Press Statement
Exposing Ugochinyere’s Deceptive Tactics, to Destroy PDP for APP
It is an undeniable fact that His Excellency, Nyesom Wike, has become a target of organized misinformation and orchestrated chaos by individuals masquerading as defenders of the people. One such figure is Hon. Onyinye Ikeagwuonu, also known as Ikenga Imo Ugochinyere, the self-proclaimed spokesperson of the defunct CUPP. His recent baseless accusations against the FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, and the PDP National Working Committee (NWC) are nothing but a calculated effort to tarnish their reputation and stir unnecessary tension among the youth of Rivers State and the PDP.
Ikenga’s actions are characterized by insincerity, with exaggerated claims of injustice and intimidation by Wike and the PDP. These claims conveniently mask his true agenda—to destabilize Rivers State and discredit those working tirelessly to restore peace within the PDP. Ikenga’s well-worn tactic of using media campaigns to sway public sentiment against the FCT Minister and the PDP is nothing new. For years, his modus operandi has been to use propaganda to erode public trust and incite unrest for his personal gain.
It is particularly troubling that Ikenga pretends to care for the people of Rivers State, despite not being a native or a legitimate voice for them. His history as a serial blackmailer and political opportunist is well-documented, and his current actions against Wike and the PDP should be recognized as a strategic move to weaken the party while strengthening the APP, which he controls. His sudden interest in Rivers State is not about justice but a self-serving attempt to further his personal political ambitions.
It is important to set the record straight: Ikenga owes his current position in the National Assembly to the very individuals he now seeks to vilify. In 2022, Ikenga approached Governor Wike for help, pledging loyalty in exchange for political support. Wike, recognizing his potential, sponsored his campaign and intervened multiple times to ensure Ikenga received the PDP ticket, despite serious issues surrounding his dual membership in both the APP and PDP, which should have disqualified him. Today, Ikenga’s continued attacks on Wike and the PDP are a betrayal of the very people who helped him rise to power.
Ikenga’s representation of Ideato Federal Constituency has been nothing short of disappointing. For the past 17 months, he has abandoned his constituency, focusing instead on external battles in Rivers State, while neglecting the pressing needs of Ideato. Our people have been left without proper representation, and the actions of Ikenga, who spends more time on television than in his constituency, have brought nothing but regret to those who voted him into office.
We acknowledge the fact that every human is subject to mistake, and the FCT minister is not immune to this reality.
However, what Ikenga, Fubara and their collaborators fail to highlight is the commendable work done by this man called Nyesom Wike to them individually and collectively; He picked Governor Fubara from where he was LGA staff as an Accountant in his Local Government.
He mentored and natured Fubara from that year until he made him a governor, Fubara is the luckiest civil servant in history of Rivers State, as his set is currently in level 13 now, but Fubara has reached level 17 and was the Accountant General of the state and he is now the governor, all by Nyesom Wike making.
So where is the injustice? Somebody did all that for Fubara and you want to vilify him for asking for Fubara’s loyalty? Ikenga, your propaganda and Media campaign will never discredit Wike’s efforts in human capital development, which Gov Fubara and Hon Ugochinyere Ikeagwuonu are the highest beneficiary in Rivers State and outside the State respectively.
This is one question begging for an urgent answer, “Does it mean that Rivers State has no representative like him in that same Federal House to speak for them?”
“Have this Honourable members in any way interfered in Ideato politics or Imo State matters before?”
Why will Ugochinyere leave Ideato for Rivers state if not for his selfish agenda to deep hands into the Rivers State Treasury,
Though he takes pride as the only man that eats where he did not work, but this present scenario is too obvious to keep quiet.
We, the people of Ideato, reject Ikenga’s actions and dissociate ourselves from his disgraceful behavior. We cannot support the insults he directs at national leaders like Nyesom Wike, who has done so much for the party and the nation. Ikenga’s naked dance of shame must stop, and he should return to focus on his legislative duties for the good of Ideato.
We call on the Federal House of Representatives to hold Ikenga accountable for abandoning his constituency. Ideato deserves better, and we demand that our representative think of home and leave Rivers State to the people of Rivers. Enough is enough.
