Ohanaeze Ndigbo reacts to calls for Wike's sack
In a statement by Mazi Okechukwu Isiguzoro, secretary general of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, the opposition political parties were urged to allow Wike to focus on his duties and not politicking, Daily Independent reported.
The Igbo socio-political group described the Abuja protests as a cheap political goal aimed at distracting Wike, who is one of the pillars of Tinubu’s administration.
Isiguzoro stated that Nigerians know that President Tinubu is an experienced leader and father of the nation.
He expressed confidence that Tinubu could catch a glimpse of the opposition's grandstanding to weaken his administration through childish protests.
Ohanaeze Ndigbo stated thus:
"Ethno religious sentiments should not be brought into every facet of our national development! Competence and capacity to deliver infrastructural and economic development in fact should be the watchword! And there is no doubt that Wike has the track record.”
