Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, a prominent figure in the All Progressives Congress (APC), strongly condemns the dissolution of the party’s executives in Rivers State.
In a statement released on Saturday, he asserts that this move is part of a larger scheme aimed at embarrassing former Rivers governor, Chibuike Amaechi.
Eze goes on to claim that President Bola Tinubu and the National Chairman of the party, Umar Ganduje, orchestrated this plot with the intention of handing over the state chapter to FCT Minister Nyesom Wike.
This, he argues, is a deliberate effort to sideline Amaechi and his team, disregarding the significant contributions they made to shape and sustain the party.
Emphasizing the historical struggles Amaechi faced in building and nurturing the party to its current robust state, Eze warns against underestimating Wike, whom he labels a political chameleon. It serves as a caution to the perceived influential individuals, urging them to be cautious of Wike’s political maneuvering.
“I am happy to note that both Tinubu and Ganduje have suffered and tested the bitter pills of Wike in most of his attempts to decimate the party and to handover the party structure to him and his agents is nothing but sheer wickedness and unreasonableness, because it will definitely backfire.
“It is however unfortunate that all the appointments so far made by Tinubu and his government have only favored Wike, who fought Rivers APC to a standstill with the resource of the state at their peck and call,” he said.
Eze called on Ganduje and the national leadership of the party to note that their action could be prejudicial as the dissolution of the state exco is pending before a court of competent jurisdiction, before which an ex parte motion was also filed praying that parties maintain status quo – which means shelving the inauguration of the interim committee.
