Erstwhile National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New People’s Democratic Party (nPDP) and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze has condemned the comment on fighting Gov. Siminialaye Fubara by the former governor of Rivers state and now Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike.
In a statement made available to the media houses, on Monday, Eze recalled that Wike had insisted publicly that he will fight his successor in office, Sir Fubara even if heaven falls.
He quoted the former governor as saying, “Anybody who knows me knows too well: what I’ll never take is threat. You know I will not agree. If heaven will come down, let heaven come down so that everybody will be at rest.. Let’s do things right. He said they should bring N20 billion every month; that’s politics. But nobody said this when I was fighting. If you like, accuse me. I won’t even have sleepless nights because, as far as I’m concerned, the right thing must be done.”
The former PDP publicity secretary added that the former governor at a Book Launch recently in Port Harcourt, said, ”I’ll cause you (Fubara) sleepless nights and nothing will happen .If I say there will be problems there will be, don’t be deceived. I don’t need to win but I need you to suffer; you can’t sleep. People will hold you responsible for non performance, I have finished my own 8 years..”All of you know me very well; how I fought the Former Governor Rt. Hon. Amaechi. If you are part of a political structure and you are going against the structure, the structure will call you to order. It’s not about rushing to court, all of us have capacity to rush to court. I will reply everybody at the appropriate time”.
Eze said such unguarded comments as exposed above, even though made in an unconscious state, constitute an affront to God and puts a direct challenge to the authority of President Tinubu who had waded into the crisis.
He reminded the former Governor of his status as a mere mortal and counseled him to be cautious of his choice of words, adding that Heaven can only fall when it is ordained to fall as contained in the Holy Book of St. Mathew Chapter 24:26 and not by the ordinary comment of a ‘political drunkard ‘in the pursuit of inordinate things.
He restated that the conflict or rather the crisis in Rivers State politics is ordained by God to ”free Rivers State from Wike’s damaging grip which has dealt badly with the state, her resources and the people”.
He said, ”Wike has declared in a video that have gone viral that he is a good friend of the Devil and in that case an enemy of God because he who is friend to the Devil can not be a friend of God”.
On snubbing the counsel of President Tinubu for peace to be maintained between him and Governor Fubara, the APC chief said, ”such action proves me right that the time comet when Wike will expose his true nature to Tinubu and the time is gradually building up.”
”The ball is now in the Court of Governor Sim Fubara to lead the struggle to free Rivers State from this destructive man or get himself consumed in the process”, Eze highlighted
