Eze, according to the organisers of the awards, had been nominated
due to his "immense contributions towards humanity and service towards
ensuring peace, development and advancement of the Niger Delta region".
However, responding to the award offer, Eze, who is a chieftain of
the All Progressives Congress (APC) and an opinion moulder in the oil-rich
region, said he had to turn the offer of award down for now so he could work
more dedicatedly and become more worthy of the honour in future, even as he
expressed gratitude to the award organisers.
According to him, he had not achieved his actual mission in the
region, which he said is to ensure the total enthronement of genuine democracy,
through the election of APC government in the entire region, adding that until
he achieves thist, he would not consider himself as being ready to accept an
award for his inputs to what Niger Delta region is at the moment.
He also reassured the people of the region that he will not relent
in his struggle to ensure that the region benefits from what is due to her in
the politics of Nigeria being the main source of the wealth of Nigeria.
"I will beg to decline accepting this prestigious award at this
time for reasons surrounding my devotion and the need to give more of my time
to ensuring that the people of the region get a deserving good
governance", he said.
