How Gov. Wike, Abe Are Using Witchcraft To Hinder Amaechi’s Re-appointment

Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, an All Progressives Congress, APC chieftain has aid there are some campaigns of calumny by the Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike and a former Rivers lawmaker, Senator Magnus Abe aimed at de-marketing the immediate past Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi.

According to him, the campaigns are just a total waste of time and effort.

Eze further described the campaigns as ‘acts of witchcraft, diabolical, wicked, unjust and unacceptable’.

He alleged that the governor was sponsoring some negative media campaigns aimed at the former Minister and the immediate past Senator representing Rivers South-East Senatorial District, Senator Magnus Abe.

According to Eze, Abe and Wike were trying to force President Buhari’s hand against re-appointing Amaechi.

He, however, described all these efforts as “acts of witchcraft, diabolical, wicked, unjust and unacceptable, noting that Amaechi, by his patriotic zeal and commitment for a new Nigeria, merits to be reappointed into the yet-to-be constituted cabinet of President Muhammad Buhari.

“Besides the fact that Amaechi served as the Director General of the Buhari Presidential Campaigns, a role he had previously played in 2015 and happily delivered on both mandates as the President won his re-election in February, coupled with the revolution that he brought into the rail system in Nigeria, he has beaten his enemies to their game.

“He has performed creditably well in the transportation ministry; the former minister completed some ongoing railway projects like the Kaduna-Abuja road, the Abuja rail, and Warri-Itakpe rail. The Lagos-Ibadan railway will be completed early next year and for continuity, which has been one of the hallmarks of President Buhari’s administration, Amaechi’s nomination is a foregone conclusion.

“Assuming all that Amaechi achieved on behalf of Nigeria and President Buhari do not guarantee his renomination, then the acceptance by majority of Nigerians that Amaechi was not only the best minister in the immediate past federal executive cabinet but the most outstanding among his colleagues, which they indicated in the various media surveys, will ensure his nomination.

“If merit and position of a majority of Nigerians will not earn Amaechi a renomination, then the spiritual angle to his political career will come to play. This is a man who always has a second chance in all his political career”, Eze said.

He added that “apart from all these spiritually induced appointments, he is the only African that has piloted a presidential campaign organization two consecutive times and won on the two occasions.

“With all these, it is not in the character of Amaechi not to be renominated again to serve out his second term as a minister of the Federal Republic of Nigeria”, he said.

Eze quoted Prince Zeeyan S. Kudu, a well known new breed politician as saying, “Despite our differences in politics, honestly, Amaechi is doing a wonderful job, let him keep the lamp burning he is surely going to the Next level, he is the only Minister I respected in this administration.”
