According to him, ” I was not even allowed to finish, I just started by thanking her(wife) saying she was patient with me as she was a legal practitioner and I am a politician.”

“I wanted to explain the kind of the help she offered, there are many kinds of support that professionals in various fields, such as legal practitioners, doctors or engineers can offer in their respective works. Know that this assistance does not involve any illegal or unethical deeds.”

“I have never encroached on her profession or attempted to influence her judicial decisions. These are not even discussed in our home, in our personal relationship,” he said.
