A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze has told the ousted Caretaker Committee Chairman of Rivers APC, Tony Okocha, that Nigerians who are not satisfied with the performance of President Bola Tinubu, are the ones who will vote him out in 2027, and not former Minister, Chibuike Amaechi.
Eze, who stated this in a statement in reaction to the comments credited to Okocha that Amaechi plans to use Rivers APC to fight Tinubu in 2027, noted that issues like “unemployment, insecurity, food price hike” will determine who Nigerians will vote for in 2027.
Okocha, who was removed as APC Chairman and replaced with Chief Emeka Beke, was recently quoted as saying that, “There is an intention to throw up Amaechi’s man and then he (Amaechi) becomes the APC leader and then uses the party to fight Mr President in 2027.”
Eze said that it is not right for Okocha to be talking about 2027, three years from now, when no one is sure of the next minute of his life, urging Okocha to find out who truly is the leader of the APC in Rivers and South South.
He admonished Okocha and those allegedly sponsoring him to “be concerned about the fact that the country once known as Africa’s giant has collapsed in all facets under the nose of Tinubu, and channel energy towards fashioning out solutions, if they have any, to the gamut of problems they have created impeding Nigeria’s progress.”
Eze accused Okocha of mobilizing a paid-protest in support of Tinubu which gulped over fifty million Naira without any effect, after his ouster by the court in order to remain in the good book of his paymasters and continually curry their cheers.
