Kuginzi: 8:01pm On Apr 26
Former Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi, has narrated how God drove his car from Kano to Kaduna State while he was sleeping behind the steering.

Amaechi narrated that the incident occurred after he and some others installed the Emir of Kano State, though he didn’t reveal the identity of the monarch.

The former governor of Rivers State disclosed that Goje, Baraje and Professor Gambari were also in the car with him while he drove.

He spoke as a guest speaker at the ninth edition of Akinjide Adeosun Foundation, AAF, Annual Leadership Discourse organised in Lagos.

Amaechi said after installing the Emir, the Director of the Department of State Services, DSS, in Kano State warned him to leave the state because he can’t guarantee his safety.

The former governor said while he attempted to depart the state via air, there was an order that prevented airline operators from selling tickets to him.

According to Amaechi: “When we went to install the Emir of Kano. When we had succeeded, but it had not been announced, we told the governor of Kano State that we were leaving.

He said: ‘okay.’ So, we went to the airport. I boarded my plane. I had chartered the plane, an Indian pilot, by the way. We took off. We were going to Abuja, but the weather was bad and I am always afraid of weather.

“So, we came back. Instead of landing in Kaduna, I said we couldn’t land in Kaduna because the governor of Kaduna was a member of the PDP and he was hostile. So, I said Let’s go back to Kano. We got to Kano where they didn’t let us land for 20 minutes. However, we eventually landed. When the weather improved, they called us to inform us that the weather had improved. We boarded the plane and were about to leave Kano when they told us we could not leave Kano. I asked why

"They said it was an order from above. So, I called the former governor of Kano State, Kwankwaso, and informed him that there was an order from above that I shouldn’t leave Kano. He said: ‘come to the Government House’. And luckily for us, Aero Contractors landed. When Aero Contractors landed, we said: ‘Thank God, thank God.’ I told my staff: ‘ go and buy Aero Contractors tickets; wherever they were going, let us go’.

"Having gone to purchase Aero Contractors tickets, they returned to me to say: ‘Sir, they said we cannot buy Aero Contractors tickets.’ I asked: ‘Why? I thought they said only commercial aircraft could go. Private jets couldn’t go.’ However, they said: ‘No, you can’t go.’ So I said: ‘Then we will go to Government House.’ As I was talking, the director of SSS walked in and saluted me. He was the director of SSS in Rivers State before he was transferred to Kano. He said: ‘Oga, you must leave Kano now.

“Even if it means sleeping in Bichi.’ At the time, I didn’t know where Bichi was. I said: ‘why?’ He said: ‘I can’t for your life.’ I told him: ‘But the governor has told me to come to the Government House.’ He said: ‘Don’t you go near there.’

"So, I requested for security, which he gave me. We bought fuel. He said: ‘Switch off your phones.’ We switched off our phones. By the time I left Kano, the people with me – Goje, who was about to cry, had slept off. Baraje and Professor Gambari had slept, and I was the only person who drove.

“By the time I got to Zaria, I needed to ease myself. I came down, eased myself. From Kaduna, God drove us because I was sleeping. In fact, I came down in Kaduna where I bought six cans of Red Bull. It didn’t work. So God drove us from Kaduna to Abuja.”

Ok, the headline is bit misleading.
He meant he was exhausted, and took energy drink, yet the sleep kept calling. How he got to the next destination was by God's grace ('God drove the car')

I think it was better when Amaechi was silent.
He's talking too much recently. Is he about to decamp?

Doesn't make any sense, once a politician open his mouth make sure the next that will come out is 99.9% lie. Installing an Emir by sword just to spite Federal Government
