A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, in Rivers State, Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has condenmed the alleged plot to impeach Governor Siminalayi Fubara.
In a statement he made he available to reporters in Port
Harcourt on Tuesday, the former National Publicity Secretary of the defunct new
Peoples Democratic, nPDP, also noted that by supporting the minister of the
Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, President Bola Tinubu has lost the
support of Niger Deltans.
Eze alleged that the protracted political crisis in Rivers
state has continued unabated because the FCT Minister is being supported by
Tinubu.
“Wike with the support of the Presidency is championing the plot to impeach Governor Fubara, in order to install Amaewhule, as governor.
“Obviously, Wike is capitalizing on his unholy political
marriage to Tinubu to destabilize Rivers State and distract Governor Fubara,
solely to ensure that their stooge, Amaewhule becomes governor to enable them
rig the 2027 general elections in Rivers State,” Eze alleged in his statement.
“Sadly, for Tinubu and Wike, these evil and undemocratic
plots to remove Fubara from office will not only fall like a pack of cards but
will rather strengthen and energize Fubara in his concerted efforts to rescue
the state from the shackles of vandals parading themselves as lawmakers.
“I have counselled President Tinubu from the beginning that
his romance with Wike will not only destroy APC as a political party but will
stain his political career as a democrat,” Eze said.
He explained that the plot to impeach or remove Fubara from
the Brick House will not see the light of the day in view of the fact that
Tinubu and those supporting Wike may not know much about Rivers State politics,
which he said is divided amongst two blocks – the upland and riverine axis.
“It may interest the public to note that the upland axis of
the state has through Dr. Peter Odili, Rt. Hon. Barr Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi,
and Chief Nyesom Wike governed Rivers State for 24 years, while the riverine
axis through Sir Fubara is just governing the state,” he added.
The APC stalwart maintained that disrupting and bringing the
administration of Fubara to an abrupt end amounts to subjugation of the Ijaw
nation and other riverine ethnic nationalities.
“It is height of political insensitivity to humiliate an
Ijaw governor out of office because of one man’s sheer greed and dictatorial
tendencies,” he said.
Eze warned that the present plot to impeach the first
riverine governor and replacing him with another upland person is simply asking
for calamity for the state.
The APC chieftain admonished Amaewhule and his colleagues to
wake up from their fantasy, and stop making mockery of the serious agenda of
lawmaking.
“Amaewhule and his bandwagon of defectors lack what it takes
to order a sitting governor around. They have called Fubara unprintable names
and abused him publicly, not knowing that they are denigrating and desecrating
the office of governor of Rivers State,” Eze added.
“If Wike is still the governor of Rivers State, can anybody
try what he is doing to Fubara? Can he stomach this political crisis? If not
that Fubara is a peace loving man, amiable, wise, humane, respectful and easy
going man, Wike and the Presidency would have seen what fire does to the ears
of a rat,” Eze said.
DAILY POST reported that Fubara had reached out to the
Amaewhule-led lawmakers for a truce which they rebuffed.
Reacting on the attitude of the lawmakers, Eze said they
should stop playing God and acting as if Rivers State can not move forward with
out them.
“It is ominous and inauspicious behaviour; an affront on the
highly reverred office of the governor of Rivers State, for the lawmakers to
shun a peaceful invitation by Governor Fubara for a meeting,” he said.
Fubara had extended a formal invitation to Amaewhule and the
others to discuss and iron out ways to resolve the political imbroglio.
Eze described the invitation for a meeting as a “political
masterstroke strategy” stressing that by refusing to honour the invitation, the
world now knows that the lawmakers are very determined to undermine the peace
of Rivers State.
