I Will Suspend My Presidential Ambition If Buhari Will Be Running – Okorocha by Ehiscotch(m): 10:53am On Jul 25, 2017
Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has said
he will suspend his Presidential ambition in 2019 if
President Muhammadu Buhari will be running.
He said this in Owerri, the Imo State capital, when
he addressed youth delegates from all the geo-
political zones of the country, who paid him a
courtesy visit.

Okorocha stressed that President Buhari meant
well for the nation and should be given all the
support he deserved.
He added that he will not also run at any given time
unless 10 million Nigerians would endorse him.
The governor said: “I will not run in 2019 if
President Muhammadu Buhari will be running. Even
at that, I will not also run at any given time unless
10 million Nigerians endorse me.


“May I remind all of you that my joy this evening
has no bounds for the singular fact that the Hausa,
Yoruba, Igbo, Ijaw, northern minorities, western
and eastern minorities, Muslims and Christians and
others can sit down in a roundtable and speak like
members of one family. If only for this, my mission
for this nation is today achieved.

“I am an Igbo man with Igbo parentage. I was born
and raised in the north. The north gave me
education, guaranteed my childhood, even when I
was not worthy to be called anybody in this world.
“I did all my schooling— primary, secondary and
tertiary— in the northern part of this country. I
finished and needed to be successful and wealthy.
My encounter with someone from the South-West
gave me the financial empowerment.

“So you can see that in my person, I have no
choice whatsoever but to be a detribalized
Nigerian, having been born of Igbo parentage,
raised up by the North and empowered by the
West. Nigeria remains my constituency.
“Most of you may not know that I am not in politics
for self-aggrandizement or as a means to seek
livelihood. I am in this job for the glory of the job,
not for the profit and for the honour of this job, not
for the wealth in it.
“I believe that one day it will become a manifest
truth that somebody somewhere really cared for
this nation.
“In my quiet time have I gone through lamentations,
thinking about our nation and particularly. So is the
youth of Nigeria, believe me, if our youths are not
alright, our nation can never be alright.”

It is a shame that this 419ner is my state governor.If you can not pay civil servants and pensioners in your state,how can you effectively rule a country like Nigeria.

You are not in politics for self aggrandizement indeed,for two terms you did not conduct local government election,looting local government allocations,awarding government contracts to you family members and your fellow thieves.You have always been a fraudster.

In saner climes,people like you are behind bars or are facing social ostracism,but this is Nigeria where money is worshipped no matter how you made it.

You winning two terms made me believe that witchcraft is real.
