Name politicians sponsoring insecurity – Eze challenges Orji, Oshiomhole

Chief Eze Chukwuemeka Eze, a former National Publicity Secretary of the defunct New Peoples Democratic Party, nPDP, has blasted Senator Orji Uzor Kalu for blaming politicians for the recent upsurge in banditry across the country.

“For a man in the calibre of Orji Uzor Kalu, to level such a “disgraceful and unsubstantiated” allegation goes to show a “high display of sycophancy, eye service and betrayal of the highest order” that have characterized some politicians in the country’s political circle,” Eze said in statement in Port Harcourt on Monday.

“How could a sane mind, not suffering from political hallucination assume that opposition politicians are sponsoring bandits and violence to destabilize President Bola Tinubu’s administration,” Eze further queried.

Instead, Eze told the former Abia State governor to be man enough and confront Tinubu with the stark reality on ground caused by his woeful and clueless performance as President of Nigeria.

“Orji Uzor Kalu should be bold and patriotic enough to tell Tinubu, hook, line and sinker that Nigeria is sitting on a keg of gunpowder and hopelessly bleeding under his nose.

“What Tinubu needs now is visionary, truthful and proactive friends, and not lilly-livered politicians who speak from both sides of their mouths just to curry political favour.

“Proffer solutions to the spate of kidnapping, killings and wanton destruction of lives and property going on in the country despite collosal sums of monies being expended by the Federal Government in the name of fighting insecurity rather than apportioning blame” Eze told Kalu.

Recall that Kalu had in an interview on TRUST BASE NEWS’s Sunday Politics, asserted that the pattern of attacks suggests a political agenda rather than random criminal activity.

In a statement on Monday, Eze told Kalu and Adams Oshiomhole, who shares similar position with Kalu, that “it is the blood of innocent and defenceless Nigerians slaughtered as a result of this administration’s zero solution to insecurity, and prayers of the Saints that attracted the attention of the world over the insecurity in Nigeria”.

“My dear Senators Kalu and Oshiomhole, what is happening in our country is not a calculated violence, but an indicator that President Tinubu has failed totally to protect Nigerians.

“He has no solution to the security challenges bedevilling Nigeria at present. He is clueless and this is disgraceful. Advise him and don’t blame anybody.

“There is nothing like part of a calculated attempt to destabilise President Bola Tinubu’s administration. Go and advise him to sit up and protect Nigerians. He should face governance rather than setting eyes on 2027, when he has failed woefully as a President,” Eze said.

Eze challenged Kalu and Oshiomhole to name the sponsors of insecurity in Nigeria, stressing that their failure to name those involved is an act of sheer cowardice and means that they are privy to what is going on in the country.

“Name them if you know them. If you know them, then you are part of them. Who are these politicians that are bent on ensuring Tinubu fails in office just as they allegedly tried to undermine former President Goodluck Jonathan, Eze challenged Orji Uzor Kalu and Adams Oshiomhole

“It is unfortunate that Senators Kalu and Oshiomhole instead of addressing the issue surrounding the security challenges facing Nigeria, preferred to blame the opposition politicians within and outside Nigeria without having the boldness to name those that he has in mind,” Eze said.
