Tinubu’s supporters in Rivers APC discrediting Amaechi – Eze

An All Progressives Congress (APC) chieftain in Rivers, Chukwuemeka Eze, has accused some supporters of President-elect Bola Tinubu of discrediting Rotimi Amaechi.

Eze said in an attempt to impress Tinubu, “schemers” had embarked on a campaign against the former governor and immediate past Minister of Transportation.

In a statement on Wednesday, he noted that insinuations that the Rivers APC has been fragmented into factions “is not wholly true”.

Eze accused Tony Okocha, “self-styled Coordinator, South-South, of Bola Tinubu Vanguard” of promoting falsehood on social media.

“Okocha has been parading himself as leader of the Rivers APC with the careless claim that he delivered the APC Presidential candidate in Rivers State,” he said.

Eze wondered why Okocha was arrogating to himself the leadership of a party “which membership he holds not and against which he worked in the March 18 governorship polls”.

On the allegation of anti-party activities Amaechi, Eze insists such only exists “in the figment of the imagination of the schemers who are only working to curry relevance in the Tinubu’s camp”.

He advised the public to focus on the “troubling situation” in Rivers, where a “glaring usurpation of democracy” was done by “a desperado who wants to remain in power by proxy”.

The APC member added that the wishes of the people were suppressed with the “illegal support of the police force and the electoral umpire through bribery to commit electoral fraud”.
