In response to a recent assertion made by Tony Okocha that Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi is no longer a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, a former press secretary of the now-defunct New People’s Democratic Party (nPDP), has reacted.
Speaking to the media in Abuja earlier this week, Okocha asserted that Amaechi, the former governor of Rivers State, had advised the party leadership not to invite him to participate in any political events.
Eze termed Okocha’s comments a fiction and said he was correcting the record in a statement released on Thursday. He urged Nigerians to disregard Okocha’s claim.
He said Okocha is just a “licensed merchant of falsehood and seasoned smear campaigner with a natural certification in Pull-Him-Own-Syndrome (PHD), a qualification that endears him so much to paymasters whose penchants run antithetical to good governance and democracy.”
Eze said that Okocha seems to have lost his cognitive orientation, which is a probable reason for “his very weird, ridiculous and tediously pointless loquacity that goes to no merit and it is only appropriate that people round him bound him in chains and help him to the psychiatric to assess his mental health in his own interest.”
He went on to say that Okocha should have received an urgent invitation for interrogation from security authorities in light of his recent admission in a widely shared social media video that he wrote election results. This would have been the case in a society run by rational people.
“But unfortunately, we live in a society where insane, morally bereft and psychopathic patients roam about freely, endangering the entire human species and corrupting public manners,” he added.
According to Eze, Okocha is merely looking for attention, something the former minister of transportation is unwilling to provide.
The APC leader reiterated that there would have been no APC anywhere without people like Amaechi, adding that his efforts are undeniable and visible even to the blind.
He stressed that “Amaechi had never at any time announced his exit from the APC and, as such, remained the leader of the party” and urged the public to disregard Okocha, whom he called a “hired imposter and political jobber whose house serves as the Rumuigbo Psychiatric Hospital annex.”
