A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, has dismissed reports claiming that former Minister of Transportation, Chibuike Amaechi, regrets his association with the APC and would consider rejoining the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
In a statement released in Port Harcourt on Monday, Eze described the rumours circulating on social media as baseless, calling it a fabrication by “mischief makers and media irritants” aimed at tarnishing Amaechi’s image.
Eze further noted that Amaechi, a prominent figure in the APC, remains committed to the party’s mission and vision with no intention of abandoning it.
Amaechi, a former governor of Rivers State and a long-standing APC member, played a significant role in the party’s development in the South-South region. His loyalty, Eze emphasized, has been unwavering despite attempts by detractors to stir controversy. 
Eze said, “Ordinarily, I wouldn’t have responded to this deliberate but yet another concocted false narrative by one faceless paper tiger, who always deceptively tag himself as Mr. Ibe.
“However, I am bound to react because these series of media attacks are pointers to the fact that Amaechi is a pragmatic political czar, visionary, team player and a force to reckon with as far as genuine democratic governance and leadership in Nigeria are concerned.
“For those of us in the Amaechi camp, we perceive those peddling these lies aimed at casting aspersion on the person of our principal, as those struggling to overcome the fear-of-unknown syndrome.
“Amaechi’s silence for more than a year in the political scheme of things in this country has caused sleepless nights, unimaginable fear and palpable tension to his detractors. You must not play mind game with falsehood or drag Amaechi’s reputation to the mud because you see him as a potential threat in the buildup to the next political dispensation.”
He added that “Amaechi has been vocal about the troubling ineptitude and docile posture of the APC-led Federal Government over the hostile economic situation in the country, apparently reinforced by the thoughtless policies of the administration which have successfully driven Nigeria into its present hapless fate and have continued progressively, to commandeer the people deeper and deeper into abject poverty.”
