Amaechi uring the induction
A Minister-designate, Mr Rotimi Amaechi, has been promoted to the
highest rank in the Catholic Church under the Order of the Knights of
St. John.
The exemplification honour of the Knights of St. John from Grand Master,
Nigerian Temple Noble and Exalted Knights of the Holy Cross Knight of
St. John International, was conferred on the minister-designate for his
service to the Order and humanity for over 20 years at the Pope John
Paul II Catholic Centre in Abuja. Monsignor Kenneth Enang, the cleric in
charge of the Pope John II Catholic Centre, explained that the
promotion was premised on Amaechi’s support for the growth of the
Catholic Church.
“We want to thank you, Knights of St John’s, all the other knights,
college of knights, for the work you are doing for the church, for the
support we get from the knights in many areas not only the financial
support but also the moral support.
“The Knights of St. Colombo’s built the seminary we have now at Kuje
when Cardinal Ekandem was alive and many of the knights have built
churches and handed over to the church.
“We ask God to bless you and your good works and let your labours not be in vain,” he said.
In his acceptance speech, Amaechi expressed his continued commitment to the Catholic Church and membership of the knights.
The minister-designate also expressed joy for the promotion, saying:
“For our leaders, our grandmaster here present, thinking that we are
qualified; my friend, Collyns and Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu, we are very
grateful and happy for considering us worthy of this great position.
Thank you and God bless you.”
