Nigerian Born White Man Denies Running for Plateau Governorship

Wiebe Boer, a Jos-born Dutchman, has denied rumors that he is running for Plateau Governorship in the 2023 elections.

Boer, who is also the CEO of an energy company called All On, raised the alarm after posters claiming he was competing for the position under a different identity went viral.

In a message on his LinkedIn profile, the founding CEO of the Tony Elumelu Foundation debunked the posters, stating that he had no intention of running for any political office in Nigeria.

He stated he was aware of the viral poster claiming that he is running for Nigerian Born White Man Denies Running for Plateau Governorship under the name Yohanna Maigona in a LinkedIn post on Monday.

Boer stated unequivocally that he had no intention of running for political office in Nigeria and is ineligible to do so.

According to him, the sole truth to the allegations is that he was born in Jos and raised in Taraba and Plateau States by Dutch missionary parents, and that he has spent the last 12 years in Lagos serving Nigeria and Nigerians in various positions.

He is stated to have always believed in Nigeria’s potential and will continue to support the country’s development from a distance.

It seem many Nigerian bought the idea thinking it could the best decision ever made to salvage our current situation in the country. Below is a post a Facebooker, Idris Mohammed;

PLATEAU STATE HERE WE GO……

Plateau State politicians have met their tough opposition especially those that are vying for the Plateau State governorship position in 2023.

His real name is Wiebe Boer and his Hausa name is Yohanna Maigona. He is from Netherlands and naturalised in Nigeria long time ago. This Dutch Nigerian man declared his interest to join the 2023 Plateau State governorship race with a political party that is not registered in Nigeria yet. The name of this political party is All for All Peoples Party.

As this Dutchman declared his interest to be a politician in Nigeria, It was unclear if Mr. Maigona is serious about his interest to join the governorship race in Nigeria as the political party of his choice is not one of Nigerian political parties.

This white man attended his secondary School in Nigeria according to report and has been in Nigeria for many years. He can speaks Hausa language fluently which can help him during governorship campaign if he is serious about it.

He is the Chief Executive Officer of one the popular energy industries in Africa, which specialized in renewable energy like solar power. This white man has an affiliation with Pan African Writers Association.
