The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council, OYC, Worldwide, has said that the political career of Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has been murdered by Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB.

Reacting to the killings of Igbo people in Obigbo, OYC affirmed that 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 Igbo group further stated 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.

OYC said, “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 Daily Post on Saturday.

“Governor Wike should be bold enough to clarify most of the allegations leveled against him by the 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 order to revert to his role as de facto 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.”
