Rotimi Amaechi, minister of transportation, has put out a gospel song featuring Judith, his wife. Produced by Obliblo Music, the single was released in commemoration of his 56th birthday. Titled ‘Blessed People the Lord Has Chosen as His Heritage’, Amaechi and his wife sing about God’s faithfulness in their family on the song. “Blessed people the Lord has chosen as his heritage.
