Former National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New Peoples Democratic Party, nPDP, and All Progressives Congress chieftain, Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has claimed that the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, disregarded his advice.
According to Eze, the law of nature is working against Wike, who is now battling Governor Siminialayi Fubara over who will lead Rivers State.
In a statement issued on Saturday, Eze hinted that the law of retributive justice was at work against the Governor, recalling that in 2014, Wike supported five lawmakers led by Evans Bipi in sacking 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 stated that after losing the PDP presidential nomination, Ganduje went on to guarantee that Wike was returned to the school of actual politicking to master the fundamentals.
He was duped into believing that he handed over Rivers State APC to him by incorrectly dissolving the Rivers State Chapter and putting some Wike loyalists to the Caretaker Committee.
By doing so, Ganduje has created a chance to strike a severe blow to the former Rivers Governor and his style of politics, but in reality it was a scheme to drown him in the deep ocean of politics.
Eze praised Femi Gbajabiamila, President Tinubu’s Chief of Staff, for transforming “Wike into an unlearned comedian, poor cook, unskilled dancer, and untalented entertainer.”
