Rivers APC: Why Abe Is Afraid Of Fresh Congress.....Eze
 |
| AMAECHI, APC SOUTH-SOUTH LEADER |
….. Blames the NWC of the Party of the Excesses and Profligacy of Abe.
"For Abe to claim not to understand a simple
directive by the APC Leader to APC members, to go and prepare for congresses,
simply demonstrate that Abe has other plans up his sleeves. The Minister never
meant he has usurped the functions of the National Working Committee of the
party, whose responsibility it is to organise congresses, but to prepare members
to be ready whenever the national leadership of the party decides to organise
the congresses”.
Senator
Magnus Abe's recent negative reaction to the call for fresh congresses to
reposition the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, coupled with
his boys negative articles and statements in the Social Media aimed at
maligning the person and personality of the Minister has been described as unfortunate,
sad and heartbreaking.
A
chieftain of the APC in the South-South region of the country, Chief Eze
Chukwuemeka Eze, in a statement issued and circulated in Port Harcourt on
Tuesday, also noted that Senator Abe's reaction was an indicator to his intents
for the party, even as it further showed that those who were afraid of the
party's clout and sponsors of Senator Abe's alleged anti-party activities
before, during and after last general elections, are still at work.
It
would be recalled that the acclaimed leader of the APC in the South-South
region and Minister of Transportation, Dr Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi, had recently
called for fresh congresses to reposition and prepare the party in Rivers State
for future challenges. Senator Abe had reportedly maintained an antagonistic
position to the call.
However,
Eze, in his statement, expressed shock at the position of the former senator,
wondering why a man who ought to have been remorseful and working through all
channels to redeem himself, working with Amaechi and other leaders of the
party, to remedy the damages his actions, in collaboration with internal and
external adversaries of the party, had inflicted on the party, is still
unrepentant and fighting to wreck the party structures further. This is very
unfortunate, shameful and unacceptable.
"After
Abe and his cohorts collaborated with both external and internal forces to see
to it that the APC did not field candidates for the 2019 general elections, and
instead of being apologetic, he is still maintaining that APC should not exist
in Rivers State by rejecting the conduct of congresses in the State.
"For
Abe to claim not to understand a simple directive by the APC Leader to APC members,
to go and prepare for congresses, simply demonstrate that Abe has other plans
up his sleeves. The Minister never meant he has usurped the functions of the
National Working Committee of the party, whose responsibility it is to organise
congresses, but to prepare members to be ready whenever the national leadership
of the party decides to organise the congresses.
"This
act by Abe shows that those sponsoring him are desperate to ensure that APC
doesn't exist in Rivers State just to execute their impossible 2023 plots and
ensure that Rivers State only operates a one political system", he said.
Eze
urges the former Senator to prepare for the Congresses if his claims of being
very popular among our people is anything to go by but he is aware that his
popularity only exists within Television Houses and birthday events as most of
the people supporting him hitherto have all gone back to PDP where they worked
for only left with handful of attention seekers.
He,
however, blamed the National Working Committee of the party for not calling Abe
to order after seeing all harms that he singldhandely wrecked to disgrace the
party in the state, adding that to permit him to cause further havoc on the
party will be most unfortunate and unacceptable.
In
this regard, he appealed to the NWC of the party to, as a matter of urgency,
set up a committee to organise congresses in the State, saying "we can't
continue to operate without a party structure in the State and to Abe, I plead
with him to reconsider his plots and and shame our detractors who never meant
any good for Rivers State and her progress".
Eze
counseled and further pleaded with Abe and his misguided cohorts and sponsors
to assist and collaborate with the main stream of APC to sustain peace in
the State nothing that they will not have their way this time around as the
party is ready to ensure that the APC structure in Rivers State is not only put
in place but repositioned to reclaim its rightful place in the politics of
Nigeria. Besides they should note that no one member or group within the
party can stop the conduct of a Congress approved by the National Executive
Council (NEC), on the request of a State chapter no matter the odds. They
succeeded last time but this time around every machinery have been put in place
to tackle them accordingly.
He
aligned with the Leader of APC in South-South to urge members of the party to
gear up and prepare for a peaceful Congresses accordingly.
