No Regrets For Amaechi Joining APC, Insists Party Chieftain

No Regrets For Amaechi Joining APC, Insists Party Chieftain A senior chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has dismissed recent claims that former Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi, regrets his decision to join the APC or has intentions of rejoining the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

In a statement from Port Harcourt on Monday, Eze described the rumors circulating on social media as unfounded, labeling them a fabrication by “mischief makers and media irritants” aiming to tarnish Amaechi’s reputation. He asserted that Amaechi, a prominent figure in the APC, remains fully committed to the party’s mission and vision, with no plans to leave.

Amaechi, a former governor of Rivers State and an influential APC member, has been pivotal in expanding the party’s presence in Nigeria’s South-South region. Eze emphasized that Amaechi’s loyalty has never wavered, despite attempts by detractors to create controversy around his political affiliations.

Eze stated, “Ordinarily, I wouldn’t have addressed this baseless narrative concocted by a faceless ‘paper tiger’ who often goes by the alias Mr. Ibe. However, I feel compelled to respond, as these repeated media attacks signify Amaechi’s role as a pragmatic political leader and visionary.”

He further remarked that Amaechi’s recent silence in the political arena has unsettled his opponents, causing what Eze described as “sleepless nights and palpable tension.” He cautioned detractors against spreading falsehoods to damage Amaechi’s reputation, suggesting that their actions stem from seeing Amaechi as a potential force in upcoming political events.

Additionally, Eze acknowledged that Amaechi has been outspoken about the APC-led Federal Government’s shortcomings, particularly regarding policies he feels have exacerbated Nigeria’s economic hardships. He noted that Amaechi has openly criticized the government’s “ineptitude” and what he described as “thoughtless policies” that have left many Nigerians in increasingly difficult economic conditions.

This statement reaffirms Amaechi’s steadfast loyalty to the APC and dismisses rumors suggesting otherwise, positioning him as a committed leader focused on addressing Nigeria’s political and economic challenges.
