Amaechi Not Regretting His APC Membership, Says Eze

A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, said the immediate-past Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi, has no regrets of being a member of the party.

Eze, who stated this in a statement made available to newsmen in Port Harcourt on Monday, was reacting to a social media report alleging that Amaechi was regretting joining the APC and would be glad to rejoin the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), if approached.

He described the media report as a piece of falsehood earlier concocted and peddled by mischief makers and now recycled by those he called some media irritants prompted by hate campaigners to smear the reputation of the former minister.

“Ordinarily, I wouldn’t have responded to this deliberate but yet another concocted false narrative by one faceless paper tiger, who always deceptively tag himself as Mr. Ibe.

“However, I am bound to react because these series of media attacks are pointers to the fact that Amaechi is a pragmatic political czar, visionary, team player and a force to reckon with as far as genuine democratic governance and leadership in Nigeria are concerned.

“For those of us in the Amaechi camp, we perceive those peddling these lies aimed at casting aspersion on the person of our principal, as those struggling to overcome the fear-of-unknown syndrome.

“Amaechi’s silence for more than a year in the political scheme of things in this country has caused sleepless nights, unimaginable fear and palpable tension to his detractors. You must not play mind game with falsehood or drag Amaechi’s reputation to the mud because you see him as a potential threat in the buildup to the next political dispensation,” the APC chieftain said.

He added that “Amaechi has been vocal about the troubling ineptitude and docile posture of the APC-led Federal Government over the hostile economic situation in the country, apparently reinforced by the thoughtless policies of the administration which have successfully driven Nigeria into its present hapless fate and have continued progressively, to commandeer the people deeper and deeper into abject poverty.”
