Port Harcourt, Rivers State — The political landscape of the Garden City is shaking following a "nuclear" allegation leveled against the immediate past Chairman of Obio/Akpor LGA, Hon. Chijioke Ihunwo.
In a viral development that has sent shockwaves through the National Youth Council of Nigeria (NYCN)circles, a factional youth chairman, Amb. Chimenem Worlu, has publicly called on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to arrest Ihunwo with "immediate effect."
The "Receipts": $50k, N500m, and More Missing?
Amb. Chimenem Worlu didn't just make accusations; he dropped specific figures that have left Rivers youths fuming. According to Worlu, the former Obio/Akpor boss allegedly "squandered" funds meant for youth empowerment and infrastructure.
The Breakdown of Allegations:
The $50,000 Empowerment Fund (2019): Worlu claims Nyesom Wike gave $50k for youth empowerment, but Ihunwo allegedly pocketed $40,000, leaving only $10k for youths across all 23 LGAs.
The N500 Million Secretariat Scam: It is alleged that Wike released N500 million for a dedicated Youth Secretariat, but the project was never realized, and the funds are "missing."
The N200 Million "Gift": Another N200 million meant for the youth body was allegedly diverted.
The N400 Million AGIP Contract: Worlu claims an oil giant (Agip) awarded a N400 million contract to Rivers youths, but Ihunwo allegedly sidelined everyone and kept the proceeds.
"Without Wike, He Can't Buy Ice Cream"
In a stinging personal jab that is currently the top trending quote in Port Harcourt, Worlu claimed that Ihunwo’s entire wealth and political career were built solely by the Minister of the FCT.
"Without Nyesom Wike, Chijioke Ihunwo cannot buy ice cream. Wike made him who he is today, from contracts to job slots... I have evidence and written documents to prove my claim," Worlu asserted.
