A founding member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chukwuemeka Eze has lambasted Senator Magnus Abe over his recent comments that the party cannot succeed in Rivers state without him and his supporters.
Recall that Abe, in an address at Bera, Gokana Local Government Area last week, claimed that the APC could not succeed in the state without him and his supporters.
Abe had also boasted to his supporters that nobody can push him out of the party nor play politics without him in the state.
According to him: “There is nobody in Nigeria, there is nobody in Rivers State, who would say there is no APC in Gokana. Can anybody say that? And you can also see that because of the love that my people have shown to me, because of the love and respect that Ogoni people have shown me, it is now clear to the whole of Nigeria, to the whole of Rivers State that, it would be impossible, I repeat the word impossible, to do the politics of APC here in Rivers State without you and me.”
However, in a statement in Port Harcourt, Eze, who is an aide to the Minister of Transportation maintained that the APC in Rivers State was better off without Senator Abe.
Eze said, “It is ironic and laughable to learn that Senator Magnus Abe whose membership of the APC is a matter of question, has continued to deceive some gullible youths of Rivers State that APC will not exist in Rivers State without him and some of his misguided supporters.
“Even when he has tactically removed himself from the party upon his deliberate refusal to renew his membership of the party amidst several windows of opportunities.”
Eze, who is also the past National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New Peoples Democratic Party, also criticised the former APC spokesman, Ogbonna Nwuke, who recently resigned his position and left the party.
