The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, FCT, Nyesom Wike, on Sunday declared that he is not an Igbo man.
He disclosed this during a media chat in Abuja on Sunday
while responding to the emergence of John Azuta Mbata as the President-General
of Ohanaeze Ndigbo.
Azuta Mbata was elected as Ohanaeze’s President-General in
Imo State a few weeks ago. His emergence followed the death of former
President-General Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu and the completion of his tenure by
Fidelis Nze Chukwu.
Speaking about Mbata, Wike declared: “I’m an Ikwerre man,
not an Igbo man. I don’t have a problem with Igbo people.
“Azuta Mbata has the right to associate with anybody. I’m an
unrepentant Ikwerre man, and I’m not a member of Ohanaeze.
“I will never, for anything, deny my identity just to be
recognised.”
