A former National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New Peoples Democratic Party (nPDP), Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has issued a stern warning to the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, urging him to desist from “playing God” and attacking his former boss, Rotimi Amaechi.
Naijaonpoint reports that Eze made the remarks in a statement released on Friday, July 18, describing Wike’s recent comments as arrogant, reckless, and a reflection of a bloated ego.
Eze criticised Wike’s public commentary, claiming the FCT Minister conducts himself as though he controls the fate of his political adversaries.
He stated, “Wike blabs and yells with an overbloated ego as if he is next to God.
“If Minister Wike were a giver of life, anyone not subject to his manipulation would be dead by now.”
He further accused Wike of boasting with finality on matters only God can determine, especially in his thinly veiled jab at Amaechi during a recent event attended by Vice President Kashim Shettima.
Eze warned that Wike lacks the political capacity to determine the future of the former Minister of Transportation, whom he described as the architect of Wike’s political success.
He said, “Wike cannot retire Amaechi from politics. He lacks the political clout, sagacity, effrontery, and structure to do that.
“Amaechi will surely return to power with other democrats and progressives. You may hate, antagonise, and blackmail him, but you cannot question God’s purpose in his life.”
Coalition Beyond Amaechi – Eze warns APC, Tinubu
Eze noted that the political movement to unseat the APC in 2027 is broader than Amaechi and should not be trivialised.
“The coalition movement is not just about Amaechi. Singling him out to ridicule and attack makes no sense. It exposes Wike’s fear,” he said.
He accused Wike of engaging in a smear campaign against Amaechi and other key figures in the African Democratic Congress (ADC), warning that “we have studied all his rigging strategies and will deal with him accordingly in 2027.”
Eze also asserted that President Bola Tinubu, just like Amaechi stated, have disappointed Nigerians.
“Just like Amaechi said, President Tinubu has disappointed Nigerians,” Eze asserted.
“He is successful in every other way, but he has proven not to be a good leader. His administration has plunged Nigeria into a quagmire and hopelessness.”
Eze said the 2027 general elections would not be about party affiliations, but about Nigerians rising to reject a government that has failed to deliver.
‘Wike, Tinubu Will Face Nigerians In 2027’ – Eze insists
According to Eze, both Tinubu and Wike have earned the displeasure of Nigerians and should brace for what he described as a political reckoning.
“Certainly, Tinubu and Wike, his new attack dog, will face the wrath of Nigerians in 2027,” he said.
“No amount of vituperation will stop that.”
He added that the controversial declaration of a state of emergency in Rivers State would haunt both leaders politically.
Eze mocked Wike’s performance on Channels Television’s Politics Today, describing him as an “empty vessel. With his embarrassing outing, no sound Nigerian will ever take him seriously again.”
Eze challenged Wike over his comments during a road commissioning in Gwagwalada, where he implied that Amaechi’s political comeback was impossible.
“Because you have left office, you are angry. You said Nigerians are angry. You want to come back to power; you won’t come back,” Wike had said.
In response, Eze retorted, “I ask Wike, are you God? Is it a crime for Amaechi to declare interest in the presidency? Is it a taboo?”
He concluded by calling Wike a “funny character” who is jittery over a possible opposition alliance and urged him to “close his mouth and stop playing God.”
