A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has taken a swipe at the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, following a recent interview by his Senior Special Assistant on Public Communications, Lere Olayinka.
During the interview, Olayinka had amongst other things, said the presidential interest of former Vice President Atiku Abubakar is the crux of the internal crisis within the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
Eze described Wike’s stance as a false perception, grossly illogical and contrary to established facts on the matter.
“I make bold to tell Wike that his attack on Atiku is irrational, fallacious and a mere expression of prideful spite, occasioned by hallucination and Atikuphobia,” Eze said in a statement on Monday.
Eze, a member of the APC Legacy Projects Media Team, said Wike’s recent attack on Atiku did not come as a surprise to him in the sense that Nigerians are in the know that Wike is playing to the gallery to remain in the good books of President Bola Tinubu.
“From the standpoint of objectivity and truth, not a few Nigerians view Wike as a self-styled despot and dictator, who always want the buck to terminate at his table,” he added.
“If Wike were to be a good man, peace-loving and a progressive democrat, he would not have been fighting Siminalaye Fubara, a man voted by the people of Rivers State to govern them.
“If I were Fubara, the Governor of Rivers, Wike will only step into the State at his own risk.
“After ruling for 8 years… Wike doesn’t want his fellow man to rule except Fubara governs under his whims and caprices. It’s too bad, annoying and nauseating for Nigerians to believe a man like Wike.
“The former Rivers State Governor… is in fact, the architect of the protracted crisis undermining the PDP due to his selfish agenda…
“As a result of selfishness and fear of the unknown, Wike a card carrying PDP member is in deed and in action, a member of the ruling APC.
“From Wike’s time as a local government chairman, Rotimi Amaechi’s Chief of Staff, Minister of Education (State), and Governor of Rivers State, Atiku never destroyed PDP. It is the PDP that gave Wike the platform to become what he is today. If anybody had destroyed PDP, would Wike be anything in Nigeria’s political terrain today? Certainly no.
“At this juncture, I urge Wike to shelve his political underhand schemes targeted at Atiku as they are dead on arrival and will only lead him to political dungeon.”
