Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha, in a press release has made public he's intention that he is considering running for President in 2015.
According to the press release:

Against the backdrop of SunNews' report, the Imo State government wishes to put the record straight with regard to the ambition of the Imo State Governor in 2015.
And to also correct the impression that the Imo State Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha is in the race for the Vice-Presidential slot of the APC, as the Daily Sun caption had suggested.

The truth of the matter is that Governor Okorocha is not in the VP race in APC.
There has been unprecedented pressure on the governor by Nigerians from all walks of life to vie for the Presidency and he has been consulting on that.

His consultations have not been on the VP slot but on the presidency and at the end of the consultations, he would decide whether to throw his hat into the ring for the presidential race or not.
The pressure is also on the Imo governor by well meaning citizens of Imo State, including the artisans, farmers, traders, students, etal in the state to ensure the completion of the transformation he has begun in the state by seeking re-election in 2015.

And the governor is also yet to decide on that.
However, it is also good that the stakeholders said to have met according to the Daily Sun story where the name of the governor was mentioned for the VP race must have seen the qualities in him and what his administration has been doing in Imo that made them to consider him for the VP position.

While we appreciate that, the fact remains that Governor Okorocha is not in the race for VP for 2015. However, everything depends on God who gives power.

if he gets the APC ticket, it will definitely sway the Ibos to firmly embrace APC. they way Ibos treat APC now is so disgusting. they call it all sorts of name, yoruba party, islamic party, terrorist party etc. that explains largely why ngige failed in Anambra.

*Exits to prevent e-kill*

igbos i know too well are relatively bigoted and has eternal hatred for anything that has the color of yoruba on it. igbos can work with only hausas but not with yorubas. this thing started from the time of the great zik. as for rochas, he is wasting his time because igbos will rether vote jona than voting him. igbo kwenu, abi i lie?

YOU NO LIE AT ALL BUT WE NO HATE YOROBBERS

You this flat head please keep quiet

AKUNWATA1: YOU NO LIE AT ALL BUT WE NO HATE YOROBBERS yorubas

fixed

we northerners will vote rochas ahead of any yoruba despite the hate being spread by fani kayode. we northerners owns APC at least 85%.

Imposible. No Igbo will vote Rochas. Rochas knows it. His failure will start from his ward.

But wait o, Alhaji Ibrahim Rocha Balogun Okorocha is from the north na, why does he want to contest in Igboland?

I'm really praying this happens, so Imo is set free from this megalomaniac's schizophrenic leadership.
Here's how:

Being in the run for the presidency, that makes him ineligible for a second term at that same year, so he's left with no option but to set up his gay deputy Madumere for his place.
Madumere, being the nobody he is, suffers humiliating defeat at the hands of the APGA candidate and rightful governor, Martin Agbaso.
Rochas, at his own end, suffers humiliating defeat at the hands of GEJ.

Alternatively...
Rochas' desperation for presidency rips the APC party to shreds, with in-house sabotage taking place... Ending with bone-shattering defeat at every tier in Nigeria - from federal to state to LGA.

The end.

I seriously wouldn't hold my breath, bro.

do you know that rochas is partly from the north? that will work in his favour against GEJ.

Isn't Fashola coming out for 2015? I admire his principles as a Leader even though he had his flaws. Imho he represents the true South Western man. Am sure he would do a very good job in that office, sentiments aside
