The out going Minister of Transportation, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi has said that he want to go to heaven which he believes is real.
Honourable Amaechi said this while giving his testimony of life during a thanksgiving Service to mark his 54th Birthday on Sunday, May 26, 2019
“My priority is to make heaven. Everybody wants to make heaven, the only thing is that people still want to live their sinful lives and still go to heaven. Everyone must, however, avoid the sinful life if they want to make heaven,” he added.
He pledged the donation of 10 bags of rice every month and to print the weekly Sunday church bulletin for a period of three years
He recalled that he grew up from a very poor background and could barely feed, stating that the donation was for 10 bags of rice every month for the period of 3 years.
“Why I am doing this is because I know that there are some people in this church, who don’t have food to eat, the way I could barely feed while growing up then. So, for the next three years, I will give 10 bags of rice monthly.
“Also, from next Sunday, bulletin will be free for everybody for the next three years”, he promised.
The outgoing minister said that his wife organised a dinner to mark his birthday with his friends, but after receiving a lot of financial gifts from his friends, he decided to share his gifts with the church.
He thanked God for his life, family, friends and for everything God has made him to be. “I cannot do anything without God”, he declared
Meanwhile, his wife, Judith, said she was grateful to God for keeping her husband alive.
She said that his honesty and integrity had always kept him going and spoken volumes for him, saying that she always encouraged him to continue to serve others.
According to her, the minister has done his best in terms of infrastructural development in the area of rail.
Also, Mr Olorunnimbe Mamora, the Managing Director of National Inland Waterways Authority (NIWA), thanked God for Amaechi’s life.
He said that they had been friends since 1999 and that he could not but be a passionate loyalist to his friends.
According to the officiating priest, “Chibuike Amaechi has lived up to the meaning of his name.”
The thanksgiving Service was held to mark the 54th birthday of Rt. Honourable Chibuike Amaechi and the end of his tenure as a minister by the St. Gabriel Chaplaincy Catholic Secretariat of Nigeria in Abuja.
