…Says No Responsible Group Would Extend an Invitation To Misery and Woe into Its Fold
…Says PDP, Atiku Fooled Wike, Nailed the Political Fortune of River 27 Ex-Lawmakers.
“….Until Wike shows total remorse for all that he did to decimate the APC in the State; the party faithful who lost their lives fighting his gunmen; and decides to respect the true leadership of the party in the State, he is not welcomed into the party and should continue to play his hide and seek game with his Abuja friends….”
Erstwhile National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New People’s Democratic Party (nPDP) and Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze Eze says reports that the Rivers State leadership of the All Progressives Congress is extending an invitation to the Minister of Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, in a bid to woo him into its fold to help the party win the presidential election for Bola Tinubu in 2027, is a a mere tale of fanciful fantasy manufactured from the figment of the imagination of those who do not mean well for the APC in the Rivers State and therefore should be discountenanced.
The trending tale was credited to one Tony Okocha – a self acclaimed State APC Caretaker Committee Chairman, during a one-million- man solidarity March for Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda’ in Port Harcourt on Thursday.
Okocha, described Wike, as a political strategist who cannot be ignored in Rivers State politics, adding that the immediate past governor has a midas touch.
He further said if the FCT Minister joins the party it will be easier for him to win elections for Tinubu in Rivers State, as the President will seek reelection after completing his first term in office.
“Wike is the leader of the ‘Renewed Hope Agenda’ in Rivers State. Wike was responsible for the victory of the Tinubu election in Rivers State. Wike is a reformer and he is our leader Rivers in State.”
“Wike is the game changer he has a Midas torch and you remember that we have been wooing him to come over to to help us. This is again one of those attempts to woo him to come over to APC and help us so that we will continue to win the elections for Mr President, particularly when elections come for 2027.”
Reacting through a statement made available to the media, Chief Eze described Okocha as a worthless jobber and notorious political tradesman notable for his zero mileage in moral compass and always exhibiting nuisance in the media space to beat the target of his paymasters without recourse to posterity and the effects of his damning character to his immediate family.
The APC Chief restated that as non-members and strangers to the party the likes of Mr. Okocha and Sen. Magnus Abe will never mean any good for the APC in Rivers State as a peep into their trajectory will reveal their penchant for sycophancy; to always initiate action that would stir up crisis and incite one against another for their selfish ends which have never served any public interest.
He said the duo of Okocha and Abe joined SDP during the 2023 general elections and refused to participate in the validation of membership of APC during the revalidation exercise sanctioned by the highest organ of the Party and wondered how none members would woo Nyesom Wike into a party which membership they do not even hold.
And the person being wooed is an avowed enemy of the party who did everything within his powers to frustrate the coming of the party to Rivers State; hundreds of party men died fighting for the APC in Rivers State yet strangers like Tony Okocha are gallivanting all over the media space to prove a point that only exists to mock the families of slain party men; the heroes of Rivers APC.
Eze stated that Wike, deep down, knows that he planted Okocha for crisis and he is also aware that the clown from Rumuigbo is not a member of the APC but a mere jobber doing his bidding for some kickbacks and that is one reason he can never be taken seriously.
Until Wike shows total remorse for all that he did to decimate the APC in the State; the party faithful who lost their lives fighting his gunmen; and decides to respect the true leadership of the party in the State, he is not welcomed into the party and should continue to play his hide and seek game with his Abuja friends.
On the State of the 27 pro former Rivers Lawmakers, Eze said the Court has made its position in line with the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria that they should stop parading themselves as Lawmakers henceforth and go back home to their spouses and children and chart a new course.
Eze counseled the stranded former Lawmakers to channel their woes to Nyesom who lured them into the thoughtless action that has stocked them in limbo.
The APC Chief commended the PDP leadership, especially, Alh. Atiku Abubakar who during the last NEC meeting of PDP demonstrated that he is still the master of the game by ensuring that all efforts of Wike to create division and disunity in the leadership of the party to create way for his stranded ex-lawmakers to have a ground for decamping to their woes were contained.
He urged the erstwhile Lawmakers to respect the decision of the Court which aligns with the position of the Constitution and quietly retire home to their families to avoid the wrath of Gov. Sim Fubara, the custodian of the red pen.
Eze equally commended Dr. Odili for proving that he is truly a Statesman by standing and aligning himself with the people of Rivers State and her Governor, Siminalayi Fubara at this moment of trial.
