A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State and former National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New People’s Democratic Party (nPDP),Eze Chukwuemeka Eze has commended the former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi for achieving the dream of his life, following the latter’s Call to the Bar which now qualifies him as a Barrister and Solicitor.
, Describing the former governor as a machine in human form, Eze said that, “I observed that during his days as a student of Law, he started his day by 4am when he would always wake up to attend to files and this he did till 7am, by which time he would be in his office.
“He always arrived his office before any other staff of his Ministry and by 8am to 10am he presided over one meeting or the other and by 10.30am he was off to school and dismissed by 5pm and then back to his Ministry to attend to other issues.
“By 11pm he retires to his residence to attend to associates that gathered from many States.
“Amaechi had very little or no time for sleep as he went to bed by 12.30am and most times by 3am to commence activities for the next day.
“The fact remains that the few weeks I stayed, I was rushed to hospital and I told him that I was not sure if I would ever be back to his residence for any reason. I sincerely pity most of his aides because it baffles me how they survive the routine of this machine in human form..”
He congratulated Rotimi Amaechi for emerging successful at the November 2023 Bar (Part ll) finals of the Nigerian Law School and his scheduled Call to the Bar as Barrister and Solicitor of the Supreme Court of Nigeria, Monday 5th March, 2024 at the Body of Benchers (BoB) Complex, Abuja.
In a statement made available to the Pinnacle Times, Eze said that Amaechi’s can-do spirit was significant as a veritable factor in his life’s journey which propelled him “to embrace challenges with the daring of a stuntman, remains an inspiration to Nigerians of all ages.”
He said Amaechi’s success at the Bar finals birthed into reality the former minister’s age-long dream of becoming a member of the Bench and a testament that the former Rivers State governor would “not allow the word impossibility creep into his lexicon.”
The APC chief also noted that behind the harsh arena of practical politics where the former governor had been a major player since 1999, the one time Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly RVHA had been deeply engrossed in academics; and in addition to his Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in English Studies, he had acquired a Master of Arts in African Literature and LLB in Law.
Eze said: “Currently the former Minister is an LLM Student in Corporate and Company law at Kings College London.
With a heart of gratitude …Hearty Congratulations my beloved leader, best friend and associate.”
The APC chief prayed God to ceaselessly bless and guide Amaechi as he continued to break new grounds and record more feats.
