Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, a close ally to Chibuike Amaechi, has warned Edo North Senator, Adams Oshiomole to desist from attacking the former Minister of Transformation and former vice president, Atiku Abubakar.
DAILY POST reported that Oshiomhole, who was on Channels TV programme “Politics Today”, called Amaechi ‘the most terrible’ and accused him of mismanaging the rail system during his ministerial tenure.
Oshiomhole had wondered why Amaechi had to construct a train track to Niger Republic while his own State, Rivers, had none.
The former governor of Edo State also faulted Amaechi’s contribution in the victory of the APC in 2015.
However, in a statement on Thursday, Eze said Oshiomole and his irks in the APC were currently finding their bile rising at the thoughts of the imminent defeat.
According to Eze, the gross incompetence of President Bola Tinubu had seen the country drift into the abyss.
“Oshiomhole is one of those who, by their penchant, should be behind bars if the systems were working in Nigeria, but instead, he’s currently serving as one of the puppet Senators of Bola Ahmed Tinubu, just to evade prosecution,” Eze’s statement said.
“Amaechi speaks truth to power because he has no cockroach hidden in his cupboard.
“And so people like Oshiomhole should bury their heads in shame when the likes of Amaechi are making patriotic efforts to liberate the country,” he said.
Eze, a former National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New Peoples Democratic Party, nPDP, said Amaechi believed in due process and non-violence and must be respected for sticking on the right thing at all times.
He called on Oshiomhole to take his bile elsewhere, stressing that Amaechi would not give him the attention he seeks, being preoccupied with issues of national concern and the liberation project for Nigeria.
Eze stressed that Amaechi has no regret reviving and revolutionising the hitherto moribund rail system in Nigeria and that his blueprint for the development of the rail subsector in the South South, South East through to the North East is still being followed and executed albeit selectively and sluggishly by the present Minister of Transportation.
On why the judiciary was shut down during the Amaechi tenure, Eze advised Oshiomhole to go and acquaint himself with the facts.
“That was when his friend Wike wanted to use five lawmakers to impeach a sitting governor contrary to the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria,” Eze explained.
“Oshiomhole should go and hide his face for becoming the first National Chairman of a political party to be impeached by his ward for his ugly activities,” he said.
