Peace is overrated. Ask Rotimi Amaechi. The seeds of peace and slumberous calm wilted in his yard ever since his foray into politics. It will be recalled that while he served as executive governor of Rivers State, his eight-year tenure was fraught by endless challenges, political conflicts and controversies.
Fast-forward to the incumbent administration, since his appointment as the nation’s Minister of Transport, it has been one day one trouble for Amaechi. He has never known a moment’s peace. It is either he is fighting a colleague, especially Hadi Sirika, the Minister of Aviation, for ‘seniority’ or Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State.
As you read, Amaechi is embroiled in controversy with Wike over the two controversial helicopters for which the customs says no one has claimed responsibility for its importation. It’s really sad that he does not have peace of mind at all.
Let’s hope he understands soon enough that life is vanity. You are here today and you could depart for the afterlife tomorrow. Will Amaechi begin to avoid controversies and make the most of a peaceful life?
