Erstwhile
National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New People’s Democratic Party
(nPDP) and chieftain of the ruling All Progressives Congress, Chief Eze
Chukwumeka Eze has expressed a hearty felicitation with the new national
Chairman of the APC and former Governor of Nasarawa State, Sen. Abdullahi Adamu
and other members of the substantive national executive committee for their
emergence at the party’s national convention held Saturday in Abuja.
In a statement made available to
media houses, Chief Eze commended leaders and stakeholders at all cadres and
particularly the teeming members and supporters of the party for staying strong
to weather the storm of a few disagreements instigated by the surge of
interests and pursuit of personal political ambitions by stakeholders striving
to protect their stake in the progressive union, noting that the initial rancor
was a necessary hiccup of a rebuilding process.
Congratulating the new national
Chairman, Sen. Abdullahi Adamu, and his team, Chief Eze commended the public
spirit of all the aspirants who sacrificed their ambition to ensure that the
party reaches a consensus and emerges stronger after the convention, describing
their actions as worthy sacrifices that deserves honor.
Eze describes the six aspirants
comprising of Sen. Tanko Al-Makura, Sen. George Akume, Abdulaziz Yari, Sen.
Sani Musa Muhammed, Etsu Muhammed and Malam Saliu Mustapha that stepped down
their aspirations in order for the party to have a very peaceful event as the
heroes of the National Convention that will ensure the party's success
come 2023.
Eze further reported that in a
letter addressed to the Chairman, APC Election Sub-Committee and signed by one
of the aspirants, Sen. George Akume, stated: “May I kindly refer to the appeal
by President Muhammad Buhari for the chairmanship aspirants of our great party
to agree to a consensus arrangement wherein our colleague Sen. Abdullahi Adamu
is made our consensus candidate for the chairmanship position,”
He forwarded letters of withdrawal
from Sen. Tanko Al-Makura, Sen. George Akume, Abdulaziz Yari, Sen. Sani Musa
Muhammed, Etsu Muhammed and Malam Saliu Mustapha
He berated the former Rivers
South-East Senator, Magnus Ngei Abe, for taking his insubordination and
insobriety to the convention where he tutored his ally, Worgu Boms, who aspired
for the post of National Vice Chair, South-South and scored just 3 sympathy
votes, to work contrary to the consensus arrangement of the party, as he has
always done in Rivers state and called on the former Lawmaker and his friends
to return home and make peace with the Rivers APC.
The party Chief hailed Chief
Victor Giadom, whom he described as a seasoned administrator and dogged party
man, for emerging as National Vice Chairman, South-South, assuring that with
the necessary support from stakeholders and party men, the party in the zone
will hive a sigh of relieve relying on Giadom’s wealth of experience, having
served as Acting National Secretary and later Acting National Chairman after
Oshiomhole’s ouster.
Eze recalls his press statement
where he predicted the woeful outing of Mr. Boms if he dares contest the
election. In that statement, I stated, "The fact remains if characters
like Boms who have done so much to destroy the party were elected that would
have spelled doom for the party in the zone, "The party chief appealed to
party faithful and especially convention delegates, to ensure that only the
right people in the right frame of mind, perception, mentality and most
importantly with the fear of God would emerge to lead the party to victory in
2023.
He finally appealed to delegates
to vote in Chief Victor Giadom, erstwhile Acting National Chairman and former
National Assistant Secretary of APC, as the National Zonal Vice Chairman for
South-South region seeing that he has the capacity to represent the zone
accordingly."
"I must commend the delegates
for adhering to my counsel and plea by voting massively for Chief Giadom and
showing Boms and his promoters that they are still political Lilliputians in
this game of politics
Eze called on the Sen. Abdullahi
Adamu and his team to fold their sleeves, swing into action and put modalities
in place to ensure that all frayed nerves in the party are calmed and interests
protected with the 2023 election in focus.
