Justice Eberechi Suzzette Wike, a judge at the Court of Appeal and wife of FCT Minister Nyesom Wike, recently shared a glimpse into her personal life, highlighting the strength it takes to be married to a man like her husband.
Speaking at a golf event held at the Goodluck Jonathan Golf Course, located at the Nigeria Air Force Base in Abuja, Justice Wike joked about how many Nigerians might be surprised to see her on the green. “It’s not my first time,” she said, brushing off the surprise with a smile.
The event was part of a sports initiative organized by Court of Appeal President Monica Dongban-Mensem to honor victims of road crashes in Africa. Justice Wike attended to show support for Dongban-Mensem, whose advocacy for road safety stems from the tragic loss of her son in a 2011 accident.
Away from the courtroom, Justice Wike revealed that she enjoys relaxing by watching the news, which she says helps her stay informed and ready for legal matters. She also mentioned her love for cooking, swimming, and football adding that she once played the sport during her school days.
When asked about the dynamics of her marriage to the outspoken FCT Minister, she offered a candid response: “It takes a strong woman to do so. I don’t want to go further than this.”
Her remarks gave a rare personal insight into the life of a high-ranking judge who balances public service, personal passions, and a high-profile marriage with grace.
Seems like shes the real powerhouse behind the scenes! Team Wikes Wife all the way!
I think its unfair to judge her based on her husbands actions.
She chose to marry him. Shes complicit. She deserves scrutiny.
I dont get why shes getting so much attention. What about her own accomplishments?
I dont get why anyone cares about what a politicians wife does.
Because a politicians spouse often influences decisions and represents the country too.
I think its unfair to judge her based on her husbands actions.
I think Wikes wife should focus on her own career instead of just supporting him.
Mind your own business. Supporting a partner is a personal choice, not a sign of weakness.
