Amaechi’s Man Taunts Abe Over Alleged Failed Deal With Wike

By Editor

Chief Chukwuemeka Eze, a close associate of Rotimi Amaechi, the immediate past governor of Rivers State and minister of transportation has taunted former Senator Magnus Abe over his failure to get slots in the new cabinet of Governor Nyesom Wike.

Eze in a statement issued on Tuesday describes the failure of Wike to give Abe five slots in the new cabinet as the betrayal of an agreement between both men.

Senator Abe had, however, denied any such agreement between himself and Wike describing it as the mischief of his rivals in the All Progressives Congress, APC.

Eze who is the alter ego of Amaehci in the statement issued on Tuesday alleges that Wike offered Abe one commissioner slot and two special advisers position in the cabinet against what he claims as five commissioner positions supposedly agreed between the two.

He said:

“The refusal by Governor Nyesom Wike to fulfill the agreement of five commissioners and ten special advisers slots to Senator Magnus Abe after all that he sacrificed to give Wike the second term in office as the Executive Governor of Rivers State has been described as unjust, unacceptable, an act of ungratefulness and wicked betrayal.

“Senator Abe didn’t only deliver on his part of the bargain by ensuring that the APC didn’t field any candidate for the 2019 general elections, but exceeded his mandate by ensuring that all the Ogonis fielded by other political parties as either as Gubernatorial candidates or Deputy governorship candidates were dismantled before the elections accordingly. 

“The case of the sad strategy adopted to frustrate the African Action Congress’ (AAC) deputy governorship, Akpo Bomba Yeeh, an Ogoni man before the election, simply showed the genius of Senator Abe in mischievous politics. Frustrating Action Party, whose deputy governorship candidate, Mr. Precious Baridoo, and the Social Democratic Party’s (SDP) Christopher Udume, who are also both from the Ogoni, was a child’s play in the politics of Wike and Abe to ensure that the opposition didn’t have any footing in the politics of Rivers state.

“All these keep me wondering how a man who took all these risks to clear the political roads and obstacles for Governor Wike to emerge as Governor of Rivers State couldn’t be compensated accordingly and the five slots of commissioners promised him not be fulfilled. Anyways, I want to assure Senator Abe and his misguided cohorts that I will not rest until he obtains justice, no matter the odds.

Eze said he commended Abe for allegedly rejecting the one slot of commissionership and two advisers that Governor Wike allegedly gave him instead of the agreed five commissioner slots, saying “I support him wholeheartedly in this regard and collectively we can struggle to ensure that he gets what is due to him, no matter whatever game the governor will come up with.”
