A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has stated that the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, is a threat to Nigeria’s democracy.
Speaking via a statement, he applauded the expulsion of the minister from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Eze was reacting to the conduct of the PDP national convention held in Ibadan, where the party expelled Wike and others from the PDP over anti-party activities.
He congratulated the PDP on the steps taken so far in reviving the party, adding that the rebirth of the main opposition party is a significant blow to President Bola Tinubu’s alleged one-party-state agenda.
The APC chieftain urged former Senate President, Bukola Saraki, former Jigawa State governor, Sule Lamido, and Jerry Gana to reject Wike.
He said, “I congratulate genuine leaders of PDP for the successful conduct of the Ibadan elective convention.
“In spite of the unpatriotic efforts of anti-party forces and undemocratic elements led by Minister Nyesom Wike to thwart the convention, the will of God prevailed.
“Wike and his foot soldiers, apparently on a mission for the APC to annihilate the PDP and other opposition parties, forgot it was the same party that moulded and shaped their political portfolio and relevance in contemporary Nigeria.
“Will history be kind and fair to Wike and his loyalists, as they work round the clock to bring down a party that made them what they are today. Certainly, the answer is capital NO.
“Not minding that we are no longer members of the party we laboured to float, however, as a democrat and patriotic Nigerian, it will be stupid of me to stand aloof and allow evil forces to obliterate a party they didn’t know how it was formed.
“Therefore, I am fully in support of the expulsion of Wike, Ayo Fayose, Senator Samuel Anyanwu, Umar Bature, Adeyemi Ajibade (SAN), Mohammed Abdulrahman, Senator Mao Ohuabunwa, Austine Nwachukwu, Abraham Amah, George Turner, and Chief Dan Orbih, for anti-party activities and fostering disunity with series of litigation against the interests of the party.”
