APC Chieftain, Eze Chukwuemeka, Accuses Tinubu of “Electoral Fraud” Plot for 2027

A controversial chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Rivers State, Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has declared that President Bola Tinubu’s recent political moves, including the appointment of Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda as APC National Chairman and the alleged harassment of opposition politicians, will not be enough to secure his re-election in 2027.

Eze alleged that President Tinubu “is having his eyes on electoral fraud in 2027 and the recent appointment of Prof. Yilwatda as National Chairman of the APC has further highlighted this”.

In a statement released to the media, Eze noted that the “sudden activation of EFCC’s attack mode against perceived political foes is highly condemnable and signposts an administration that is paranoid over the conduct of a credible, free and fair election come 2027 general elections”.

He stated “unequivocally that none of what he described as the devious plots being adopted by the Tinubu administration to retain power will come to fruition”.

Eze claimed, “I wish to state that none of these acts, both unleashing the EFCC on opposition politicians and appointment of Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda as the National Chairman of APC, so that he can manipulate INEC, will save Tinubu from relocating back to Lagos come 2027,”.

He contended that the 2027 general elections will not be a contest between political parties, but “emphatically between APC and Nigerians”.

He added, “With the level of hydra-headed socio-economic and political calamities that have befallen this country due to Tinubu’s inhumane, clueless and anti-people policies, I know Nigerians will do everything humanly possible to free themselves from the circle of deaths occasioned by maladministration,”.

Eze also alleged that plans by the Tinubu government to “intimidate the immediate Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami (SAN), out of the coalition movement is an exercise in futility”.

He described the action against Malami, a former minister under late President Muhammadu Buhari, as a sign of “ingratitude and obsession to hold on to power by all means without minding whose ox is gored”.

Eze revealed that, according to “Report at my disposal,” Malami “will be questioned over at least five suspicious transactions during his time in office as the AGF and Justice Minister”, including a $496 million payment to Global Steel Holdings, the handling of forfeited assets, and the Paris Club refunds.

While acknowledging he is not against prosecuting corrupt officials, Eze said, “making such action selective and targeting politically exposed Nigerians in opposition, to say the least, is unacceptable and stands condemned”.

He argued, “So, Tinubu wants Nigerians to believe and clap for him, that one of the former opposition governors serving presently in his administration as a minister is a saint, and has no skeleton in his cupboard?”.

Eze concluded that the strategy of using security agencies to “hound opposition politicians prior to elections has become old-fashioned and no longer dreaded because of its selective aura”.
