A position on the political
future of the Ikwerre ethnic nationality will be taken in January, 2018.
This is meant to mark the
beginning of the political squabble between the two main political parties in
Rivers state, the People’s Democratic Party and the All Progressives Congress
ahead of the 2019 general elections.
Recall that the two major
political heavyweights in Rivers state, Governor Nyesom Wike and Minister of
Transportation, Rotimi Amaechi are both both from the Ikwerre extraction.
Speaking with newsmen President
General of a socio-political group, Ikwerre Youth Movement, Azubuike Wanjoku
said Ikwerre people will take a definite position on the unending rift between
Wike and Amaechi.
Wanjoku said Ikwerre people have
been given a bad name by Governor Wike adding that the notion about Ikwerre
people lacking leadership prowess must be corrected.
According to him, “On the 13th of
January, Ikwerre people will make a statement. A statement that will herald
2019.
“We have heard people say Ikwerre
people said this and that about Wike. No, you have not heard anything. Ikwerre
people will speak in one loud voice in January.
“For more than 35 years Ikwerre
people were denied power in Rivers state before an Ikwerre man, Amaechi took
over and removed us from the dust.
“After few years another Ikwerre
takes over and you can see for yourself. This is not how Ikwerre people behave.
