Unlike Other Tribes That Play Real Politics, The Igbo Play Politics Like Traders, Says Okorocha

BY SAHARAREPORTERS, NEW YORKFEB 14, 2019



Rochas Okorocha, Governor of Imo State, says the Igbo play politics like traders, unlike other tribes that play "real politics".

He also urged his people to vote for President Muhammadu Buhari or forget a chance at an Igbo presidency, even in 2031.

Speaking on Wednesday at the zonal rallies for Okigwe and Owerri zones, organised in favour of President Muhammadu Buhari and other candidates for Saturday’s election.

He said: “Some people, especially our brothers, are campaigning now against President Buhari, saying he is Boko Haram and a herdsman.

“You can remember in 2015, I was telling the Igbo, to cast their votes for Buhari because he would win with or without the votes of the Igbo.

“I was called all sorts of derogatory names. Some said I was going to Islamise the whole Igbo. Is Igbo land Islamised today?

“Igbo, today, are playing politics with the mindset of traders, thinking only of the immediate benefits, unlike other tribes that are playing real politics.

“My people, listen to me and listen real good, whatever I tell you to do, do it as it will profit us. I’m telling you, today, that Buhari will win.

“On Saturday, if the Igbo support Buhari and he wins, in 2023, Igbo will have the right to demand Igbo presidency. Those who love Igbo nation must vote for President Buhari, because if we miss this chance, we may not get the presidency even by 2023, 2027 or 2031. The time is right for the Igbo nation to play the right politics, so as to have a clear chance by 2023.

“On Imo State governorship, the president advised that we all vote according to our conscience. Conscience in Igbo is ‘mee uche gi’, which translates to voting for Uche Nwosu. Nwosu is the only credible person among all those vying for the position. He has no dent or skeleton in his cupboard.

“His only sin is that he came from a poor background and by the grace of God married my daughter. Today, Action Alliance (AA) and APC have joined to form what is called perfect alliance

I say call your elders

Apc couldn't win rochas IMO state in 2015 when they were more united let alone now that there is confusion.
Only in anyone's wildest dream will a man from southeast que up to vote a buhari. Impossible

Everybody no say this man na otu-osha

Now they want to bring up tribal politics via divide and rule, when all the indices showing the growth of the Nation are totally flawed..

A REAL average Nigerian knows their is no tangible reason to vote the APC.

imagine disrespecting ur own tribe becus of a lifeless aboki, anyway back to daura is a must

Iberiberism defined. They should vote according to their conscience at governorship but must vote Buhari at Presidential. Hypocrite spotted.

Same way ibos are insulting their supreme leader because of an Established Cameroonian Thief.

Saw the thread yesterday on Twitter. He voted Buhari and less than a year he regretted it.

WITH OR WITHOUT MOFOS

Okorocha told Imo people that Uwajumogu would become deputy senate president . Imo people elected Uwajumogu but till now nothing has happened.

Bitter truth.

Ok. is that all? they have heard you. Oya go and get sense. Hehehe Igbos know a bad market when they see one. Until we see you seat on the table of those who make the decision of what happens in the APC then i guess Igbos too will start believing you. Gerrara here House Niqqa

nobody is an island, also applicable to other tribes. no single tribe can make one president in Nigeria
after all buhari couldn't win in 2003, 2007 and 2011 when only Hausas are supporting him

Imagine this iberiberism man.

PFRB:
Okorocha told Imo people that Uwajumogu would become deputy senate president . Imo people elected Uwajumogu but till now nothing has happened.

Okorocha is deluded, how did he think Uwajumogu would be deputu Senate President when Saraki was President with PDP support? To have made Uwajumogu Senate President would have meant removing Saraki himself and nobody had a stomach for that

Okorocha should tell us what Yorubas gained out of Obasunjo 8 year rule,

What Ijaws got out of GEJ's 5 year rule,

And what residents of Daura got of Buhari's 4 year rule


So this 2023 noise he keeps making as if the heavens will fall into Igbo land with the presidency of Nigeria should stop

Who president help.
What we want is total freedom of our land.




No referendum no election.

So sad.

Efulefu...Ewu Congo. Little wonder ur name is mazi nwamkpi okoroawusa@yahoo.com.

This fat fool is a disgrace to the Igbo race. Okorocha knows he’s lying.

Is it not just 5% ?

Buhari doesn't need their vote.
