Erstwhile National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New People’s Democratic Party (nPDP) and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, says the law of nature is at work against FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, who is currently picking a fight against Rivers Governor, Siminialayi Fubara over who steers the state.
In a statement made available to the media, the party Chief hinted that it is the law of retributive justice, an old theory of justice that revolves around the idea that wrongdoers should be punished in proportion to their crimes.
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 Lawmakers loyal to him. “When I told him that whatever you sow will come after you he ignored my counsel”, Eze said.
Again, in 2018, when the then Governor of Zamfara State, Governor Bello Matawalle decmaped from PDP to APC, Wike was threatening fire and brimstone that he should vacate his office in line with the Constitution. He used the same strategy on Dr. David Umahi of Ebonyi State and his Cross Rivers State counterpart Ben Ayade when they decamped 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.
Wike has done more than enough damage to the politics of this country and this is the time to do away with his type of draconian, crude politics if the country is serious about securing the spirit of our constitution and democracy
Eze recalled when Wike was canvassing for the PDP Presidential ticket and he visited Senator Ganduje who was then Governor of Kano State, he prophetically told Wike, “You will work very hard but at the tail of your victory you will become a good Loser” Wike went ahead to lose the PDP ticket and in order to ensure that Wike is sent back to the classroom of practical politicking to learn the rudiments, he tricked him into thinking that he has handed over Rivers State APC to him by wrongly dissolving the Rivers State Chapter and appointing some none members of APC loyal to Wike as Care Taker Committee thereby creating a good opportunity to deal a heavy blow to Wike and his type of crude politics, whereas it was a mere ploy to drown him in the deep ocean of politics.
Though disgusted, Eze commended, Mr Femi Gbajabiamila, the Chief of Staff to President Tinubu for turning the self-styled mighty Wike into an unlearned comedian, poor cook, unskilled dancer and untalented entertainer. It is very unfortunate that a man who once aspired to get the ticket of a party to run for the office of the President of Nigeria should be reduced to a low-grade entertainer of no value.
I learnt that some Key Actors in the Nollywood are contemplating of adopting Wike into their industry but that will formally destroy such lucrative industry that is providing succour and means of livelihood to many nigerians because nothing is safe when Wike touches it
Though I counselled President Tinubu against hiring Wike knowing his penchant for destroying anything that is set before him; using PDP as a test case; how he retired and ruined the lives of great politicians with high prospect like the defunct G5 governors Samuel Ortom of Benue, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi of Enugu, and Okezie Ikpeazu of Abia apart from Seyi Makinde of Oyo who tricked him back to his office.
As usual, he has again, ended the promising political fortunes of 27 Lawmakers and some misguided Ex-Commissioners from Rivers State.
Eze called on Rivers people to continue to support Governor, Sim Fubara and the Assembly Speaker, Edison Ehie in their resolve to retire Wike from interfering with the common patrimony of Rivers people.
