Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, the former national publicity secretary of the now-defunct New Peoples Democratic Party (nPDP), has called recent statements made by Chibuike Ikenga, the publicity secretary of the Rivers State Chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC), which is led by Tony Okocha, as fabrications.
In a recent interview with ZINGTIE, Ikenga made several claims, including that former Rivers State Governor Chibuike Amaechi is secretly meeting with former Vice President Alh. Atiku Abubakar at odd hours in an attempt to unseat President Bola Tinubu in the 2027 elections.
In response, an APC stalwart and long-time ally of the former minister of transportation said in a statement sent to the media on Friday that it is unquestionably dishonourable to dignify Ikenga, whom he described as a jobber, but he had to because of the negative message his publicity frequently sends to the reading public.
“For the umpteen time, the High Court of Rivers State, coram Sika Aprioku, in suit No. PHC/3592/CS/2023 and PH /3835/CS/2023 respectively, ordered that Ikenga and his gang of imposters led by Tony Okocha stop parading as Caretaker Committee for the Rivers State Chapter of the APC,” Eze said.
“That judgment of court is still valid and subsisting and, in effect, stamps the leadership of Chief Emeka Beke till October 2025 when their term of office will be determined by effluxion of time.
“This clarity offers the reading public a better understanding of the status of Mr. Ikenga and the dark corner from whence he operates. In the first place, the jobber has no right whatsoever to issue any statement for and/or on behalf of the Rivers State APC, as Publicity Secretary, as he has no business with the office.
“Having established the fact that the self-acclaimed Publicity Secretary, Mr. Ikenga, is on the frolics of his own in his acts of contempt, it becomes clear that his claims against Amaechi are mere figments of his own imagination to stay afloat and curry some little relevance in the playground as a political businessman.
“Ikenga is another example of a sellout, a backbiter, backstabber, and saboteur; he traded his party’s political strategies to adversaries for personal rewards. When his clandestine ill actions against his party were brought to the fore, he denied having anything to do with the adversary and, upon being accosted with facts, he quickly resigned as leader of the party in his LGA and, a few weeks later, formally joined the opposition camp despite being one of the major beneficiaries of Amaechi’s benevolence.
Chief Eze stated that Ikenga cannot be trusted with sensitive information or positions based on his past behaviour.
“As a matter of fact, everyone has the right to freedom of association, but good morals teach that one should not bite the finger that once fed him.
“The disparaging falsehood, conspiracies, and attacks on Amaechi are just unnecessary.
“Excluding yourself from the concerns of a man is in order, but talking down on him to pull him down is bad character. Such indulgences will not earn Mr. Ikenga any political fortune.
While appealing on the public to dismiss the charges put up by Ikenga against Amaechi, Eze urged Ikenga to approach the media with facts to buttress his assertions or bury his head in shame.
Even though Ikenga had little electoral worth in his polling station, the former governor nonetheless picked him up and gave him various positions, Eze reminded him.
