Why Rotimi Amaechi Can’t Support Violence – Eze

A Rivers State politician and elder, Eze Chukwuemeka Eze has come out in strong defense of Rotimi Amaechi over recent allegations of sponsoring violence.

Chief Eze, an All Progressives Congress APC chieftain rubbished claims by a former Senator who represented
Rivers South-East Senatorial District at the National Assembly, Magnus Abe, linking Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi to a recent orgy of violence in the State.

In a statement received by THECONSCIENCE, Eze insisted that Rotimi Amaechi has never supported or promoted violent acts in all his political career and any attempt to link him up with what is an obvious a staged managed event in order to discredit him is surely will be an exercise in futility.

Abe had in a statement said, “The Rivers State version of Federal might was yesterday visited on Hon. Ben Horsfall and some members of the APC in Buguma City.

“This is ominous beginning to the new year in Rivers State and a clear sign of what is ahead for Rivers people…”

“Armed youths led by Mr. Ibisobebor Daminabo Wokoma, a member of the APC and an associate of Hon. Ojukaye Amachree, an acolyte of the Minister of Transportation, Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi invaded the venue of a peaceful gathering of APC members in Buguma City with dangerous weapons, inflicting serious injuries on several persons including women”.

However, Chief Eze, dismissed the claim against Nigeria’s Transportation Minister as unfounded, grossly inconsequential and a destitute of reality that merits the waste-bin.

Eze added: “Available reports from reliable sources revealed that Ben Horsefall an alley of Senator Abe hired some members of the PDP for an event and was unable to meet up with the financial obligation and this ignited a misunderstanding and altercation which eventually resulted into a fracas and nothing more.

He insisted that there was never any attack against any APC Member as Abe’s statement erroneously imputed.

He maintained that the circumstance surrounding the incidence has no connection whatsoever with the Rivers APC, Rt. Hon. Rotimi Amaechi, Ojukaye, Wokoma or any of her leaders as alleged by the ex-lawmaker Abe, a busybody who has suddenly conscripted himself into a spokesman for the Peoples Democratic Party and Gov. Wike, in a bid to justify the recent Christmas gift of a brand new multi million Naira (2020 model of the Ford Edge) vehicle and other incentives given to him by the Rivers State Governor on 25 December, 2020 and appointment of his cronies into the Sate Government Executive Council.”

Eze asked Abe, if he must descend this low in order to earn a living by attempting to disparage Amaechi who made him two time Commissioner in Rivers State, appointed him the Secretary to the Rivers State Government, SSG, and also made him two term Senator.

He said, ironically, Abe as SSG was the Chairman of Rotimi Amaechi’s Security architecture, and for him to turn around this time to link Amaechi with insecurity and violent act simply shows how low he has gone in his politics and the earlier he desists from such an unholy plots the better for us all.
