2023: Where Was Your Equity When You Chased Peter Obi Out Of PDP – Ohanaeze Knocks Wike Ahead Of G-5 Presidential Endorsement

The youth wing of apex Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide has berated the Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike over the crisis plaguing the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

Naija News reports that Wike and his allies, the G-5 governors, are currently out of the country where they will be deciding the candidate to support ahead of the 2023 Elections.

The group will reportedly choose between Peter Obi of the Labour Party and Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

However, reacting in a statement made available to Naija News on Wednesday, the National President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike insisted that Wike is driven by his selfish interest.

Okwu, who berated the Rivers Governor for working against a Nigerian president of Igbo extraction, said Wike was now playing the ostrich.

According to him, “We want to tell Nigerians not to be deceived by the likes of Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, who claims to be fighting against injustice in the PDP whereas he is merely pursuing selfish interests.

“It is on record that Governor Wike scuttled the micro-zoning of the PDP presidential ticket to the South-East because he felt he would bamboozle his way and get the ticket. But having failed to realise that selfish ambition, he turned to be shouting for justice and equity.

“Where was the equity when he chased Mr. Peter Obi of the Labour Party out of PDP? Where was equity when he refused all entreaties to back someone from the South-East for the PDP ticket? Now that he failed to clinch to the ticket, he now realises there is equity.”

The group went on to warn the G-5 governors that Wike is pursing a personal agenda and lacks integrity.

The Igbo youth president opined that whatever decision Wike and his allies finally make will be laced with personal desires and gains.
