Minister of Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi has revealed what led him to politics in Nigeria.
In an interview with The Punch, the former Rivers State governor said his father was a politician who ran for councillorship during his time.
He said he however did not join politics because he wanted to become a leader or solve Nigeria’s problem but because of unemployment.
Speaking further, Amaechi said he believed grace also played a part in it.
He added: “I actually got auditioned at the Nigeria Television Authority to be a broadcaster.
“I recall that I walked into their office then and said I wanted to see a certain person . But the person I met asked me if I had been auditioned because I had a wonderful voice. I told him I hadn’t and he asked for me to be auditioned.
“However, before the employment letter came, I was already into politics. That saved me. I would have been a broadcaster by now.”
