriousness as central to their household’s financial strength.
Reacting during an interview on Channels Television, Hassan pointed out that Amaechi had given himself away by saying that he was not in control of his family but was fed by his wife, insisting that a man who depends on his wife to run his family is not worthy of Nigeria’s number one seat.
Hassan said Nigerians will vote a complete man into office and not men ‘being taken care of by their wives.’
The APC chieftain said, “Is it those ones that are saying their wives are taking care of them? We cannot hand over this country to such people, to men that are being fed by their wives.
“You know that somebody was here and said his wife is an entrepreneur and she’s…we want a man that is a man of his house. We want a man that is in charge of his house. We don’t want a man that a woman is feeding.
“We will not, no, no, we will not hand over a country to a man that is being fed by his wife. A man who is being fed by his wife. That’s what I’m saying.”
