Rivers governor, Wike Nyesom has openly declared his support for Nnamdi Kanu and the indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).
The governor who doubles as a presidential aspirant made this known in an interview where he stated that there is “nothing wrong” with IPOB’s agitation but he is against the fact that they are violent as he urges the Federal Government to sort things out with the group.
In his words, he said;
“IPOB is not a threat to me, it’s because of the division in the country that we have the kind of agitation we have today.
“There was a time IPOB was singing praises of Wike, Nnamdi Kanu was singing praises about Wike that he is our son.
“There is nothing wrong in people agitating but all the Federal Government should do is listen to their agitations, talk with them; there is nothing wrong about that.
“My problem came when they came to my state and burnt infrastructure like the courts, police stations, and I said told them not to do that.
“Whether anybody likes it or not, I support the agitation, I support that we should sit down and discuss the marginalization of the Southeast.
“I’m a governor and I asked them, do you need to kill people in my area, destroy infrastructures put in place for you to know I’m with you? I said no; I won’t do that.”
