Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, the former National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New Peoples Democratic Party (nPDP) and chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, has praised Rivers women for rejecting Ibok-Ete Ibas, the state administrator’s wife.

Eze gave Rivers State women credit for organizing a walkout against the only administrator’s wife.

According to ZINGTIE, numerous ladies bravely staged a walkout against Mrs. Theresa Ibas, the wife of the state’s only administrator, whom they referred to as a stranger, during the ongoing women’s empowerment program at the EUI Center in Port Harcourt.

A now-famous video of the demonstration that has gone viral on social media shows the women leaving the venue in large numbers as they show their support for Siminalayi Fubara, the embattled governor of Rivers State.

According to Eze, their conduct indicates to the world that Rivers State is not a conquered state—that the state still has people who can stand against injustice.

“The walkout has nothing to do with either Senator Tinubu, the First Lady, but is a demonstration against the wickedness being meted out to Rivers State and her people,” Eze noted.

He added, “What these great women did reminds me of the events of 1929 when the British were in charge of Nigeria. The foreigners told the women they would have to start paying a tax to run their stalls.

“The women staged a traditional protest involving dancing and chanting to fight against the tax being imposed.

“Their protest was successful, and they did not have to pay the tax. I am very convinced that with what these women have done, Governor Sim Fubara will soon be restored to his office without further hesitation.”

Eze reiterated that the whole premise of emergency rule and, notably, the suspension of the governor is targeted at the common patrimony of the Rivers people.

The chieftain of the APC stated, “Clearly, the whole gimmick is a power play aimed at currying undue political advantage ahead of 2027, with the common patrimony of Rivers people at risk.”

He argued that it is now abundantly evident to anyone who have doubted that President Tinubu suspended the governor not because of insecurity as was alleged, but rather in order to gain control of Rivers State politics and grab the people’s shared heritage.

“If the President had an atom of sincerity, he should have taken drastic measures to restore order in states like Edo, Benue, Zamfara, Plateau, Borno, etc.,” he said.

Eze claimed, “They heard Governor Sim Fubara left over ₦250 billion in Government House, and they want to collect and share it among themselves before calling him to come back.”
