‘Tinubu appointed Wike as punishment for Abuja residents’ – Eze replies Bala Mohammed
Erstwhile National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New Peoples Democratic Party, nPDP, and a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has contended that President Bola Tinubu appointed Nyesom Wike as Minister of the Federal Capital Territory just to punish residents of Rivers State and the FCT for voting against him in the 2023 presidential election.
In a statement made available to the media, Eze alleged that the legacies of wickedness, administrative incompetence, general ineptitude and anti-democratic tendencies traceable to the former Rivers Governor, earned him his current position in Tinubu’s cabinet.
“Tinubu unleashed Wike, as a poisonous venom on the inhabitants of the FCT as a punishment for massively voting against him during the 2023 presidential election and for him to sustain a crisis in Rivers State to drive away investors while his Lagos State is safe for investors,” Eze alleged.
The APC chieftain was reacting to a recent assertion by Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State, who doubles as Chairman, PDP Governors Forum, that Wike was appointed FCT Minister because the APC lacks capable individuals.
Eze said the Bauchi governor’s assertion was wrong.
“I read the postulation of my friend, Governor Bala Mohammed of Bauchi State that APC borrowed Nyesom Wike and appointed him the FCT Minister because the PDP has a lot of brilliant leaders.
“Truth be told, I don’t doubt the fact that PDP has some very brilliant and credible leaders as same fact also applies to APC, but to attribute brilliance to that dented, uncultured dimwit and political nuisance called Wike is an embarrassing misnomer and unfair blunder that should not be spread abroad,” Eze said.
Eze added, “Bala’s Socratic irony is however fathomable given that Nigerians are very much aware that as a governor, Wike destroyed the structure of democracy in the state and deployed authoritarianism as the preferred model for his inglorious regime synonymous for everything antithetical to societal growth and development.
“Wike belongs to the class of leaders who are considered unfortunate developments in society and who ought not to go anywhere close to the seat of power for the despicable evil they have committed against the Nigerian State and her suffering citizenry.
“Wike is playing a dangerous politics that negates the principles of democracy, thereby setting a dangerous precedent in Nigeria’s political landscape. One leg in APC and one leg in PDP; and you call that politics?
“No, it’s politics of an errand boy and habitual betrayer, bereft of political ideology.
“Good thing is that we in the APC are watching him closely. He fought and insulted virtually all the PDP Governors opposed to his Presidential ambition.
“He is working clandestinely to decimate the PDP for his selfish interest and you think those of us in the APC are not mindful of his autocratic tendencies?
“So, Tinubu decided to appoint him as a Minister not because APC lacks capable people but because he needed bootlickers, vampires and political tradesmen with zero character like Wike who can manipulate and easily be manipulated. And this is one of the reasons he has succeeded in turning the APC into a laughing stock with a near-zero electoral value.”
