A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, Eze Chukwuemeka Eze has described Governor Nyesom Wike’s statement to address the public on the current happenings in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as an empty threat.
Eze reminded the Rivers governor of his promise to fully support whoever emerged as candidate of the party during the PDP presidential primary in Abuja.
The erstwhile National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New People’s Democratic Party (nPDP) said Wike’s statement further showed that he is “a desperate opportunist who has earned himself a reputation of a political chameleon with a wagging tongue of deceit.”
According to him, the ‘threat’ by the governor to expose some recent happenings in the PDP, after Atiku Abubakar’s interview with ARISE Television does not hold water, adding that the governor and his followers were only seeking public attention.
“Is he going to tell us that he never wasted Rivers State funds in the wild goose chase of the PDP Presidential ticket in which he was thoroughly defeated.? Or is he going to tell us that he never mobilised to be appointed as the Vice Presidential Candidate of PDP? or is Wike going to tell us that he never vowed to support whoever emerged as the PDP Presidential Flag-Bearer?
“In case, he has forgotten he should listen to the video containing his speech where he thundered and vowed “Today anyone who emerges here I will support the person to the fullest because I am a committed party person because I love this party because since 1998 I have been in this party, I will work for this party, I will not go anywhere this is my party”.
“Is Wike going to tell us that Atiku has no right to appoint who should be his Vice President? I have counseled Wike to pipe down and accept his fate as his poor leadership, deceitful record, bad administration, past deeds, and unwarranted and unguided utterances were the major factors that worked against him in not clinching the PDP Presidential ticket or becoming the Vice President to the PDP Presidential Flag-Bearer,” Eze said.
He advised the governor to stand and work in favour of the PDP, adding that the APC cannot tolerate to have him “after all the damages he has done to the party in the State.”
Recall that governor Nyesom Wike had in a statement by his special adviser on media, Kevin Ebiri, said that he would reveal to Nigerians all that has transpired in the PDP since the emergence of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar as the party’s presidential flagbearer.
