Dame Judith Obiajulu Amaechi has
described her husband and Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, as a
blunt person.
The former Rivers state First
Lady said Amaechi is a man who doesn’t know how to be diplomatic.
In a chat with Vanguard, she also
spoke on her husband’s political battles over the years.
”I believe that if you are
someone who has the passion to do good, you will face a lot of challenges.
There are so many down moments but how you manage them and how you are able
to overcome them is left for God.
”My heart reaches out to all
the men who who have stood firm, all the women who have spoken out, who have
had sleepless nights, all those who made the authority of Rivers State
government the way it is, I say a big thank you to them for standing by my
husband, especially in the darkest days; God will reward them.”
On her husband’s personality,
Judith said: “I just see him as someone who isn’t what people expect. It is
difficult to be the kind of person he is. He is just blunt, he tells you the truth;
he is very straightforward and tells you exactly like it is. He doesn’t know
how to be diplomatic.
”There is no human being that
does not offend someone. I mean, husband and wife offend each other, children
offend each other, and friends offend each other. One thing I know for sure is
that he doesn’t take anything to heart.
”I can give you a clear example
of myself when we first got married. He used to get me very upset in the house
and I would brood over it, but by the time he came back home, he would have
totally forgotten about it.
”Based on this, it did not take
me long to adjust, as I realised that people could walk in, see me brooding
while he was his ever cheerful self and label me a bad person. He is a strong
patron of tough love, but after his message has been passed, he is quick to
mend fences.”
