A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has asked State Governor Nyesom Wike, to leave the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Atiku Abubakar, out of his political woes.
The erstwhile National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New People’s Democratic Party (nPDP) described the Wike’s current political ordeal as recompense and obvious effect of karma – a force considered as affecting ones life triggered from their previous actions.
Eze, in a statement in Port Harcourt on Thursday, said at some point in one’s life, one must reap what he has sown over the years.
He said in 2013, 35 governors went into an election to elect the chairman of the Nigeria Governors Forum (NGF).
According to him, 19 governors voted for a former governor Rotimi Amaechi while 16 voted for a former Plateau governor Jonah Jang.
However, he explained that former President Goodluck Jonathan recognised Jonah Jang over the other.
Eze accused Wike of celebrating what he called an evil act, adding that the Rivers governor in the same year inspired five legislators loyal to him in the Rivers State House of Assembly.
He said that this was in an attempt to take over a House of 32 members with a view to impeaching Amaechi, who was then governor.
“One year after some PDP Governors including Kwankwaso, Nyako, Saraki, Mu’azu Babangida Aliyu and others came to Port Harcourt to sympathise with Amaechi over his ordeals in the hands of Jonathan and Wike, Wike influenced his boys to stone hell out of these highly placed governors.”
