Amaechi Voted For Tinubu -- Eze Chukwuemeka Eze Debunks Tony Okocha

Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze of the defunct New Peoples Democratic Party has responded to Tony Okocha’s claims of Rotimi Amaechi running anti-party activities in Rivers.
According to Eze, Amaechi voted for Bola Tinubu in the presidential election as opposed to claims stating he advised the Rivers State camp to vote for the opposition.
Chief Eze further stressed that Tony Okocha was no longer a part of the APC after a failed ploy to sabotage the Rivers State faction to incite crisis in the party.

EKO HOT BLOG reports that Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, the erstwhile National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New Peoples Democratic Party (nPDP), has responded to Tony Okocha, former Chief of Staff to former Governor Rotimi Amaechi, who claimed that Amaechi voted for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, during the February 25 presidential election while he was still a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Okocha further alleged that Amaechi was no longer the leader of APC in Rivers and that his own faction of APC had mobilized and galvanized support in the state for the APC presidential candidate, Mr. Bola Tinubu, now President-elect, and that the party won fair and square in Rivers State with the huge support it received from Governor Nyesom Ezenwo Wike.

Reacting to the claims, Eze stated that the crude and inordinate desperation for power had taken a better half of Okocha, whom he described as a snooping rabbit contracted by third parties to meddle in the affairs of Rivers APC and create confusion therein in a desperate bid to further the political pursuit of his paymasters.

Eze also noted that Okocha had long left the APC after a failed ploy by saboteurs to infiltrate and trigger fresh crisis in the party through him.

He went on to say that Okocha’s inclusion in the APC presidential campaign council came through the recommendation of Sen. Magnus Abe, a member of SDP, and not the APC.

Eze called on those within the circle of President-elect Tinubu to limit their dealings with Okocha to the personal relationship they enjoy and not to extend it to the affairs and concerns of the Rivers State Chapter of the APC as such an endeavor would mean bringing Okocha into the party through the backdoor.

Eze reiterated that former Minister Amaechi is a committed progressive and could not have abandoned the presidential candidate of the APC, in which he has invested so much, to declare support for another candidate on the eve of the election.
