The Ohanaeze Ndigbo has said a governor and presidential candidate are sponsoring protests against the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike.<\/p>\n
Ohanaeze said the protests are aimed at distracting Wike and President Bola Tinubu from performing their duties.<\/p>\n
Thousands of FCT indigenes had stormed the National Assembly calling for Wike\u2019s resignation over alleged land racketeering.<\/p>\n
Speaking for the indigenous, one Adamu Kabir Matazu, urged the National Assembly to probe Wike\u2019s policies on land allocations.<\/p>\n
Reacting, Ohanaeze\u2019s factional Secretary-General, Okechukwu Isiguzoro, said the governor and the presidential candidate were sponsoring the protests to score cheap political goals.<\/p>\n
In a statement he signed, Isiguzoro charged the opposition political parties to allow Wike to focus on his duties and not politicking.<\/p>\n
According to Isiguzoro: \u201cThe opposition political parties should allow Nyesom Wike to focus on his duties and not politicking.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe political sponsored protests in Abuja on Wednesday 6th December 2023 were mobilized by an opposition Governor and Presidential candidate to score cheap political goals and distract Wike, who is one of the pillars of Tinubu\u2019s administration.\u201d<\/p>\n
He noted that despite Ikwerre being Igbo, the Ndigbo would protect their own and asked Tinubu to ignore the antics of opposition parties to distract his administration.<\/p>\n
