Accra: Clement Yaw Yeboah Abrefa has addressed public perceptions about his personality and marriage, stating that he is far from a pushover despite assumptions made about him. Abrefa, in an interview with Deloris Frimpong Manso (Delay), responded to claims that his calm and reserved demeanor suggests that his wife, popular media personality Oheneni Adazoa, controls him.
According to Ghana Web, Abrefa firmly stated during the interview on The Delay Show, "I'm not a pushover. I can be extremely difficult. I'm human." The host, Delay, noted that some observers believe his quiet nature gives the impression that his wife dominates the relationship. In response, Abrefa dismissed the notion that being guided by one's spouse should be viewed negatively, clarifying, "It's not wrong if your wife controls you. But she doesn't control me."
He explained that their marriage is built on dialogue and mutual respect rather than dominance. Abrefa emphasized that they freely share ideas and are comfortable agreeing to disagree when necessary. "We share ideas; we agree to disagree on issues. She knows she cannot control me," he stated.
However, Abrefa added that even in situations where a wife exerts influence, it should not automatically be interpreted as weakness on the part of the husband. "And even if she controls me, there's nothing wrong with that. A man who doesn't listen to his wife finds trouble for himself," he said. His comments challenge traditional assumptions about male authority in marriage, emphasizing partnership, communication, and balance over rigid power dynamics.
The couple has been married since 2004, setting an example of a relationship grounded in mutual understanding and respect.
