Erstwhile National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New
People’s Democratic Party, nPDP, Eze Chukwuemeka Eze has blamed Atiku Abubakar
and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP for failing to expel former Rivers State
Governor, Nyesom Wike from the party before the election.
Eze said it is obvious that the PDP failed to listen to his
counsel, thereby allowing the former Governor to have his way to the detriment
of the party.
According to the APC chieftain, the judgement of the Federal
High Court which reaffirmed that the Party has the powers to discipline erring
members in line with the provisions of extant laws, confirmed the validity of
his counsel when, prior to the elections, he asked the PDP to quickly and
without hesitation, expel Wike.
He noted that as of then, Wike had perfected plans to manipulate the elections in favour of his selfish agenda against the flag-bearer of his own party.
Recall that delivering judgement last week, in a suit filed
on February 2, by Wike through his Lawyer, Joshua Musa SAN, Justice James
Omotosho made it clear, having considered the processes filed by parties and
the arguments of counsel, that the party had the right to suspend or expel its
members.
He, however, maintained that such action must be taken in
compliance with the party’s own laws. This was after the former Governor,
before the 2023 general elections, sought a court order to stop the PDP from
taking action against him without a fair hearing,
But Eze, an ally to the former Minister of Transportation,
Chibuike Amaechi, said he has worked closely with both Atiku and Wike to
predict the actions and intentions of the duo.
He said that after Wike failed to clinch the PDP Presidential
ticket he(Eze] did a memo to Atiku, warning him to keep the then Rivers
Governor at bay and go for then Delta Governor Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa as his running
mate.
After Atiku announced Okowa as a running mate and Wike
started displaying his pettiness which clearly portended grave danger to the
party, Eze said he freely offered counsel to Atiku and the leadership of the
PDP to quickly slam him with a suspension or better still expel him to save the
party the bitter embarrassment he was wont to cause, “but stakeholders didn’t
act on the advice as they thought Wike would somehow along the line show a
sense of genuine repentance through dialogue,” Eze said.
Eze said “All the actions of Wike together with his
misguided group are before the public domain and had PDP adhered to his
patriotic counsel and showed the jobber the way out, their party would not be
in its present state.
“With the court judgment in its favour, the PDP is still
within time to show the likes of Wike the way out and embark on a rebuilding
project to recover her losses.”
Eze said his position stems from the fact that the country
needs a very vibrant and coordinated opposition political party to critically
monitor the policies of the government and serve as a watchdog for the interest
of Nigerians.
He said it was not surprising to see Wike allegedly turning
himself into an errand boy in Aso Rock; allegedly disturbing the tranquillity
of the environment and nosing around officials of the APC government to get
considered while still deceiving himself as to still being a member of PDP.
