Former spokesperson for the defunct new Peoples Democratic
Party, nPDP, Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has said that the dreams of Nyesom Wike
becoming the jagaban of Rivers State is over.
He said that Wike, who is the immediate past Governor of the
State, is no longer relevant as far as the politics of Rivers State and Nigeria
at large is concerned.
He claimed that most of Wike’s antecedents were now well
known to all and sundry, adding that whoever that decides to work with him does
so at their own peril.
He informed the former Governor that Rivers can never be
Lagos, adding his recent actions bring to an end his dream and vision of
becoming the landlord of Rivers State.
In a statement on Tuesday, Eze expressed surprise that
President Bola Tinubu, a known democrat, has turned his back against the
Nigerian constitution and the good people of Rivers State, just to massage
Wike’s ego.
“With the credentials of President Tinubu, it becomes very
hard to accept that he could be involved with the undemocratic steps and
actions exhibited during the so-called Rivers State Peace Accord between
Governor Fubara and Nyesom Wike.
“It is based on this that I decided to have another look at
the so-called Peace Accord to decipher the intention of Mr. President towards
his erroneous actions,“ he said.
Eze inferred that Mr. President and his team “strategically
plotted all this not that they do not know that no reasonable Governor will
implement any of them but to rubbish Nyesom Wike in his own plot to become
Tinubu of Rivers State.”
“In this regard, I must commend President Tinubu for
achieving what many political leaders couldn’t achieve by rubbishing the
political fortunes of Nyesom Wike and thereby saving Rivers State from the
nuisance that Wike has now become,” Eze said.
Eze postulated that “what we currently have in Rivers State
is nothing but graveyard peace particularly now that Rivers State Elders,
Youths and entire citizenry are fully aware that President Tinubu’s truce is
nothing but to buy over Rivers State and it will be resisted no matter the
odds.”
He added that “Wike is no longer relevant as far as the
politics of Rivers State and Nigeria at large is concerned as most of his
antecedents are now well known to all and sundry and whoever that decides to
work with such a character does so at his or her own peril.
“This brings to and end his dream and vision of becoming the
landlord and Jagaban of Rivers State. Rivers State cannot and will never be
Lagos.”
