Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze says the luncheon organised by FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike in Portharcourt at the weekend has exposed to the world how irrelevant he has become in the politics of Rivers State.
In a statement made available to the media houses, Chief Eze opined that the minister put together the event to relaunch his wobbling political relevance and structure which has been demolished by God through Gov. Fubara with the support of Rivers people.
” Nothing will take Rivers State to Egypt again no matter the level of evil gatherings and machinations”, he prayed.
Eze revealed that the SDP gubernatorial candidate and former Rivers Southeast Senator, Magnus Abe’s entrance into APC forced Wilke to hold the luncheon which saw just one out of three Senators from Rivers State, 25 former Rivers Lawmakers, former members of the Rivers State Executive Council who resigned and some elders in attendance.
Furthermore, Eze alleged that Wike and Abe entrances into APC was to further decimate the party.
”Given the unprincipled terrain of Nigerian politics, I have no reservation for the entrance of the two saboteurs into the party, but the concern is that they already have intentions to further decimate the party by fermenting further crisis through jostling for leadership even when former Transportation Minister, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Amaechi has not resigned his membership of the party to create room for new leadership structure.
”Senator Abe played a key role at the formation stage of the APC both at the National level and in Rivers State and under the platform, he was elected Senator, and was tipped for the position of Senate Majority Leader if he has listened to wise counsel to stop his fight against APC and contested for the South East Senatorial Seat in 2019 and would have been duly elected as Senate President unopposed if he had contested the 2023 general elections as a Senator, but he threw every counsel to the winds when he resolved to join Wike to ruin the APC with crisis using state resources forgetting the crown that was set before him just because the party was unable to field him during the 2015 general elections and by 2023 he walked away from the party to fly the flag of SDP during the 2023 general elections where he made no significant impact”.
Eze said, ”it would be fair that since President Tinubu has settled to reward those who fought APC in Rivers State, he should look the way of Sen. Abe for an appointment and not just Wike, because Abe was a good saboteur, a spoiler from the inside”.
He maintained that nobody can deny the fact that both Abe and Wike played a key role in the decimation of APC in Rivers State and for Wike alone to be so honoured is totally unfair and unacceptable to any rationale mind.
”What is good for the goose is also good for gander”, he stated.
He called on Wike and Abe to formally apologize to Rivers people, APC family and Amaechi.
”Wike and Abe should formally apologize to Rivers people,particularly the APC family for the carnage, and unspeakable evil they wrought on the party and her supporters in the state during the 2015 to 2023 elections and the party and pay a royal visit to Amaechi the man who if not for his intervention and sacrifices there wouldn’t have been APC in this nation for approval if they sincerely want to join APC which Wike described as a cancerous party at a very dangerous stage of death”.
