Former Rivers State governor, RotimiAmaechi, is 60 years old today. But more importantly, his life typifies the beauty of the Nigerian dream and spirit, writes Olawale Olaleye
Until 2023, when he took his subsisting break from active political office after he lost his attempt at the presidency, and resigned his appointment as the Minister of Transportation, former governor of Rivers State, Hon. RotimiAmaechi, is one of the few Nigerians the nation has been immensely kind to.
Put differently his political engagements before the return to civil rule in 1999, Amaechi was one of the few politicians, who had served the longest on the political scene in this Fourth Republic, living the Nigerian dream with grace and mercy.
