Why It Will Be Hard For An Igbo To Become President – Okorocha by sirequity(m): 4:22pm On Aug 13, 2018
ROCHAS Okorocha, Imo State Governor. has said it will be hard if not impossible for Igbos to produce a president from their extraction.

Mr Okorocha said this is because of the pull-him-down syndrome the Igbos are naturally made of.

The governor reportedly stated this while fielding questions from newsmen on Sunday at the Government House, Owerri.

According to Punch Newspaper, he regretted that the Igbo failed to honour their leaders unlike what obtained in the other parts of the country.

“The Igbo do not know how to honour their own. They rather like to run down any of their rising leaders. The pull-him-down syndrome is high in Igbo land. And it is very unfortunate. Anytime I come out to run for the Presidency of this country, I will not suffer pull-him-down from the North or from the South-West or South South, it is only in Igbo land that I will suffer it,” Okorocha said.

“And they engage in this pull-him-down practice without knowing the overall implications on the Igbo. So, it will be out of place for an Igbo Presidential aspirant at any given period to think that the Igbo will make him President because the Igbo do not value their own. They don’t value what they have, but value outsiders. It is in their character. It is in their nature.

“Read the newspapers and go to the social media, all the insults and attacks you get are all from the Igbo. They go to any length to run you down without caring about your good intentions and all the efforts being made to see that things work out fine for the people of the area. It is a problem. It didn’t start today. Go down the memory lane, you discover that the pull-him-down syndrome in Igbo land didn’t start today,” he said.

The governor also declared a two day holiday in the state for the collection of Permanent Voters’ Card (PVC).

Okorocha declared Wednesday, August 15, and Thursday August 16, 2018 as public holidays, “to enable all Imo people qualified to have the PVC, but do not have them to go and collect theirs for elections in Nigeria.”

This guy statement is always gibberish.. He thinks the hausa will really support him Let him stop this fantasy.



If your region is highly developed. I don't see any reason you should make a fuss about presidency. This Igbo presidency thing is just a charade

For once this guy made a point. the igbos have the pull-him-down syndrome running in their veins, they will hardly appreciate their own unlike the alamajiris in the north who have the BUILD-HIM-UP syndrome. a clear example is dis issue of buhari, d almajiris are stil supporting d tyrant despite the fact that he wants to kill them with hunger

The presidency of Nigeria is no longer the overriding concern of most Igbos.

Okorocha has been denounced by Igbo Amaka long ago. He is an osu with Arewa blood and a little drop of Afonja.

But they didn't pull Nnamdi Kanu down, did they? But someone like you, I don't see why they shouldn't drag you by the balls, tie you on a rope and flog you silly.

The Igbos deserve their own country though. They are so different from the Hausa and Yoruba.

Okorocha is obsessed with becoming a Nigerian president of Igbo extraction.

The major thing the Igboman wants right now is restructuring nigeria not how to become the president of this enclave that might cost the lives of innocent easterners residing outside igboland.
