Rivers guber: What Gov. Wike, Abe plan to do to Amaechi – Ex-nPDP spokesperson, Eze

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Rivers state,
Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has encouraged members of the party in the state
not to lose faith over recent developments, regarding the failure of
the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to publish names
of the party's candidates in its latest list.

Eze said members of the party should take solace in the fact that no
matter the odds, "our candidates will surely participate in all the
2019 elections."

Eze said that the target of the persistent attack on the APC in the
state is actually not the party, but its leader, Chibuike Amaechi.

He alleged that the sponsors of the attacks, especially through the
manipulation of the courts and judges, is to substantially wreck
Amaechi nationally and make him look like he is not in charge of his
home base.

Eze gave the encouragement in a statement issued to DAILY POST on
Friday morning, where he also expressed shock at the "unbelievable
reactions from some allies of the leader of the party in the State,
who supposedly ought to known better, but had been panicky, noting
that most of the errors of judgement that had given led to the
apprehensive development would soon be corrected."

He added that, "Besides, INEC has just said there's a big room for APC
to be on the ballot come February 16, 2019.

"According to Festus Okoye the INEC Spokesperson, worse case scenario
is, if the judgements comes very close to the elections; Rivers State
elections will be moved a little bit forward to accommodate other
parties so why are we agitated over an issue we know that we have a
good case?"

Eze also noted that the unfolding drama had "exposed both the state
Governor, Chief Nyesom Wike and the Senator representing Rivers
South-East, Senator Magnus Abe, as enemies of democracy, who had all
along cloaked their disgust for free democracy, adding that it was
their fear of the pedigree of the leader of the party in the State,
who is the Minister of Transportation, Rt. Hon Chibuike Rotimi
Amaechi, and the Governorship candidate of the party, Pastor Tonye
Cole, that had driven them to the extreme point of attempting to
muzzle justice.

"All the judgements so far delivered against APC all are based on the
faulty foundation orchestrated by Barr Chinweikpe Chieme, who
erroneously represented the party in the celebrated case of Justice
Chinwendu Nworgu, from which other judgements are derived. With this
fact, what is expected of our Legal Team is to prove that Justice
Chiwendu's judgement was based on a fellow earlier threatened by one
of the Judges not approved to represent the party.

"Luckily, We have a ruling on representation coming up on Monday 21st
at the Supreme Court, where all these lies and issues will be sorted
out, with all these hullabaloo and hues will soon to die down, Wike
and Abe will be disgraced when our candidates not only participate in
the elections but formally retire them from active politics.

Eze maintained that the issues of law are fluid, as they say, and only
those in the profession know better. I laugh over some of the comments
and frustrations by some of our members in a case divinely designed to
expose true enemies of democracy and prosperity of Rivers State.

Eze reiterated that "the plots of Wike and Abe, in their devious
attempt of destroying APC, is beyond what most people are thinking.
APC is not actually the target but aimed at decimating Amaechi and his
political structure to render him useless at the Federal level but
they failed to acknowledge the spirituality base of the political
family of Amaechi. They refused to learn from the miracle of October,
2007.

"They refused to learn from their futile attempts to frustrate him out
of PDP and the consequences on them thereafter. They refused to learn
from their failed collaborated efforts to stop his ministerial
appointment. They will also fail in this futile attempt of ridiculing
APC.

"The candidature of Tonye Cole actually sent shivers down the spine of
my good friends, Governor Nyesom Wike and Senator Magnus Abe as they
know that they have no single chance against such an international
personality groomed to rescue Rivers State from its present
predicament and pitiable state. But that dream of rescuing Rivers
State will be actualised no matter all these unwarranted plots", he
said.
