A former National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New Peoples Democratic Party (nPDP) and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Eze Chukwuemeka Eze has said that former Minister, Chibuike Amaechi will not be instrumental in removing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu from office in 2027. He stated this while replying to allegations from Chairman of the ousted Committee of the Rivers APC, Tony Okocha that Amaechi was planning to sack Tinubu in the next election.....CONTINUE READING THE ARTICLE FROM THE SOURCE
Okocha had said, “There is an intention to throw up Amaechi’s man and then he (Amaechi) becomes the APC leader and then uses the party to fight Mr President in 2027.”
However, speaking via a statement on Sunday, Eze warned Okocha to desist from smearing Amaechi’s name.
He insisted that the former chairman’s paymasters have been working hard to make Amaechi a subject of lampoon through smear campaigns and defamatory insinuations.
The APC chieftain argued that insecurity, unemployment and hike in food prices are the forces that would push Tinubu out of office in 2027.
He said, “The cascade of administrative ineptitude, policy summersaults and multi-layer corruption that has fanned the embers of hyper-unemployment, insecurity, food price hike and more form a veritable mountain of weapons with which Nigerians are armed to fight and oust Tinubu from office in 2027.”
“It is even foolish for a mere mortal like Okocha to be talking about 2027, three years away from today, when no one is sure of the next minute of his life; like the Bible said in James 4:14 ….”
Furthermore, Eze urged Okocha and his irks to consult Tinubu and those who formed APC to ascertain who truly is the leader of APC in Rivers and South South, noting that at the formation of APC, Tinubu was made the National Leader of APC, while Amaechi emerged South South leader.
He admonished Okocha and those allegedly sponsoring him to “be concerned about the fact that the country once known as Africa’s giant has collapsed in all facets under the nose of Tinubu, and channel energy towards fashioning out solutions, if they have any, to the gamut of problems they have created impeding Nigeria’s progress.”
Eze accused Okocha of mobilizing a paid-protest in support of Tinubu which gulped over fifty million Naira without any effect, after his ouster by the court in order to remain in the good book of his paymasters and continually curry their cheers.
