Rochas Okorocha is accusing the Igbo Nation of myopia but his argument is in fact coated and covered with the very myopia he accuses his people off!

Rochas' only regrets is that we have no ranking Senator under APC to make Senate President from the South East. If the APC truly want to be inclusive they can elect Ike Ekweremadu or any PDP Senator from the East as the Senate President. The ruling party can back a member of another party to emerge the Senate President! If what this truly is about is inclusiveness!

You get the sense that what is at play here is not a quest to include Igbos but a childish attempt to win votes. Its all about April 11.

Need I remind Okorocha that in this 4th republic, we have had a few Senate Presidents. From Wagbara to Okadigbo to Anyim to Enwerem to Nnamani! Our aspiration as Igbos in Nigeria should be a little bit more sophisticated than just producing a Senate President. The Senate President is one man! amongst million of Igbos. The notion that all we should want as a people is to make one man Senate President is indeed myopic!

There was a Confab report that would have redefined what it means to be a modern Nigerian, where we had the debate about devolution of power and true federalism. The relationship between the State vs Individual. Implementing that report will change the lives of all Nigerians including ALL Igbos! Jonathan promised to implement the recommendations of that Report. APC refused to participate in the excersize. And have not pledged to implement the recommendations of that report. This for me is why APC has no place in Igbo land.

The truth is Rochas Okorocha is not worried about Igbos and we know this. Rochas is worried about Rochas political future and winning the next election in a weeks time. His betrayal of the trust of Imo State people will be punished at the polls on April 11.

Finally Nigeria needs a strong PDP. Nigeria needs a strong opposition party. Ndigbo need a strong PDP. The welfare state that Buhari and his APC are promising can not be sustained without a tax hike on small businesses and traders. We have seen this kind of attitude in Lagos and they will try to bring that to the Center. Ndigbo need a PDP that can provide an alternative platform to challenge the tax and spend policies of APC that may punish entrepreneurs and hardworking Nigerians!

APC are only interested in conquering the East!

Did PDP share any post with the opposition ?You have lost that position and it should be given to another region ,You will get ministerial positions

mikeansy:


nobody is asking for this position

APC will form its new Government after May 29th

dropping the argument about Senate Presidency on the eve of State elections is suspicious and is being done with clandestine motives!

If you read my post that is the point I am making

emmysoftyou:
he should be worry abt igbos when igbos are not worried abt themselves..
Must it be rochas alone pushing the igbo political achievement?
well,rochas has other problems apart frm ndigbo political position..
this just concluded election has taught ndiigbo a lesson not to put their heads in one basket.

really? We have produced Senate President before incase you did not notice. It is not such a big deal!

when will it be fair for an Igbo to be number 1?

I thought Rochas contested for the APC ticket? How many votes did he get?

We are watching. If APC truly stands for True Federalism then let them put it on the front burner and make it the cardinal point of their agenda.

We dont even need ministerial positions. We hage been surviving without it even during Buhari military presidency.

Inclusiveness is not about something for something. If APC want the support of Igbos then they need policies that can attract Igbos.

Senate Presidency and Ministerial positions if not the way to go about it. The Igbos are in PDP for a reason.

Need I remind you that once upon a time majority of Yorubas supported the AD or AC or ACN and now APC

olas24u:



Did you people support rochas ,chewas okorie is also an igbo man ,did you people support him?Is GEJ an Igbo man ?Rochas is an intelligent politician and he knows that to achieve his future ambition of becoming president ,you will need to work with other ethnic nationality.If you play it right ,people will support Igbo presidency.You people need to introduce some courses in you schools to help organise the brains that are already corrupt with this Biafra slogan.

PDP rigged APGA out in the Senatorial and House of Representatives Elections.

There's is no clear Igbo identity at the moment. The blind support for Goodluck Jonathan has backfired.[/s]

olas24u:
APC stands for true federalism,GEJ was playing politics with the report .He should have implemented it.

PentiumPro:
The Easterners want to blackmail the rest of Nigeria for their own political miscalculation.
APC should not succumb to this. APC benefit nothing from the SE.

IGBOSON2:


^^^There's true federalism and then there's true federalism according to APC!

The confab report (as watered down as it is) is at cross-purposes with the interests of the 'owners of Nigeria' so forget any romantic notions of true federalism in this country!

Gasout:
IGBOS HAVE FORGOTING THAT THE NORTHERNER OWNS PDP. DON'T REBUILD PDP THAT HAS FALL, INSTEAD BUILD A NEW OPPOSITION PARTY THAT HAVE A FRESH, CONVINCING AND CAPTIVATING AGENDA. LEARN FROM THE YORUBAS HW THEY GRADUALLY BUILD ACN. BUT I DOUBT IF THEY COULD...' WHERE IS APGA?' JUST ASKING?....

IGBOSON2:


^^^Quick question: Do you think the Easterners CAN blackmail the rest of Nigeria as you say?

Alex Ekwueme na northerner ? Or Hausa man?

The defence and renaissance of the PDP will start from the East!
