…Exposes Why Tinubu against all odds declared State of Emergency in Rivers State
…. Eze Bids Tinubu Goodbye As Unseating a Sitting President is the Hallmark of Amaechi
“…..Eze describes as sad, unfortunate and regrettable how Amaechi was treated by Tinubu and his cohorts after 2023 knowing very well the sacrifices and risks that Amaechi took with others in installing APC as a ruling party in Nigeria. He predicts that this act of wickedness, ingratitude will surely ouster Tinubu from governance come 2027 no matter the odds.
Eze takes solace with the fact that Tinubu will be only a one term President now that Amaechi have entered into the field knowing that he is capable of replicating what he did in 2015 in 2027 as Unseating a Sitting President is his Hallmark”
Erstwhile National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New Peoples Democratic Party (nPDP) and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has thrown to the dogs claims by certain eye-service politicians that Bola Tinubu, was the mastermind of political alignment and strategies that led to the victory of Muhammadu Buhari, during the 2015 presidential elections.
Chief Eze described such careless and ill-fated statements as emanating from fickle minded rabble-rousers, who would stop at nothing in making attempts to rebrand Tinubu as a democrat.
“The senseless, controvertible, misleading and ungodly statement is not only fallacious, but totally bereft of sound reasoning.
“It can only originate from a group of political irredentists and charlatans, who from their dirty closets of joblessness, are ever willing to dish out statements rooted in sycophancy just to score cheap political goal” Eze said.
The APC Chieftain was reacting to a
statement credited to the Senior Special Assistant to President Bola Tinubu on Media and Publicity, one Mr. Temitope Ajayi.
In a statement on Tuesday, Eze, a member of the APC Legacy Media Team, said, though the insinuation was too nugatory to merit attention, however he stated there was the need to correct that erroneous impression.
“The fact that the insensitive sponsored statement gained traction in the media space makes this rebuttal imperative.
“I don’t intend to join issues with Ajayi, but to demount the falsehood his gutter talks intend to establish in the congregation of the reading public, Eze said.
Recall that Tinubu’s aide had in a post on his social media handle, claimed that even though Buhari had his “12 million captive Northern votes” he lost the presidential elections in 2003, 2007, and 2011 before 2015.
“General Buhari would not have won the APC primary election at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Lagos, in 2014, without President Tinubu, who mobilised the APC governors and the South West delegates to move Buhari’s way…” Ajayi arrogantly boasted.
However, Eze flayed the statement credited to the presidential aide, describing it as “a figment of his infantile imagination.
“Ajayi’s insinuation is a fairy tale, a false narrative that should be disconnected by right thinking Nigerians.
“Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi, the former Governor of Rivers State remains an undisputed factor in the history book of top brass Nigerians that worked towards the emergence of Muhammadu Buhari as candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the eventual winner at the presidential polls.
“As a matter of fact, aside from becoming the Director-General of the APC Presidential Campaign, where he mobilized Nigerians to deliver Buhari during the elections, Barr. Amaechi raised funds that saw the election of Buhari as the APC Presidential candidate.
“On the eve of the Primaries, Buhari was at the verge of losing until Amaechi stepped in to save the situation.
“At least, the former Secretary to Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, as an insider in most of APC activities should understand what he was saying about how Buhari became the President of Nigeria.
“I cannot remember seeing Temitope Ajayi, near APC activities during both the 2014 Presidential Primaries that elected Buhari as the APC Presidential candidate for him to know who made Buhari President or who contributed more in his emergence” Eze stated.
The APC Chief stated that Tinubu had plotted to truncate Buhari’s victory if he was not made Buhari’s running mate.
He explained that it was Amaechi and a few others who stood against Tinubu’s opposition with the simple reasoning that it would be risky facing PDP then with a Muslim-Muslim ticket.
“That.was how Osinbanjo was drafted into the map. And ever since then, Tinubu has always seen Amaechi as an adversary.
“Since then, Tinubu has not forgiven Amaechi for denying him this dream of becoming the Vice President of Nigeria; and set himself to ensure the decimation of Amaechi politically, with the feeling that Amaechi will become a stumbling block to his presidential ambition in future” Eze said.
Based on this act by former Rivers State Governor, Tinubu ensured that Amaechi was not made the Chief of Staff to Buhari or appointed the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, positions reserved for Amaechi after successfully midwifing the election of Buhari as the President of Nigeria.
“Ajayi has lost memory, if not, why did he forget so soon that Amaechi, as the Campaign Director General of the Buhari Presidential Campaign Organisation defeated a sitting President, the APC Chieftain stated.
According to Eze, it was based on the sagacity and unrelenting efforts of Amaechi in ensuring the election of Buhari against all odds that forced Bola Tinubu to declare Amaechi as “the General of Revolution” and that he is “not a chicken but Eagle”.
Eze recalled that in 2015, Bola Tinubu hailed Rotimi Amaechi, then Rivers State Governor, as a pivotal leader in the party’s coalition that ousted the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Nigeria’s general elections. Speaking at the launch of *Dynamics of Change: The Amaechi Years* in Lagos, Tinubu described Amaechi as the “General” of the “Common Sense Revolution,” a term he coined to signify the APC’s non-violent push against PDP’s 16-year rule, marked by alleged excesses and mismanagement. Tinubu credited Amaechi’s leadership in the Nigeria Governors’ Forum (NGF) and his defiance against then-President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration, particularly over federation account disputes, as instrumental to the APC’s victory.
Tinubu noted that Amaechi’s courage, especially amidst federal hostility, galvanized the coalition’s strategy, leading to Muhammadu Buhari’s historic win.
In view of this recognition, yet President Tinubu is still not relenting in ensuring that Amaechi is destroyed politically, “but is he God, no, not at all, Eze insisted.
He explained that political watchers would observe that after the first tenure of Buhari, Tinubu made every efforts for Amaechi not to be reappointed as the Director General of Buhari Presidential Campaign Organisation during the subsequent election, fearing that should he occupy that post once again, he may be too powerful for him to handle in future.
“What Tinubu is doing in Rivers State using Minister Nyesom Wike, is part of a broader plot to destabilize Amaechi’s political dynasty, the APC stalwart declared.
Eze blasted Ajayi and his likes, telling them to shut their stinking mouths, because according to him, “they are totally ignorant on how Buhari became the President of Nigeria”.
Therefore, he urged Tinubu’s aide and his irks to desist from peddling falsehood in order to impress their paymaster who has looted the country dry in less than three years into his administration as President.
Eze describes as sad, unfortunate and regrettable how Amaechi was treated by Tinubu and his cohorts after 2023 knowing very well the sacrifices and risks that Amaechi took with others in installing APC as a ruling party in Nigeria. He predicts that this act of wickedness and ingratitude will surely ouster Tinubu from governance come 2027 no matter the odds”
Eze takes solace with the fact that Tinubu will be only a one term President now that Amaechi have entered into the field knowing that he is capable of replicating what he did in 2015 in 2027 as Unseating a Sitting President is his Hallmark
