Biafra: Why Wike will die like Ken Saro-Wiwa – Nnamdi Kanu

Leader of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, has declared that Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State will end up like Ken Saro-Wiwa, the late Ogoni-born environmental activist.

The IPOB leader was reacting to a recent report where the Ogoni people in Rivers State pleaded with the Federal Government to halt the ongoing construction of a prison facility and a cemetery on their land.

In a Facebook post on Tuesday, Kanu recalled, “A little over 50 years ago, a young pretender to the throne Wike is aspiring to occupy today, by the name Ken Saro Nwiwa, later named Wiwa, just as Nwike is now Wike instead of Nwike by removing the first letter ‘N’ in his Igbo surname, made the mistake of betraying his own, the people of Biafra.

He said, “Wike, this is the same prize you will pay for your betrayal of Biafra but yours will be worse because the name Wike will no longer exist.”

Kanu warned that this should serve as an important lesson to the people of Ogoni and all those supporting Governor Wike, adding that “You all must know that betrayal of your people never pays.”
