Nigeria was the 3rd fastest growing economy under GEJ/PDP. Now, Nigeria is no longer part of 10 top fastest growing economy in Africa under the Buhari.

What a fabulous achievement for Buhari. Nigeria is now one of the fastest retrogressing economy under Buhari .

No way for any other politician in 2019 as far as PMB is still contesting.

And if you doubt me, tell us who you think has a 50% chance of defeating him?
If you think Buhari is the only person qualify out of 170million Nigerians then we have more reasons to worry.

Buhari had always stood a chance but for rigging.

Go check records.
Stood a chance when?
Which year was that? And who rigged his election and please make the records open?

Nigerians are the most forgetful people in the universe.

Nigerians are the most forgetful people in the universe.

A man who, in 2003 singlehandedly scored 12.7 million (32% of all votes) votes against the rigging machine of PDP, who got 12.2 million (still 32%) against GEJ in 2011 despite the massive rigging still, is the man you say he never stood a chance?

If anyone is forgetful or lazy to check records, it's you.

GOVERNOR ROCHAS OKOROCHA SAYS HE WON’T RUN FOR PRESIDENCY IN 2019 BECAUSE OF PRESIDENT BUHARI

 

Governor of Imo State and the chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Governors’ Forum, Owelle Rochas Okorocha has said that he won’t contest the 2019 presidential election because of President Mohammadu Buhari, adding that the President has so far shown leadership and should be encouraged to that effect.

 

Governor Okorocha had spoken weekend while answering questions from senior media practitioners who he had conducted around some of the key projects of his administration stressing that his long-time desire for the presidency of the country has been to provide the much needed leadership, and said since President Buhari has shown that kind of courageous, visionary and people-oriented leadership, the best bet for him at the moment is to encourage and support him to continue beyond 2019.

 

He continued, “Yes, I have been running for the presidency of this great nation until God said I should settle for the Imo governorship. And that passion to become the president of the country is not just borne out of the thirst for the position, but had arisen out of the eagerness to offer the nation and her people a strong leadership, the essence would be to build a nation of our collective dreams and aspirations.”

 

He further remarked “President Buhari came in almost one year now and within the one year, Nigeria has once again got the doors of the rest of the world opened for her. He has shown courage, confidence, maturity and strong leadership. There is now high feelings of leadership in the country.

 

According to him, “what the President therefore needs in the circumstance is to be supported and encouraged to continue the good work even after 2019. For that reason, I have decided to keep my presidential ambition aside. It is also believed that others with such ambition would also want President Buhari to be given the required support to continue the good job, to a very large extent.”

 

Governor Okorocha also urged the media personnel in the project tour to also appreciate what President Buhari is doing for the nation at the moment by backing his policies and programmes in the overall interest of the nation, noting that the President has so far shown quality leadership.

 

The Imo Governor said, “God loves this country, and had also shown such love by making it possible for Buhari to emerge as President, because if the PDP had been allowed to continue in power beyond 2015, the nation and her people would have been in for it by now.

 

He urged Nigerians to continue to pray for the president.

Okorocha is the only option for an Eastern president to emerge due to his ties with the North.

The East isn't interested in the Presidency. The office of the president isn't worth anything. All it has done is produce one nincompoop after the other since 1966 when it was created by military fiat to date. I pray none of my fellow Igbos ever steps foot in there because he or she will be messed up. We do not need the cursed office of president of Nigeria.

During the last election Kowa party candidate was the man for me. The shortcut to change Nigeria is vote out PDP/APC in any election. They are the same people with coat of many colors, take it or not. We should leave above social media, newspaper campaigning, and propaganding of candidate. With the type of politics we play down here, these big parties can rebrand even boko haram leader for president, etc.

Okorocha knows too well that he will fail from his country home Ogboko let alone his Ideato South LGA. He should support biafra cause than beating about the bush canvassing for favour from buhari which will nt work.

Who me? My brother, I am sooo far away and removed from that. I am praying for you all. Stay strong. Meanwhile, try and plant vegetables of all sorts on that little piece of land behind your house. Tell your friends and family to do the same. Peace.
