Activist and politician Omoyele Sowore on Friday accused former Rivers State governor and current Federal Capital Territory (FCT) Minister, Nyesom Wike, of diverting $300 million meant for Ogoniland’s remediation and development.
In a post on X, Sowore alleged that the funds were channelled into the construction of a chain of supermarkets in Port Harcourt.
“Reports indicate that Nyesom Ezenwo Wike funnelled the funds into constructing a chain of supermarkets in Port Harcourt,” Sowore wrote.
He added that the matter was referenced in a document presented by an Ogoni delegation to President Bola Tinubu at the Aso Rock Villa earlier this week.
Sowore, the leader of the #RevolutionNow movement, vowed to continue pressing for accountability. “We will not stop until @GovWike is brought to justice or justice is brought to him for the unprecedented looting, killings, and destruction he has wrought on Nigerians across board,” he declared.
As of the time of filing this report, Wike has not publicly responded to the allegations. (Extracted from an AriseNews TV report)
