‘I Don’t Have Time For This!’ – Why Rotimi Amaechi Left Paul Okoye’s Wedding

Governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi, stormed out of the traditional marriage ceremony of Paul Okoye barely 30 minutes after he arrived, because the ceremony did not start on time.

Quote

Governor Rotimi Amaechi couldn’t understand why the event had not begun by 2pm when it was billed to start by 12pm.

The governor came in around 2pm and, as he alighted from his vehicle, his aides informed him that the event had not started and neither the couple nor celebrity guests had arrived.

He responded, ‘If we wait for some time and they don’t come, we will leave. I don’t have time for all this.’

The governor posed for photos before entering the hall. However, barely 30 minutes later, a visibly unimpressed Amaechi walked out of the hall accompanied by his aides and drove out of the event premises.

The marriage ceremony, which was billed to start by 12pm, did not commence till around 2:45pm.

Jeez, Nigerians really need to start keeping to time!

I think the governor did the right thing. Schedule for 12.00pm and he came there by 02.00pm and waited for 30minutes. He have others things to do with his time na.

No time , also time is money, we should learn how to keep time,
Besides when he knows that the governor of the state is coming
He shouldn't have keeping him waiting, he should have started it
by the time it was expected, let's learn how toi keep time

Ceremony scheduled for 12pm and Amaechi shows up at 2pm and like a true politician is angry that the ceremony has not started and no one stood up to greet him!!!!!What about him showing good leadership quality by showing up at the scheduled time(12pm)?What is the big difference between being 2 hours late and being 2 hours 45 minutes later?Two wrongs can make one right especially if you are a politician.
