Rivers APC Crisis: Eze Calls Abe, “A Mole And Angent Of Destabilisation”

By Gloria Ebenezer, South-South Correspondent

A Chieftan of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State, Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has described Mr. Magnus Abe, another leader of the party in the state as, “a mole and agent of destabilisation”

Eze says Abe has volunteered himself as a willing tool in the hands of the Rivers State government and the People’s Democratic Party to weaken the APC in the state, and cousel’s the Akande Reconciliation Committee, set up by President Buhari to reconcile conflicting interests in the party, in a well articulated 20-page memorandum; to treat the Rivers State crises as unique from that of other states, if it must succeed in the onerous task ahead.

The passionate party cheiftain went on to posit that Abe’s failure to clinch APC’s guber ticket in 2014, is the genesis of the party’s crisis in Rivers State.

Confirms Aguma is a PDP tool to sustain ‘Ikwerre agenda’

Eze, who described himself as a “critical follower of events within the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State and Nigeria in general,” took time in memo, to expose the problems bedevilling the APC in the state, as well as the unrepentant perpetrators the anti-party activities.

He also congatulated the members of the committee and Nigeria’s President and leader of the APC, the country’s ruling party.

“Let me at this juncture congratulate and commend members of this historical Committee on your appointment at this period to reconcile some of the aggrieved members of our great party.

“It becomes imperative also to commend President Mohammadu Buhari, and the leadership of the APC over this inspired moves to reconcile warring factions within the chapters of the party that are having divisive and internal conflicts.

“To achieve this particularly in Rivers State, I wish to suggest to the national leadership of the Party to take a closer look at the Rivers APC crisis because its own case is different and unique.

Eze, an erstwhile National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New Peoples Democratic Party, (nPDP), further reveals that the crisis that engulfed the party in Rivers after Senator Magnus Abe failed to clinch the party’s gubernatorial ticket had worsend since he resolved to side a group of party stakeholders to sabotage the fortunes of the party during the 2015 general elections.

The party chieftain said, Abe and his coconspirators continued with their denigration of the party beyond 2015, when the group embarked on an obvious destructive mission with the determination that the party would not field any candidate during the 2019 general elections, and it so happened that APC eventually failed to present a candidate for the election.

“Not relenting in their satanic and anti people assignment, the group has once again, vowed that the party will not exist to participate in the 2023 general elections in Rivers State, reason being why they have defiled all hands on solution to the problems of the party in Rivers State, and has continued to push passionately for the extinction of the party to pave way for the opposition in state as they have done in previous elections.

“As a recompense for the success of their unholy venture and treacherous alliance with the People’s Democratic Party in Rivers State, some of them have been appointed into the Rivers State Executive Council under a PDP Government, others have formally joined PDP in droves and others have contested elective elections under PDP and won while others are in confidence, waiting for their own reward for a job well done.

Eze warned that the Akande led Reconciliation Committee may face some hurdles trying to reconcile the party with such group of persons who have done much harm, not only to the party but also the electorates who were disenfranchised, as well as key members whose desires to represent the people at the parliament and in other positions in the government were abruptly terminated.

Eze equally condemned the latest effort by one Igo Aguma, who as he alleged, is continuing in the footsteps of Abe, saying this act is “unwholesome and another grand plot to keep the party debased,” he warned.

Eze warned that if such plot succeeds, it will entail the Ikwerre ethnic Nationality governing Rivers State for 24 years to the detrement of other tribes in the state.

“Should APC play along in this devious plot by Governor Nyesom Wike, I am not sure the other tribes in Rivers State will ever forgive the leadership of the APC for such a blunder”.

He said, “the party must do everything to ensure that Aguma is stopped in his evil conspiracy and plot with the opposition to scuttle the chances of the APC fielding candidates in the next election”..

Eze who was able to meet the deadline of 10th March, 2020 for the submission of copies of the memoranda to the Committee noted that copies of his historical memorandum were also sent to President Muhammadu Buhari, the Senate President, Ahmed Lawan; the Chief of Staff, Abba Kyari; Secretary to Government of the Federation, Boss Mustpaha, and other leaders of the party and that they all have acknowledged it.
