Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has said that palpable tension and gloom of apprehension seem to have enveloped the camp of political adversaries of former Transportation Minister, Rt Hon. Chibuike Amaechi over his conspicuous role in the coalition movement that is metamorphosing into a mega political association to wrestle power from the ‘inept and most clueless’ administration of the APC led by President Bola Tinubu in 2027.
In a statement made available to the media, Chief Eze opined that Amaechi’s retreat from political engagements after the heavily manipulated and dollarized APC Presidential primaries that produced Tinubu as candidate, where the former Rivers Governor emerged second, depicted a man with genuine democratic principle and ideology.
Eze noted that after the APC presidential primaries, news spread abroad that the political prospects of the high-profile Rivers-born politician had hit the rock, particularly when the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, was compensated with his current appointment into the cabinet of Tinubu for allegedly manipulating the presidential ballots in Rivers State in what would later be described by observers as heavy electoral fraud, even when it was obvious, he lost his own poling unit in Obio/Akpor to the Labour Party.
‘In a seeming turn out of event, the frontline roles of the former Rivers Governor in the coalition movement that is pioneering the formation of the All Democratic Alliance (ADA), have sent shockwaves down the spines of political lilyputs who are opposed to his grassroots political orientation.
“Amaechi’s involvement in the coalition movement is currently causing rubble in the camp of political adversaries who feel threatened by his network of influence in the political playground”, he stated.
Eze further stated that political saboteurs, familiar tradesmen and serial jobbers with penchants for betrayal and blackmail, who are non-merchantable, and with only nuisance value are unsettled and jolted by Amaechi’s resurgence in the country’s political advancement.
“Some of the fickle minded armchair political jobbers, who once spoke ill and cast aspersion on the person of Amaechi have now resorted to a new twist.
“This time, they no longer argue his relevance; rather they wish he will not succeed.
“Some brag they trust in the manipulative prowess and fraudulent trajectory of the President to use federal might to frustrate the coalition and truncate the chances of the political association to win in 2027, Eze noted.
According to the statement, Amaechi’s adversaries are already threatening fire and brimstone; that if he emerges, they would do everything humanly and politically possible to thwart his ambition to unseat Tinubu.
“But as an ardent follower and political student of the former Transportation Minister, Eze said those assertions and claims are false, unrealistic and bragging of political sycophants who dish out unreasonable utterances just to massage the ego of their paymaster.
“Amaechi’s political allies are men of character, proven integrity, visionary, with exemplary leadership and managerial acumen who do not trade their persona and reputation for any amount of money.
“They are men of valour, lovers of Nigerians, firm believers in the country’s democratic governance and great mobilizers of men and resources who would not refuse even the least of the prodigal sons and political wanderers right of re-entry into the Amaechi political family.
“Amaechi has a large heart and I know he is ready to accept, as his character is, those who wandered away but later rediscovered their path regardless of the acts of sabotage”, Eze stated.
The APC Chief refuted claims from some faceless individuals particularly from one notoriously valueless and inconsequential camp of clowns in Rivers State, that associates of the former Transportation Minister plan to make lives unbearable and a living hell when they win in 2027, stressing that Amaechi has been about service for the people and when victory comes in 2027, he will serve to improve the lost of suffering Nigerians.
Eze, therefore appealed to loyalists, associates, supporters and Nigerians who are clamouring for positive change of political leadership of the country in 2027, to remain steadfast, focused, peaceful, and prayerful against the evil machinations of those at the helm of affairs now.
“Amaechi’s involvement in the coalition, leading to the formation of a formidable political party portends good tidings for Nigerians who are desirous of genuine democratic leadership and people oriented governance.
“Embarking on and encouraging systemic corruption by building houses for Judges, construction of roads leading to their quarters, building of multi billion annex headquarters for INEC by the FCT administration are all exercise in futility as Nigerians are poised to vote out Tinubu regardless of calculated plans to use federal might to rig the 2027 general election in his favour’, Eze stated.
Eze appealed to Nigerians to disregard all forms of propaganda, blackmail and sponsored negative media reports targeted at undermining the role of Amaechi and leadership of the coalition.
