“Wike Has Been Causing Unrest, Violence In Rivers Since 2015, Lacks Integrity To Criticise Others” – APC Chieftain

A fresh wave of political tension has emerged in Rivers State following allegations by FCT Minister Nyesom Wike against his predecessor, Chibuike Amaechi.

Wike had claimed Amaechi deliberately orchestrated unrest in the state while serving as Minister of Transportation, a statement that has since triggered swift backlash.

Reacting on Tuesday, APC chieftain Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze dismissed Wike’s claims as baseless and accused the minister of distorting facts to serve personal interests.

Eze, known for his close association with Amaechi, questioned Wike’s moral standing to cast aspersions on the former governor’s record.

He described the FCT Minister as someone who thrives on manipulation and crisis.

In a scathing attack, he alleged that Wike, not Amaechi, was the architect of violence during his own administration in Rivers, often employing unregulated forces to push political agendas.

Eze further accused Wike of lacking the integrity to criticize others, especially given the controversial events that marred the 2015 general elections in the state.

According to him, Wike used security operatives and non-state actors to intimidate political opponents and suppress dissent.

“The records of how he used Mr. Mbu Joseph Mbu, the infamous Rivers Police Commissioner whom he later deserted and left to rot in his foolishness, to cause havoc in Rivers State and make the environment ungovernable are there already placed before the world,” Eze stated.
