An APC chieftain, Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze says there is no rift between national chairman of APC, Adams Oshiomhole, Minister of State for Petroleum, Timipre Sylva and Minister of Transport, Rotimi Amaechi.
He described reports on social media credited to Mr. Godstime Orlukwu, a former CTC chairman of Emohua Local Government Area and an ardent supporter of Amaechi as fictitious and a cocktail of lie, emanating from men of the underworld.
In a press statement, Eze, an erstwhile National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New Peoples Democratic Party (nPDP) condemned the propagators of the false report, stressing that it has nothing to do with Godstime Orlukwu.
Haven perused through the damaging report, Eze confirmed establishing contact with Dr. Orlukwu and reliably gathered that he neither authored the piece nor contracted anybody to do same on his behalf and that the said report never emenated from him.
“I just spoke with my brother and political leader, Dr Godstime Orlukwu on a false statement credited to him alleging that some of the colleagues and political associates of Rt. Hon. Chibuike Rotimi Amaechi are his enemies. The mischievous, malicious and wicked statement aimed at sowing seeds of discord between the Honourable Minister mentioned Sylva, Oshiomhole, Akpabio, Omo-Agege as culprits.
From what I gathered from the APC Chieftain Dr Godstime Orlukwu, he never granted any interview to any Journalist or authorised such ungodly statement to be issued by anybody on his behalf insinuating that such good friends of his boss are his enemies or that the Minister is against any appointment made to anybody”.
Eze reinterred that the public should discountenance such a fallacious report describing it as the handiwork of mischief makers targeted at smearing the unblemished image of the Transportation Minister.
“As we investigate the source of this wicked report and those behind it, let me reiterate that those who wants to create enemies for the Honourable Minister of Transportation for their wicked political gains will not succeed in any form”. Eze said.
The statement further reads – “Let me caution finally that I am fully aware of all the evil steps put in place to discredit and pull down the Minister but God of justice will always guide and protect us from their hands”.
Eze issued a 48 hours ultimatum to the publishers of the damaging report to retract same or earn severe consequences.
“Finally, the publisher of this false report is by this press statement given 48 hours to pull down the report and retrace from its further publication or earn the wrath and weight of the law in this regard”.
On the appointment of Senator Magnus Abe into the Board of NNPC, Eze said it does not in any way affect the plans of the APC to deliver Rivers State from its present sad situation, all things being equal come 2023.
