2019 election: How Wike’s plan to become Tambuwal’s Vice President, hand over to Abe failed – Eze
Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze has alleged that Governor of the State,
Nyesom Wike's attempt to destroy the party became pronounced after his
bid to become Governor Tambuwal's vice failed.
Eze said that Senator Magnus Abe has been working hard to destroy the
APC having been promised by Wike to take over as Governor in 2013.
He said that Wike was venting his frustration on the APC after he
failed to install Tambuwal as the presidential candidate of the
Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, who had allegedly promised to make him
his vice.
According to Eze, in a statement he personally signed and forwarded to
DAILY POST, on Tuesday, the recent court judgement nullified the
indirect governorship primary that produced Tonye Cole as the party's
standard bearer and ceaseless peddling of falsehoods immersed with
propaganda were handiwork of Abe and Wike "mainly targeted to ridicule
Pastor Tonye Cole, the flag-bearer of APC in the 2019 general
elections."
He said that the plot was hatched by the duo to weaken APC in the
state, ensure it has no candidate to fly its governorship flag next
year and secure an effortless victory for Wike to continue as governor
of the state.
"Sadly, Wike found solace in the political misfortune of Senator
Magnus Abe whose political blunder have placed him in quagmire and
awkward situation to be used as a destructive tool to achieve what is
currently happening in Rivers State today," he noted.
"The plot became more pronounced, important and a do-or-die project
for the duo immediately Governor Wike's scheme to become the vice
presidential candidate of the PDP failed with the failure of the
Sokoto's state governor, Alhaji Aminu Tambuwal, to clinch the
presidential ticket of the party then the plot for easy clinching of a
second term for Wike and to pass the baton on to Magnus Abe in 2023
becomes deadly and imperative.
"This has resulted to the desperation by the duo and their misguided
aides that cajoles up all sort of funny and falsehoods in order to
ruin the person and personality of a world respected and renowned
figure like Pastor Tonye Cole the divinely anointed next Governor of
Rivers State come 2019.
"The devious plot will surely run into the rocks as the coming of
Tonye Cole wasn't man-made but divinely set up to rescue Rivers State
from the hands of confused elements whose major aim is to loot the
common patrimony of Rivers State with impunity and ensure insecurity
as a means of governance.
"This notwithstanding, the fact remains that if this plot is not
arrested now and those involved in the devious moves punished
accordingly, it might snowball into a political crisis, which may
affect the 2019 elections in the State.
Eze, a former Spokesperson of the defunct New Peoples Democratic
Party, nPDP, also condemned the protest by some persons allegedly
identified as supporters of Senator Abe, on Friday, at the national
secretariat of the party in Abuja.
He continued, "What is the essence of the protest after Senator Abe
and his misguided group were celebrating the judgement that placed
Rivers State as a laughing stock before the International community
indicating that the so called judgement has no bearing or effect on
with the State structure of the party or the election of Pastor Tonye
Cole as the APC Flag-Bearer or any candidate of the party in the 2019
general elections.
"I note with happiness that not minding all these unwarranted
distractions by Abe, the APC Rivers state Chairman, Ojukaye Amachree
has presented candidates of the party with their certificate of return
and INEC form CF1 for the 2019 general elections", he said.
Eze commended the National Working Committee, NWC, for "appealing
against Justice Chinwendu Nworgu unfortunate judgement to demonstrate
that Wike and Abe evil partnership will not stand."
