2023: Politicians Using Kanu To Destroy South’s Presidential Ambition – OYC

The Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council, on Saturday claimed that the political career of Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State had been destroyed by the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu.

OYC noted that the killings of people in Oyigbo Local Government Area by soldiers will haunt the Peoples Democratic Party Governor.

The group added that the incident is a political issue that will be used to haunt Wike’s future political aspirations.

OYC in a statement released through its President General, Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, 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.”

The group claimed that Governor Wike used the #EndSARS protest 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.

OYC in its statement noted 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.
