I am not an Igbo Man – Wike
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has reaffirmed his Ikwerre identity, stating clearly that he is not an Igbo man. He made this declaration during a media chat in Abuja on Sunday while addressing the recent election of John Azuta Mbata as the President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo.
Azuta Mbata was elected in Enugu State a few weeks ago following the completion of Fidelis Nze Chukwu’s tenure and the passing of former President-General Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu.
Reacting to Mbata’s emergence, Wike stated, “I’m an Ikwerre man, not an Igbo man. I don’t have a problem with Igbo people.” He emphasized that while Azuta Mbata has the right to associate with any group, he himself is not a member of Ohanaeze Ndigbo.
“I’m an unrepentant Ikwerre man, and I will never, for anything, deny my identity just to be recognized,” he asserted.
