I’m Not Igbo – Wike

On Sunday, Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), stated that he does not identify as an Igbo man.

He revealed this information during a media chat in Abuja on Sunday while discussing John Azuta Mbata’s election as the President-General of Ohanaeze Ndigbo.

A few weeks ago, Azuta Mbata was elected President-General of Ohanaeze in Imo State. He succeeded Fidelis Nze Chukwu, who served out the term following the passing of former President-General Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu.

Referring to Mbata, Wike stated: “I am an Ikwerre man, not Igbo. I have no issue with Igbo people.”

Azuta Mbata is free to associate with anyone. I am a proud Ikwerre individual and not affiliated with Ohanaeze.

“I will not, under any circumstances, compromise my identity for the sake of recognition.”
