Disputes over the fate of Nigeria’s rivers have brought about a mix of division and uncertainty, with some key figures accused of collaborating in a plan to destabilize the region. Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, a top official of the All Progressives Congress (APC), has become the latest figure to speak out against the alleged actions of President Bola Tinubu and Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike.
According to Eze, the duo’s recent behavior suggests that they are actively working together to cause chaos and discomfort in Rivers State. He made these allegations in response to a Federal High Court ruling that halted the disbursement of financial allocations to the state, a move he believes is an attempt to undermine the state’s development.
The APC chieftain believes that Wike’s actions demonstrate a deep-seated disdain for Rivers State and its people, as he uses his position to hinder the state’s progress. This, Eze claims, has led to widespread unhappiness and a general feeling of distrust in the Tinubu administration.
Eze expressed his concern over the potential consequences of these actions, which he sees as a threat to the stability of the state and ultimately the nation as a whole. He warned that a crisis in Rivers State could have far-reaching implications for Nigeria’s democratic governance system.
Eze also expressed his disappointment at the silence of President Tinubu, who he believes has failed to take a leadership role in tackling the crisis. He attributed their (Tinubu and Wike’s) actions to their personal interests and biases, rather than a genuine commitment to the development of the state and the country.
As the situation continues to unfold, Eze urges citizens to remain informed, ensuring that justice is served, and to prevent any actions that could lead to instability and conflict in Rivers State.
