A guy said Imolites would vote out Rochas Okorocha in the forthcoming election and here is what Sooroptimist1 replied him

Sooroptimist1:


Please vote him out of power so that when your allocation gets slashed and the opposition government you install tax you all to death in order to run the state, you wont say you were not told

Most of you are just so full of hate that you wont mind to cut your nose to spite your face

If you dont know, there is an inherent advantage in aligning with a friendly ruling government at the centre

GEJ tactically reduce the allocation to most opposition states citing crude oil theft and reduced oil price while giving leverage to PDP states through the ecological funds to shore up their dwindled allocation in order to make workers and citizens in the opposition states to cry and blame their Governors for owing them many months salary

While Osun workers wailed and whined about Aregbesola owing few months salary, did you hear Ekiti workers make so much noise? That is the advantage of being with the ruling party... a style started by OBJ which Jonathan has also perfected....which is to stifle opposition states of their funds in order to turn opinion poll against them while feeding well its own controlled states


So Imolites should vote out Rochas so that when the new Governor start feeling the cash crunch and seeks to transfer the pain on you the masses,you will perfectly understand the import of your sill.y decisions

Instead of you to be happy that Imo will enjoy more attention and patronage from the APC FG,you want to cut your head due to Okorocha's headache

Kontinu

Am fairly certain Ngige would have been the next senate president had he not been voted out simply because he was in APC. Please this is the time for our South East brothers to cut their loses by supporting APC candidtes in their respective states.

I do hope barcanista and babyosisi would read, see reason with and support this idea of supporting APC candidates in the East especially Rochas, so that he can have a shot at the presidency in 2023.

Trashy post, even as the op didn't credit the original writer!

If Rochas is deemed not to have performed credibly, and another who is better able to deliver for Imo comes around, Rochas is history!

You can keep you allocation, our people say, "We didn't grow teeth because of another man's yam!"


An Igboland absent APC will give us time and room from introspection; I say VOTE OUT ROCHAS!

If Rochas is booted out, I am sure he can contest with Amaechi for the position of Chief errand boy in Buhari's cabinet! Buhari probably need him more than Imo do.

His welfarist policies has left Imo State short on developmental strides!

Imolites should not make the mistake of voting Rochas out. I personally think he is the best governor in Imo state since 1999. Also I see Rochas as a rising star in the East and might end up becoming the first Igbo President. Rochas is love in the north for standing with Buhari even against the wish of his people. Also Rochas is very fluent in Hausa because he was born and grew up in the north. Rochas is the only Igbo man that I think can win election in the north if the presidency is zone to the Igbos by the 2 major parties.
I really hope the people of Imo should vote for Rochas due to his performance as a governor and the potential of him being a national Igbo leader that would protect the cause of the Igbos in the new federal government

If he gets enough votes, why not? But no one is going to vote him on some petty talks like keeping a SE state in APC! Let him face the people, and let them decide his fate according to the measure of promises he made and what he delivered!

Those of you telling Igbos to vote for APC because it is at the centre are beginning to sound eerily like PDP. Since you are suffering from selective amnesia, allow me to remind you why the APC became a formidable opposition:
Tinubu and Lagosians refused to sacrifice their political convictions on the alter of central validations and approvals. Learn a thing or two from that.

Nigeria still needs PDP, now, more than ever. Nigeria needs a strong opposition to put the APCs on their toes and if that opposition comes from the Ibo block, so be it! I personally cannot wait for a culturally Ibo but truly pan Nigerian lady or gentleman to become Nigeria's president. Ibos must protect their political convictions against this onslaught from short-sighted strategists. APGA could have been a formidable block, but sold out to the PDP and has been usurped accordingly. Now, the spirit of APGA can still survive in the PDP. But keep your political relevance intact and follow your hearts

he will become politically irrelevant in the Nigeria politics. A state governor in Nigeria is very influential in Nigeria politics than a minister. If he loses this election it will damage his political carreer.

He had four years to convince Imolites of his worth;

He must be weighed, examined, and for his mediocre performance booted out! We need developmental politician, not a rising politician!

I do not think the Igbos will or should sell their consciences/votes on the basis of political party affiliations. Even if all SE governors aren't APC members, it's fine. Maybe it'll make d Igbo leaders look inwards, join forces and develop the SE region across board such that it becomes the envy of other regions.

A little off tangent though, I know the 13% derivation accorded oil bearing/producing states has been a pain in d neck of d North. Now they are in power I hope it's not their plan to cut that off cos it will note bode well for d economy. That said, God bless Nigeria.

True! We need some moment to assess things and 're strategize, an APC free Igboland is very crucial at this moment.

I hope Imolites come out to vote, many are psychologically down this moment, if they don't come out to vote, it makes Rochas victory easy.


Buhari, I am sure would reward Mallam Rochas with a ministerial post.

Anambra has done their part by voting out Ngige, imo must do their part.

Concerning opposition to the central govt, nobody with hold what is accruable to you cos you are in opposition, the case of osun is that they borrowed excessively and the central govt had to deduct their allocation.

Igbos will be the last people to vote APC IN THE SOUTH EAST.



We will be sticking with PDP ahead of 2019, if Buhari serve out GEJ tenure. The only other alternative is APGA.




Igbo President or Biafra wil be actualised by 2019.

you have hatred for Rochas because of him supporting Buhari. If Rochas was still in APGA you would have been one of the individuals campaigning for him. In terms of performance, Rochas is one of the best Igbo governor in this present Republic. He has done a lot for Imo state than the previous PDP governors. I have been to Owerri during Ohakim tenure and I can see the difference between his government and the previous government. Besides that Emeka Ihiedioha is no different from Ohakim and Rochas is far better than him. Apart from the Enugu Gov Chime, PDP governors has failed the Igbos.
Its an insult to call Ameachi an errand boy. Ameachi is the best governor in Rivers state and he is love by Rivers people. You are just sentimental because Ameachi and Rochas supported APC without considering their leadership style and performance in their respective states
