The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council, OYC, Worldwide, has declared
that the political career of Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has been
murdered by Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.
The OYC believes that Wike, whom it described as an Igbo of
Ikwerre stock, will be haunted by the killing of residents in Oyigbo Local
Government Area by soldiers.
The group said the killing was a political eyesore that will
surely be used to haunt Wike’s future political aspirations.
“Nnamdi
Kanu is a messenger and a pawn in the hands of Northeast and Yoruba
politicians, carefully drafted to destabilize South East and South South
states, to upset upcoming presidential aspirants from the two political zones
ahead of buildups of 2023,”
OYC claimed in a statement signed by Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, its
President General, and made available to us on Saturday.
According to OYC, Kanu saw the
opportunity to use #EndSARS protests as adventurous political scheming to run
down presidential hopefuls through causing controversies by inciting violence
in many parts, such as Aba, Enugu, Nnewi, Onitsha, Owerri, Abakiliki and
Obigbo.
The youth group believes that while other the Governors in the
South East and South South managed the crisis and civil disobedience with
maturity and wisdom, Governor Wike was caught up in the allegedly grand
conspiracy designed by some politicians, using Kanu.
“Governor Wike should be bold
enough to clarify most of the allegations levelled against him by IPOB leader,
especially that he [Kanu] made him Governor, and he should quickly tender
unreserved apology to his kinsmen [Igbos] over the mistakes of Obigbo in other
to revert to his role as defacto opposition leader. If he relies on the
deceptive rhetoric of a few circle of Igbo leaders that only values his
pockets, definitely he will never escape the dent and consequences of the
Obigbo massacres in the future as the Chief Security officer of Rivers State,
as history might be unkind to him,” the OYC said.
