A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Rivers State, Chidi Wihioka, has accused a former governor of the state, Rotimi Amaechi, of attempting to change the history of Ikwerre people.
Wihioka, a former member of the House of Representatives, alleged that the Minister of Transportation has been telling Nigerians that Ikwerre people are Igbos because he wants to become president.
Wihioka, who is a loyalist of Magnus Abe, stated this while speaking at an event held in Ikwerre Local Government Area of the state on Sunday.

According to him: “This is a man that wants to turn the history of Ikwerre land and said Ikwerre is Igbo. We are ashamed of him. Ikwerre can never be Igbo.
“We have our history and we have our record. You cannot rewrite our record because you want to be president. If you want to be something your brothers and sisters would know. As far as we are concerned, we have not given any approval to whoever that is talking about him.”
