The youth wing of apex Igbo socio-cultural organization, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide has once again attacked the Rivers state governor, Nyesom Wike accusing him and four other G-5 governors of killing Igbo presidency by playing out dirty politics in the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP).
Govenor Wike and four other aggrieved governors are presently out of the country where they will be deliberating on who to support for the 2023 presidential elections.
Speculations are rife that they will be taking a decision on who to choose between Mr. Peter Obi of the Labour Party and Bola Ahmed Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress, (APC).
However, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youths have accused Wike of being self-centred in his politics.
According to a statement made available to the media on Wednesday, the National President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Youth Council Worldwide, Mazi Okwu Nnabuike described Wike’s movement as one driven by selfish interest and greed.
“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.
“Nigerians should not be deceived by Wike’s gimmicks. I also urged the governors moving with him to realise that he is pursuing a personal agenda. There is nothing like integrity in what he is doing, so his claim of leading ‘an integrity group’ should be discarded,” the Igbo youth President declared.
