Did you know ?The former governor of River State was a God sent to Rotimi Amaechi

Rotimi Amaechi.
The former governor of River State and the present Minister of Transport Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi a profess
Catholic by faith and a graduate of English literature was brought up by Peter Odili his predecessor in office,he met Odili in the ancient town of Benin in Edo state,and he was  employed by the man Odili as his confidential assistant secretary,Odili were well endowed with vision to detect a good material,that's why in the abortive Third republic when he went for sabbatical leave from his duty post and went to joined politics in his home state(River),eventually as he became the state deputy governor under Rufus Ada-George,he gave amaechi is first political job as an SSA to the deputy governor among all his numerous assistant of him which he left behind in his clinic at Benin,sooner or later when the military sent them packing both of them headed back to Benin again to continue with their life,At  Benin town the Odili family including  his wife Justice Rosemary Odili organised a befitting wedding ceremony for Amaechi and his wife Judith,while both not finished with Amaechi yet when Odili became the State Governor in the year 1999 after a fierce  battle for the seat with the Late Sergeant Awuse of blessed memory,he still accommodated the young Amaechi by entrusting with him the plum job of the River State House of assembly speaker in Port Harcourt for good Eight years.
     Indeed with all have been illustrating. I don't think that Amaechi biological dad can do much as Odili did for him,sooner things fall apart between them and the centre were not able to hold longer,the young man and his benefactor  became a sworn enemy due to the then President Obasanjo order that  Amaechi should be dropped as the governorship candidates of the PDP Party in River state,while earlier Odili have used the instrument of office to enthroned him as the winner of the party primaries in the state,but Obasanjo look otherwise and he started intimidating Odili with his dreaded EFCC then to drop the Ikwere son from the race,the heat is too much for Odili to bear when the Ribadu led EFCC invaded his state and arrested his Finance commissioner and his state accountant General,then he later understand the handwriting on the wall,he had no option than to save his head before any other thing,so to save his head he needed  to drop Amaechi according to the wishes of the Ask Rock.
To pacify Amaechi also he went to his ikwere community to pick his cousin Celestial Omehia as his replacement  for the party ticket which Amaechi was very furious about it and he  totally  disagree with the arrangement and he protested but nothing can he do to change the status quo,till today he have never reconcile with Dr.Odili.
What pained me most was his profess holiness every time he had the opportunity to mount the podium,he basically told the whole world that all the Seven and half years he served the rivers state peoples that he didn't have a single building of his own even including in the  choice area of the port Harcourt GRA,I was very excited and I started to rate him in the category of the austere emeritus governor of Anambra State Peter Obi,but I didn't know that I was been deceived.
Now the bone of contention is that how much will Ameachi need to spend in his entire lifetime again that he purposely went and stashed rivers peoples money(15 billion)with his mistress Mo Abudu at their Osborne house in Ikoyi according to Mr Project Nyesom Wike of River state, Infact I was disappointed in you by associating your self with a lot of the country great mind like Wole Soyinka and Yemi Ogunbiyi by constantly inviting them to your capital city to help you organised your literary debate programmes for your state education sector.
Listen Amaechi I couldn't count you among the men of integrity and morality you are trying to associate yourself with by the way why can't you thank God for his numerous grace upon your life.
Among all your contemporary State Speaker in the Years 99,I have the believe that you are the most favour among them,look through your conscience and tried to study the political life and growth of some of your friend in the Speakership league like Kehinde Ayoola,Asimiyu Alarape,Mojeed Alabi and Senator Mamowora.finally I am imploring you to retraced your step and reconcile with your benefactor Odili and his Wife and your political co- driver Magnus Abe.
