An Oyibo Dutch man identified as Wiebe Boer has denied nursing any political ambition in Nigeria.
News filtered out online that the European had declared his ambition to run for the office of Governor in Plateau State under the yet to be registered All For All Peoples Party.
In a swift reaction the entrepreneur posted an update on all his social media platforms including LinkedIn denying any intention to contest any election.
According to him, “It has come to my attention that posters implying that I am running for Governor of Plateau State under the name of Yohanna Maigona have gone viral. I am categorically stating that I have no intention of running for political office in Nigeria, and I am not eligible to do so.
The only truth to the insinuation is that I was born in Jos and raised in Taraba and Plateau States to Dutch missionary parents and have spent the last 12 years living in Lagos and serving Nigeria and Nigerians in various capacities. I have always been a staunch believer in the potential of Nigeria and will continue to support the country’s development from the sidelines.’
Notwithstanding the rumours, Wiebe continues to fraternise with indigenes of Plateau State:

hafi’i Muhammad Abddulhamid Guy, it is normal in Nigeria bro. We buy nominations forms for people, print campaign posters for them and then ask them to contest for a post . Local farmers just bought N100m presidential nomination form for the CBN governor without his consent . You gerrit.
cipal Solicitor and Director at AB Legal Services Ltd Bless you Wiebe, when I saw these posters on this platform, the lawyer in me first thought of your eligibility under the Nigerian constitution. You are deserving to be a Nigerian citizen in my opinion; but then again, I’m not in charge of amending the Nigerian constitution. Thanks for all you do for your country of birth, Nigeria. Allah ya saka da alheri. A gaida gida.
