Erstwhile National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New People’s Democratic Party, nPDP, Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze has reminded Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, that the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, he is allegedly trying to destroy, was the brainchild of Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
Eze said it was condemnable that Wike could publicly attack
Atiku while boasting of his capacity to fight those he called his enemies.
Recall that Wike, while addressing his followers and members
of his faction of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, at the weekend, lambasted
Atiku Abubakar, a former Vice President and the presidential candidate of PDP
in the 2023 general elections.
Wike, among other things, said that Nigerians rejected Atiku
at the polls.
Eze said it was disappointing that someone could make such
comments about Atiku, whom he described as a detribalised Nigerian and
politician of class.
“I read with misgiving the recent shocking statement
credited to Wike at an event he organised for his outgone misguided lawmakers
that Nigerians rejected former Vice President Atiku Abubakar.
“That statement coming from somebody I see as one of the
beneficiaries of the PDP political platform is an affront to Atiku, Nigeria’s
foremost mobiliser, democrat, philanthropist, and detribalised politician.
“Maybe the Rivers-born [politician] is ignorant or seems to
have forgotten that one of the fundamental characteristics of politics is that
there is no permanent enemy but permanent interest,” Eze said in a statement he
made available to the media on Monday.
He reminded Wike that the PDP he is working assiduously day
and night to drag into extinction is the brainchild of Atiku Abubakar.
“As much as the FCT Minister may not know how the PDP was
midwifed into existence prior to the 1999 general elections, the uncontroverted
fact remains that Atiku was instrumental to the election of the first President
under PDP, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo,” he said.
