A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has cautioned Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, over his comments on the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
Wike had said he will soon speak and reveal to Nigerians all that has transpired in the PDP since the emergence of Atiku as the presidential candidate of the party.
But, Eze, in a statement made available to LEADERSHIP in Port Harcourt yesterday, advised the governor to respect the vow he made during the national convention of the PDP.
He reminded Wike of his vow during the presidential primary of the PDP in Abuja, that he would fully support whoever emerged as candidate of the party to show his love and commitment to the umbrella party.
The APC chieftain stated that it was laughable for the Rivers State governor to threaten to speak and expose some recent happenings in PDP, saying that such threat does not hold water.
Eze said: “Is he going to tell us that he never wasted Rivers State funds in the wild goose chase of the PDP presidential ticket in which he was thoroughly defeated? Or is he going to tell us that he never mobilized to be appointed as the vice presidential candidate of PDP?”
“Or is Wike going to tell us that he never vowed to support whoever emerged as the PDP presidential flag-bearer? In case, he has forgotten he should listen to the video containing his speech where he thundered and vowed.
“Today anyone who emerges here I will support the person to the fullest because I am a committed party person, because I love this party, because since 1998 I have been in this party, I will work for this party, I will not go anywhere this is my party.”
Is Wike going to tell us that Atiku has no right to appoint who should be his vice president? I have counseled Wike to pipe down and accept his fate as his poor leadership, deceitful record, bad administration, past deeds and unwarranted and unguided utterances were the major factors that worked against him in not clinching the PDP presidential ticket or becoming the vice president to the PDP presidential standard bearer.”
