Dear Governor Ezenwo Nyesom Wike, CON; Port Harcourt Belongs To Igbos
The West African Court of Appeal (WACA) judgement in the case between IKWERRE VS. OKRIKA in 1958 bordering on the status of Port Harcourt settled it.
WACA decided that Port Harcourt belongs to the Igbos. There was no appeal till date.
When the famous Nigerian author, retired Captain Elechi Amadi (12 May 1934 – 29 June 2016) was confronted with the WACA judgement by Ohaneze Ndi Igbo Counsel, he affirmed it and it was admitted in evidence.
His only remark was that "the Ikwerre people involved their wealthy Igbo brothers in litigation, fought for Port Harcourt under the shadow of their rich brothers against Okrika people and consequently, the court so ruled.
When asked whether he appealed against that judgement, he said NO.
That Port Harcourt is an Igbo city was a judgement of a superior court that has not been vacated.
The original inhabitants of Obigbo were mostly from Ngwa, Arochukwu and Owerri.
WIKE can never change History!!!
And it is my duty to bring history before those of you that try to put it down.
Rumuobiakani or Umuobiakani? You can change the story but not the truth."
