The Arewa Progressive Front, a political pressure group, has urged the Igbo to rally round Senator Rochas Okorocha, a former Imo State governor, to actualise the ambition to produce Nigerian President in 2023.

The group said Okorocha’s disposition as a detrabalized Nigerian, puts him at advantage over other Igbo contenders, adding that the North will throw it’s weight behind a candidate that puts the unity of the country above ethno-religious sentiments.

According to the group, the former governor, has pursued a united Nigeria, far before he joined partisan politics, which it said is evidenced in his free education programme that is open to all indigent children, irrespective of their ethnicity or religion.

Spokesperson of the group, Alhaji Ahmed Bawa, told reporters in Abuja, that Okorocha remains the best ticket that can guarantee the Igbo’s push for the presidency in 2023.According to him, “If the Igbo must make any cogent push for Nigerian presidency, then, they must be ready to project their best and most acceptable leaders. We are aware of campaign of calumny against the former governor, especially from his state, but we’re more comfortable with him than any other Igbo politician.



“No politician of Igbo extraction has assisted the North to solve the major challenge of out of school children as much as Okorocha has done through his free education programme. We have the records and the North will not ignore such huge investments”.

Bawa, who is also a chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), hinged the choice of Okorocha on the fact that he is “the most widely acceptable candidate from the pool of Igbo politicians angling for the Presidency at the moment.

“When you look at the potential or assumed aspirants for the presidency from the Southeast or the entire Igboland, you would agree with me, that none of them can boast of the kind of acceptability enjoyed by the former governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha.”

“Okorocha’s free education, his longstanding affinity with the North and his visible human capital investments across the length and breadth of Nigeria cannot be rivaled by any of those conspiring for the presidency from among the Igbo”.

The APC Chieftain, advised key Igbo groups and stakeholders to unite behind Okorocha in order to enhance the chances of an Igbo man becoming Nigerian President by 2023.

“I think the Igbos need to bury their political differences and pursue this project with a common front, else they may as well perish the thought of making an Igbo man President in 2023”, he stated.

Do you still want PMB to speak or you are okay with the twitter ban?

Jokes. The truth is that these people would still not vote him if he chooses to run for the presidency.

Story! Storee!

And Buhari you elected is one hell of detribalised Nigerian eh?

You can have Okorocha as much as you like. And Igbos in their typical way will not vote him.

If all want a quality Igbo person to lead Nigeria, they plenty for Nigeria. Not people like Okorocha or Orji Kali. May be to fulfill quota but again it will be same of same!
