*Dares FCT Minister to Author a Book on Politics without Mentioning Predecessor
“…..I dare Wike to author a book on his forays in politics. I will publicly kneel down and apologize to Wike on national television, if Amaechi’s name does not feature prominently in the publication..”

A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, and former National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New Peoples Democratic Party (nPDP), Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has claimed that the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Barr. Nyesom Wike is ungrateful to Rotimi Amaechi, whom he described as his political benefactor.
Chief Eze, in a statement at the weekend reacted to a recent claim by Barrister Nyesom Wike, that the former Rivers State Governor, and immediate past Transportation Minister, Rt. Hon. (Barr.) Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi has become “a shadow of himself” in Nigeria’s political terrain.
The party chieftain dropped the bombshell as he reminded Wike that Amaechi “is far too refined in all ramifications to condescend so low to join issues with him.”
“Amaechi is too decent, religious and civilized to stoop low to banter words with Wike…, he said, while also alleging that, “Based on Wike’s antecedents and crude-styled politics, majority of Nigerians know him as ingratitude and betrayer personified. He wants everybody to bow before him.
“Is there any basis to compare Amaechi to Wike? Certainly no. Amaechi made Wike his Chief of Staff, and also nominated him as a Minister before paving way for him to become Rivers State Governor.
“The records are there; honestly, Wike can never in his lifetime, no matter his insults, blackmail and position today, attempt to alter, delete or even surpass Amaechi’s father-figure role in his political career.”
The ADC stalwart also claimed that Wike is being tolerated by the All Progressives Congress and President Bola Tinubu because of his nuisance value in rocking the boat he cruised to political limelight.
“Today, both the APC, President Tinubu and his undemocratic eggheads are aware of Wike’s nuisance value and that is the reason they are tolerating his excesses.
“Wike climbed the rungs of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ladder to where he is today. Yet, the same man, true to his nature, connived with the APC leaders to destroy the PDP for egocentric reasons, Eze alleged.
Continuing, the erstwhile spokesperson of the defunct nPDP observed that, “Contrary to Wike’s claim that he is more powerful than Amaechi, by saying that “he is not even fit in his wildest dreams to untie the strap of Amaechi’s sandals talk less of wearing it,” and arguing further that, “On what way is Wike better than Amaechi?”
Eze maintained that no matter what, “Amaechi will always remain Wike’s boss, soul provider and path finder till eternity”.
He equally wondered why Wike will think he is better than Amaechi, after destroying all that the former Transportation Minister under the Muhammadu Buhari administration had built while serving as Governor of Rivers State.
“All Amaechi’s feats in education, agriculture, health sectors etc in Rivers State were destroyed by the Wike’s administration due to selfishness…
Eze reminded Wike that he has virtually insulted and bitten all the fingers that fed him on his way to political limelight.
“Who is it that made you that you have not insulted; Is it Dr. Peter Odili and his wife, or former President Goodluck Jonathan and his wife who imposed you on Rivers State as Governor that you have not insulted or is it the PDP that you didn’t know how it was formed, that today you have made a toilet tissue paper, he queried.
Eze, therefore dared Wike to publish his bibliography, vowing to publicly kneel down and apologize to Wike on national television, if Amaechi’s name does not feature prominently in the publication.
“I dare Wike to author a book on his forays in politics. I will publicly kneel down and apologize to Wike on national television, if Amaechi’s name does not feature prominently in the publication, Eze vowed.
“Wike cannot write a book without mentioning the role of Amaechi in his life. If he dared to do so, then, he would have packaged a litany of lies, lies and lies…
Meanwhile, the ADC Chieftain has restated that Tinubu will be voted out because of the likes of Wike in his government, whom he alleged contributed immensely in delivering “record bad democratic governance to Nigerians. ”
Eze quoted the FCT Minister’s recent remarks as having boasyed boasted thus: “Again, I have to remind Rotimi Amaechi of reality…
“He is now a shadow of himself. He was once a governor; I defeated him from outside.
“He became a minister and was treated like a son to Muhammadu Buhari.
“Even with the backing of almost all the battalions in the Army, I still defeated him in my second term.
“I singlehandedly installed the same boy misbehaving today as governor—and still, Amaechi could do nothing.”
Following the remarks attributed to Wike, Eze described the minister’s outbursts as that of “a drowning man who have lost all the organs of reasoning.”
