March 10, (THEWILL- A year and five months after he bagged a degree in Law from Baze University, former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi has successfully been called to the bar. Amaechi who stalled his call to the bar in order to contest the 2023 presidential elections on the platform of All Progressives Congress, APC but unfortunately came a distant second, was among the 4,412 students out of the total 5,300 students that sat for the bar exams in November 2023. He was however not lucky to be among the 251 that made a first class. The call to bar ceremony took place during week and some of those who visited the former two-time governor of Rivers State to felicitate with him was his friend and close confidant, the governor of Abia State, Alex Otti; former senator Dino Melaye; former Imo State governor, Emeka Ihedioha; Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Lateef Fagbemi; Rivers State governorship candidate, Tonye Cole; Ifeanyi Ararume; Senator Ali Ndume; Nasiru Danu etc. Before his call to the bar, not a few assumed that Amaechi was going to end up becoming an active player in the Lord’s vineyard going by his activities. First he tested the waters in 2021 with the release of a gospel music video, ‘Psalm 33: Blessed The People The Lord Has Chosen As His Heritage,’ which coincided with his 56th birthday celebrations. The single was also mixed, mastered and produced by Obliblo Music Production. Then in 2023, he released another single, ‘Responsorial Psalm’ with an accompanying video featuring his wife, Judith alongside the Obliblo Music Crew. The single which was produced, mixed and mastered by Obliblo Music Production was released to coincide with his 58th birthday celebration. But with his recent call to the bar, he just may jettison his obsession with gospel single and fully embrace the legal profession. Time will tell.
