As the political crisis rocking Rivers State degenerates, former National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New Peoples Democratic Party and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has said the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike ignored his counsel.
Eze said the law of nature is at work against Wike, who is currently in a battle over who controls Rivers State with Governor Siminialayi Fubara.
Eze, in a statement on Saturday, hinted that it is the law of retributive justice working against the former Rivers governor.
He recalled that in 2014, Wike supported five lawmakers led by Evans Bipi to sack 27 lawmakers loyal to Amaechi, then governor of Rivers State and elected Bipi as Speaker and today five lawmakers have sacked 27 of their colleagues loyal to him.
“When I told him that whatever you sow will come after you he ignored my counsel”, Eze said.
He further recalled that in 2018, when the then Zamfara State governor, Bello Matawalle, defected from PDP to APC, Wike was threatening fire and brimstone that he should vacate his office in line with the constitution.
Eze added that Wike used the same strategy on Dr David Umahi of Ebonyi State and his Cross Rivers State counterpart, Ben Ayade when they defected from PDP to APC.
“The constitution is clear and the law must be adhered to and going by that, the decampees have lost their seats at the state legislature, it happened in Cross Rivers State; so all the noise about the ex-lawmakers in Rivers State is a noise of no value,” the APC chieftain said.
Eze said after losing the PDP presidential ticket, Ganduje had gone on to ensure that Wike was sent back to the classroom of practical politicking to learn the rudiments.
He said, “He has been tricked into thinking that he handed over Rivers State APC to him by wrongly dissolving the Rivers State Chapter and appointing some Wike’s loyalists as Caretaker Committee.
“By doing so, Ganduje has created the opportunity to deal a heavy blow to the former Rivers governor and his type of politics, whereas it was a mere ploy to drown him in the deep ocean of politics.”
Eze commended Chief of Staff to President Tinubu, Rt Hon Femi Gbajabiamila, for turning “Wike into an unlearned comedian, poor cook, unskilled dancer and untalented entertainer.”
