Crisis in Rivers: Eze hails Fubara for aligning with Amaechi
Erstwhile National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New People’s Democratic Party (nPDP) and Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze has hailed Rivers State Governor, Siminialayi Fubara, for allegedly discarding former predecessor, Nyesom Wike and reportedly aligning with ex-Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi.
Eze cautioned the Federal Capital Territory, FCT Minister to refrain from his alleged custom of unbridled and overbearing indulgence targeted at resisting his sense of entitlement and lordship over the public and private lives and concerns of others.
Eze was reacting to the fuss between Fubara and Wike, which became public over the weekend and has transformed into a secessionist struggle for freedom and self-determination for Fubara and his government.
The former nPDP spokesman said that Fubara has earned his commendation for relying on his instincts by putting up a manly fight against acts that plague the conscience.
there was a rift among members of the Rivers State House of Assembly on Sunday as some of them commenced impeachment proceedings against Fubara.
Eze said Wike had decided to move against Governor Fubara because he embraced the people-oriented programs of Amaechi for the development of the state.
Fubara had also rejected Wike’s moves to shut him out of every political engagement and decision within and outside the state to the extent that he was cautioned never to attend any political meetings in Abuja, including PDP -Governors Forum where he holds sway as Vice Chair.
Edison Ehie, Leader of the State House of Assembly had rejected the bid to impeach the Governor, having not committed any impeachable offence and was removed as the majority Leader.
Edison has now been elected the Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly.
Eze urged the people of Rivers State to rally around the Governor and save the state from the hands of a very unprincipled emperor who thought that he had conquered Rivers State and her people.
“Rivers State is so sophisticated to be enslaved by an individual of the calibre of Nyesom Wike.
“The attempt to commence impeachment process against Rivers State Governor just because he wants to revive most of Amaechi’s vision like the Songhai and the Greater Port Harcourt all aimed at making Rivers State not only self-sufficient and empowering most youths in Rivers State is most sad and unfortunate.
“Let me reiterate that Wike should not attempt to reignite his illegal use of five lawmakers to commence impeachment threat against Amaechi by July 2013 because this time around his plot against Fubara will fail abysmally.
“Rivers State is not Wike’s personal property for him to decide on the destiny of the State

Eze called on Governor Fubara to sustain the fight and ensure he breaks forth from the servitude to which he has been subjected by the FCT Minister.
