The apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, has described Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State as ‘Idi Amin of the Peoples Democratic Party’. This was apparently because of the governor’s latest outbusts on some burning national issues.
The group said Governor Wike’s utterances were ‘worrisome and tyrannical’.
The group, in a statement by its Secretary-General, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, said such disposition would likely destroy Governor Wike’s political career.

While accusing Governor Wike of openly claiming responsibility for the recent judgement against Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State, the group said, “We are reviewing the legal implications of Governor Wike’s vexatious outbursts over the Abuja Federal High Court judgement that sacked Ebonyi Governor, the Deputy Governor, and the House of Assembly members.”
The Ohanaeze claimed that “this is a confirmation that there is a grand hooligan operation to destabilise the South East, which is unfortunately, coming from a man who denied his Igbo identity”.
Isiguzoro added that, “the massacre of Igbos in Obigbo (Oyibo) in Rivers State is still fresh in our minds.

“The sponsors of the grand scheme and conspiracy to remove the Ebonyi Governor remains a subversive and provocative invasion aimed at distracting the South-East from the 2023 presidential election.
“For how long will Wike realise that he should be a shining light of the PDP and the Niger Delta rather than picking up fights on all fronts?
“Ndigbo will forgive Governor Wike if he retreats and apologizes to Umahi, but disastrous consequences await him if he continues in these futile expeditions.”
