Responding to Wike’s recent claim that Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed and others influenced the party to zone its ticket to the North, Eze described the allegation as a “broad daylight lie” and insisted Wike was responsible for the decision to throw the ticket open.
Eze argued that Wike’s ambition to secure the PDP presidential ticket led to the collapse of the party’s zoning arrangement. He further accused Wike of opposing Atiku Abubakar’s proposal to zone the presidency to the South-East, saying Wike’s actions were driven by his fear of competing with Peter Obi within the PDP.
