A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and an erstwhile National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New People’s Democratic Party, nPDP, Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has hit harshly at Wike, stating that the people from the APC supposedly in Wike’s camp were actually planted by him.
This was in response to a statement made by the Rivers state governor, Hon. Barr. Nyesom Ezenwo Wike, while commissioning a project; Wike reportedly claimed that through his works in the state, he has been able to silence APC in the state and is destroying their structure, at present.
Reacting via a statement sent to CEOAFRICA on Thursday, Eze alleged that those who dumped the ruling APC are miles planted by Governor Wike. 
Hear him, "It will amount to gross disappointment for the Governor to bank on the emptiness of the irrelevant and politically worthless former APC members whom he bought over to his side after they were swayed by his cash gifts running into millions of Naira, to destroy the Rivers APC, noting that the departure of those former APC members has very little or no negative impact on the stability of the party in the state.
"The fact that the Governor used some political jobbers who marauded as party men to scuttle the chances of APC in the elections of 2015 and 2019 should not give him courage to think that same regrettable mistakes will ever be allowed to happen in 2023.
Those who left the APC are moles planted by Wike and what happened is simply that he took them back to his fold formally to show them appreciation for constituting themselves as nuisance to the progress of the party in the State and that does not qualify as defection because they were not part of the progressives in the first instance.
Are you counting that these elements rejoining you in order to receive their pay for aiding you to continue to ruin the economy and future of Rivers State is what gives you the impression that you are destroying the APC Structure? If the answer is in the affirmative, then your stand becomes laughable as it doesn't in any way portray that APC in Rivers State have been decimated.”
By retrieving some of these elements who have by their actions have lost political relevance so far politics is concerned in Rivers State you have only succeeded in making the Rivers State APC Structure stronger and well positioned to send you and your funny Group out from the Brick House and salvage the State from her present sorry State.”
