Niger Delta’s elder statesman and activist, Chief Anabs Sara-Igbe, has alleged that the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, was disowned by his father for betraying his family.
This is coming hours after the FCT Minister, in an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today’s programme on Friday, revealed his family background with his father portrayed as a decently rich man.
Wike had disclosed his background in response to former Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi, who questioned his source of wealth.
However, as against Wike’s narratives of his background, Chief Anabs disclosed that the FCT Minister was disowned by father for allegedly betraying the family.
The Niger Delta further recounted how he betrayed the person who adopted him.
“Wike started this merchant with his family as a young boy and that was why his father disowned him as a youth and he was adopted by the late Uwarie Uhurubebe.
“After betrayed his family and the father disowned him, that was not enough. He betrayed the the israel family by plotting to remove Timothy Isiribu as a chairman of the local government, the man who brought him. The man through whom I know him.’ He said.
Anabs further accused Wike of betraying Amaechi for political favour from former Nigerian President, Goodluck Jonathan, who he also allegedly betrayed with attempt to take over the ex-President’s father-in-law.
“Thereafter, after he proceeded. Amaechi made him chief of staff and recommended him to be a minister.
“He betrayed Amaechi before Jonathan and his wife for political gain as a merchant. Jonathan and his wife thought Wike was a good man, but at the end of result Jonathan lost his election because of the fallout of that betrayal.
“Amaechi at the time pull out of the PDP and fought him. And the end result was Jonathan at a lost the election.
“That was not the end. He started insulting Jonathan and his wife to the extent that it took the land, the property belonging to do Jonathan’s wife’s father; demolish it and shared it to two persons, Joy Edude and his lawyer.
“Mrs Jonathan had to use force to recover her father’s property. That is payment for betrayal.” He said.
This according to the Niger Delta chieftain did not end there as Wike also allegedly betrayed former Anambra state governor, Peter Obi, and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) with his acceptance of the Ministerial appointment by President Bola Tinubu.
He labelled the FCT Minister as a merchant and pathological liar.
“It did not end there. We also hear all to the things he said about Obi.
“He betrayed Obi. He betrayed his political party. Yes here was a man who said Oh APC was a cancer, PDP malaria.
“At the end of the day, because of poverty, because of this attitude as a merchant, he betrayed the party for a ministerial appointment. He went to the cancer. We all know that Wike is a pathological liar. He thrives with lying” He added.
