PORT HARCOURT/Nigeria: All Progressives Congress chieftain, Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze a close associate and ally of Senator Magnus Ngei Abe the Senator representing Rivers South East senatorial zone in the National Assembly and Chairman of the Senate Committee on Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA)) has described the recent statement credited to the Distinguished Senator that nobody can stop his governorship ambition as reckless, untoward, unfortunate and undemocratic.
Eze explained that “by Abe making such unguided statement it brings out the undemocratic nature of the Senator that even the electorates or party members lack the power to stop him from his gubernatorial ambition. This explains why the Senator have resisted and discarded every normal democratic steps taken by both APC as a party and her leadership to institute and enrich democracy in the party insisting not minding all his inadequacies that APC can’t survive unless he (Abe) flies her flag during the 2019 general elections. This hard stance is not only unacceptable, unfortunate but will not be tolerated by any sound democratic institution like APC.”
According to Chief Eze erstwhile National Publicity Secretary (NPS) of the defunct New PDP (nPDP) and a foundation member of APC in a press statement circulated to the media and general public on Wednesday highlighted that Abe as a citizen of Nigeria is well qualified to contest for any electoral position in the country but to go about it as if it is a do or die affair is what will make it impossible for such a dream to be realized through APC during the 2019 general elections.
Eze counseled his good friend, Senator Abe to stop blaming his mentor, Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, Minister of Transportation as the force behind his political woes but rather blame himself for whatever it is he is currently going through in his political life, adding that “it is a fact that Amaechi’s impact in the political life of Abe can’t be overemphasized which made the Distinguished Senator to proudly state that, “Amaechi have invested so much in my political career that today I have become the highest political investment of Amaechi in Nigeria.”
“It beats my imagination therefore that Abe who knows what Amaechi has invested in him politically will still constitute himself as a stumbling block to APC dislodging Governor Wike whose tenure as the Governor of Rivers State has become anathema and a curse to the State” Eze reiterated.
The APC chieftain listed some of the grievous mistakes Abe made that makes his dream of governing Rivers State through APC as elusive, which amongst them are, deplorable strategy of dropping the names of leaders of the party, including those of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Muhamnadu Buhari, the National Leader of APC, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, Aisha Buhari the Nigeria’s First lady and the National Chairman of the APC, Comrade Adams Oshiomhole as the people behind his candidature to deceive his innocent followers that he is the candidate to beat, as far as the APC ticket is concerned in River state, aligning himself with Governor Wike and other external forces to divide, decimate and undermine the progressive vision and mission of APC in Rivers State.
