A petition asking the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, and the entirety of the European and Asian continents to revoke the visa of Rivers State Governor Nyesom Wike has received virtually 239,864 signatures on change.org.
Governor Wike, according to the petitioners, was allegedly sabotaging Rivers’ electoral system.
Onyebuchi Ezeagabu, the progenitor of the petition, claimed that Wike was “operating to destroy the electoral process” and called for the cancellation of the governor’s and his family’s visas.
Ezeagabu wrote, “The Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike, has been operating to destroy the electoral process in the state he governs.
“We demand that the visa eligibility for him and his family be revoked immediately.
“He is stirring up violence in Rivers State because he feels can travel out of the country at any time.”
A signee, Amechi Victor said, “He is against democracy in Nigeria. He just manipulated election results.”
Another person who supported the petition, Ugochi Agua-Onyekwelu, wrote, “This man has caused a lot of trouble and thuggery in the Nigerian political scene. He is always inciting people against the Igbos and have actually carried out the killing of thousands of Igbo men in his state at Obigbo, PH. He believes so much in violence and talks carelessly like a lout.”
