The President of Ebonyi State Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture, Dr Eze Emmanuel Eze, has noted that the recent efforts of the coalition of opposition politicians to coalesce into a common platform has discomfited the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

He noted that the knee-jerk actions by the APC, including the sudden removal of its national chairman and the attempt to frustrate the opposition are signs that the party is feeling the heat from the strategic designs of the coalition.

Eze, who spoke to some journalists against the background of the recent adoption of African Democratic Congress (ADC) as the mega opposition party, is coming at the right time, stressing that the ruling knows that the time is up for its programmes od deception and poor governance system.

He remarked: “In my reading of the room, the coalition has achieved one thing, and that is that APC is now resorting to reactionary tactics. That to me, is the beginning of the collapse of the house of cards that APC actually represents.

“Tinubu should explore just one option. Let him focus on conducting a credible election without having himself on the ballot. That way Nigerians will forgive him his shortcomings, because we are a truly religious nation.”

“The removal of Alhaji Abdullahi Ganduje from office shows that the centre can no longer for APC. It shows that APC is now a house on fire. Do not allow their propaganda machinery tell you otherwise.

“The coalition is giving APC a big run-up on their game of deception. Those who described Tinubu as the Prince himself in Machiavelli are not mistaken. Unlike Sun Tzu, who is more philosophical and intellectually inclined in the use of strategy, Tinubu comes out as a ruthless power monger that substitutes deception with ruthless display of brute force.”

Eze noted that Nigerians could now be rest assured that a credible alternative platform has emerged to give them genuine hope of redemption from the present tragedy of policy inconsistencies and dehumanising socioeconomic conditions defined by government’s indifference.

While pointing out the clear disparity between President Tinubu’s Renewed Hope administration and the Obidient Movement, Eze maintained that unlike ADC, APC is a special purpose vehicle put together to grab power.

He added: “And, you must remember that criminal steals from the same neighbourhood with the same alacrity… Hunger and bad governance have kept Nigerians wide awake. Everybody is now vigilant. Nobody will wait to go to court instead of coming out to vote and settle scores at the polling booths.

“It has now dawned on us all that no politician rigs, buys votes or steals election to serve the people. APC’s focus was and still remains power grab and ostentatious display in Yacht and designer cars.

“For us in the Obidient Movement, we are focused on building a new Nigeria, where justice, peace and progress moderate the distribution of national wealth and opportunities. In fact, for the Obidient Movement, an egalitarian society is all that matters.”
