RIVERS CRISIS: Eze mocks Wike, says, “law of nature at work against you”
*As he recalls Rivers ex-governor ignored his counsel
National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New Peoples Democratic Party (nPDP) and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has claimed that the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory ( FCT), Nyesom Wike, ignored his counsel.
According to Eze, the law of nature is at work against Wike, who is currently in a battle over who steers Rivers State with Governor Siminialayi Fubara.
Eze, in a statement on Saturday, hinted that it is the law of retributive justice working against the Governor, recalling that in 2014, Wike supported five lawmakers led by Evans Bipi to sack 27 lawmakers loyal to Amaechi, then Governor of Rivers State and elected Bipi as Speaker and today five lawmakers have sacked 27 of their colleagues loyal to him.
“When I told him that whatever you sow will come after you he ignored my counsel”, Eze said.
Eze further recalled that in 2018, when the then Governor of Zamfara State, Governor Bello Matawalle decamped from PDP to APC, Wike was threatening fire and brimstone that he should vacate his office in line with the constitution.
According to Eze, Wike used the same strategy on Dr David Umahi of Ebonyi State and his Cross Rivers State counterpart Ben Ayade when they decamped from PDP to APC.
“The constitution is clear and the law must be adhered to and going by that, the decampees have lost their seats at the state legislature, it happened in Cross Rivers State so all the noise about the ex-lawmakers in Rivers State is a noise of no value,” the party chief noted.
Eze said after losing the PDP presidential ticket, Ganduje has gone on to ensure that Wike is sent back to the classroom of practical politicking to learn the rudiments.
He has been tricked into thinking that he handed over Rivers State APC to him by wrongly dissolving the Rivers State Chapter and appointing some Wike’s loyalists as Caretaker Committee.
By doing so, Ganduje has created the opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the former Rivers Governor and his type of politics, whereas it was a mere ploy to drown him in the deep ocean of politics.
Eze commended Femi Gbajabiamila, the Chief of Staff to President Tinubu for turning “Wike into an unlearned comedian, poor cook, unskilled dancer and untalented entertainer.”
Recent revelations
In a report report, the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, had condemned the dissolution of the executives of the Rivers State APC by Abdullahi Umar Ganduje-led party leadership believed to be working on President Tinubu’s directives.
Eze, in a statement on Saturday November 25, 2023, alleged that the development was part of a plot to embarrass former Rivers State Governor, Chief Rotimi Chibuike Amaechi.
Eze noted that President Bola Tinubu and the party’s National Chairman, Umar Ganduje, plotted the scheme to hand over the state chapter of the party to FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, and write off Amaechi and his team, notwithstanding the “wars the latter fought to prune and nurture the party to its sustainable status”.
