2027: Eze reacts to Wike’s threat to stop Amaechi from campaigning in Rivers

Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze criticised remarks attributed to Federal Capital Territory Minister Nyesom Wike, who threatened to stop former Rivers State governor Chibuike Amaechi from campaigning in the state. Eze defended an objective assessment of Amaechi’s record as state assembly speaker, governor and transportation minister, and urged Wike to focus on his own responsibilities. He condemned attempts to exclude Amaechi from lawful political activities, saying voters should be able to hear candidates and choose freely. Eze said the 2027 general election outcome would depend on the candidates, their programmes and voters’ assessment of their records.
