Former National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New Peoples Democratic Party (nPDP), Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has slammed a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Ayekooto Akindele, over his claims on the political competence of Peter Obi and Atiku Abubakar.
Akindele claimed that Atiku and Obi have never won any election in Nigeria.
However, speaking via a statement on Wednesday, Eze argued that depending upon what Akindele meant by election, both have never participated in any credible, free and fair election in Nigeria to warrant such an absurd comparison.
Eze described Akindele’s statement as attention-seeking, ignorant, and foolish.
He said, “That comment by one Akindele, a self acclaimed chieftain of the APC is best described as attention-seeking, utter rubbish, foolish and a high display of market day ignorance,” Eze said in a statement on Wednesday.
“The insinuation by the so called Akindele that Amaechi have not won any election since Wike left him is provocative, and a gutter narrative to score cheap popularity.”By making such a statement, Eze said Akindele has only succeeded to exhibit his ignorance about who Amaechi is in Nigeria’s political setting.
“As much as it is not my intention to accord any credibility to a public seeking fellow like Ayekooto Akindele, it is imperative to correct his erroneous postulation to avoid the general public from accepting such a heinous fallacy.”
Eze explained that Wike himself had, in various public fora, acknowledged that Peter Obi won the election in Rivers State, which he, in his usual manner, credited to Bola Tinubu.
“Exhibiting his ignorance, Akindele forgot that Amaechi was the Campaign Director General, who supervised the election of President Muhammadu Buhari on the two occasions he contested presidential elections under the platform of the APC. So, which election did Amaechi lose?” Eze asked.
“Has Amaechi contested any election since he left the Rivers State Government House or are you talking about the APC Presidential Primaries which was a Charade and disgrace to the entire world in which it was sold to the highest bidder; and if that is what you have in mind, then you are totally ignorant of what election is all about,” Eze added.
