A founding member of the All Progressives Congress, and ally of the Minister of Transportation, Chief Chukwuemeka Eze on Wednesday, took a swipe at Senator Magnus Abe over his recent comments that the party can’t succeed in the state without him and his supporters.

Eze, who is the erstwhile National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New People’s Democratic Party, criticized  the former APC spokesman, Chief Ogbonna Nwuke who recently resigned his position and left the party.

In a statement in Port Harcourt, Eze said the APC in Rivers State was better off without Senator Abe and Chief Nwuke.

UGAMATV had reported that Abe while addressing his supporters in Bera, Gokana Local Government Area last week, boasted that the APC could not succeed in the state without him and his supporters.

Eze said, “It is ironic and laughable to learn that Senator Magnus Abe whose membership of the APC is a matter of question, has continued to deceive some gullible youths of Rivers State that APC will not exist in Rivers State without him and some of his misguided supporters.

“Even when he has tactically removed himself from the party upon his deliberate refusal to renew his membership of the party amidst several windows of opportunities.”
