Justice Eberechi Suzzette Nyesom-Wike, the wife of the Rivers State Governor on Sunday, reacted to the recent comment by President Muhammadu Buhari about his wife belonging to his “kitchen, living room and the other room”.
Justice Eberechi Suzzette Nyesom-Wike backed the President, by saying that she belongs to the kitchen, the living room and every room created by God while speaking at the 10th Biennial Diocesan Women’s Guild Conference Thanksgiving Service of the Anglican Diocese of the Niger Delta North in Saint Thomas Anglican Church, Diobu, Port Harcourt yesterday.
According to her, “All women have been through a lot as they strive to build the society.
“Our contributions to societal development cannot be underestimated.
“I belong to the kitchen, I belong to the living room and I belong to every room created by God. So also other women.
“We are created by God to do more. In my own case as a judicial officer, I also belong to the courtroom. Other women belong to different rooms, depending on their professional calling.”
“Women are very important to the development of any community. They form a larger percentage of the workforce that keeps the society,” she added.
