Read Time:1 Minute, 38 Second
The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), finds himself embroiled in a contentious situation as he, Nyesom Wike faces a compelling 7-day ultimatum to apologize to the Igbo community in Nigeria. This ultimatum issued by the Chairman of the Igbo Community Assembly, Apo in Abuja, Ositadinma Patrick Nwoye, comes as a stern warning for Wike to retract or confront the collective outrage of all Igbos and the revered deities of Igbo land.
The genesis of this demand traces back to the aftermath of the demolition of a housing estate owned by Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu, where Wike purportedly made derogatory remarks targeting the Igbo populace. In a statement to the press in Abuja, Nwoye decried Wike’s alleged disparaging comments, emphasizing the need for accountability and respect within the diverse fabric of Nigerian society.

In his statement, Nwoye accentuated the distinction between Abuja and Port Harcourt, cautioning Wike against perpetuating divisive rhetoric that undermines national unity and harmony. He asserted the non-negotiable significance of addressing the alleged affront to the Igbo identity, firmly advocating for his public apology to the Igbo community assembly as a restorative measure as Nyesom Wike faces a compelling 7-day ultimatum to apologize.
Furthermore, Nwoye presented compelling evidence in the form of ministerial approvals for the Asokoro Estate and court orders prohibiting its demolition, challenging Wike’s justification for his actions. By spotlighting discrepancies between Wike’s assertions and documented facts, Nwoye underscored the gravity of the situation and the imperative for accountability.
Condemning Wike’s conduct as emblematic of intimidation, animosity, and prejudice towards the Igbo community, the assembly has called upon President Bola Tinubu to intervene and reprimand the minister. Furthermore, this collective stance reflects to a steadfast commitment to upholding the dignity and rights of the Igbo people while holding public officials accountable for their words and actions.
