Former President Ibrahim Babangida in a recent interview gave a quite optimistic projection of the kind of person who should be Nigeria’s next president.

Politics in the country has come to the crossroads. More and more Nigerians have come to see the wisdom in statecraft. Better to have a president who helps bring food to the table i.e. earn enough money to provide the basic necessities for oneself and one’s family. There are some who still bend to the illusory preferential option for the kinsman. So, it’s merit Vs zoning.

Interestingly though, both sides of the divide have proponents who think that for the sake of fairness, equity, even for justice and such values that promote peace and order, an ethnic Igbo person should get the next turn at the presidency this time. This is the loudest, the most sober and sensible view. The influential Sultan, Muhammadu Sa’ad Abubakar thinks so from Sokoto. The pragmatist reformer and current Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El Rufai likewise agrees that it should be the turn of the southeast now.

When the Igbos have had their shot, then Nigeria can evolve from turn-by-turn presidency to merit as the overarching criterion.

Thus on the whole, there seems a fair consensus of opinion that the presidency goes to the Igbos this once. So what then?

The problem actually is the incapacity of the Igbo political elite to inspire consensus around a viable candidate and then throw their weight behind him or her.

Owelle Rochas Okorocha has shown remarkable imagination and innovation in his declaration to run. A former governor and presently a senator, he has had a more than successful run in business and entrepreneurship. Plus he has shown a milk of kindness in his widespread charities and beneficent foundations. No matter what one may say, Rochas is not perfect but he has the pedigree suitable to do the job.

To recap, there is a growing political concurrence that it is only fair for the presidency to be zoned to the southeast. Even those who in principle would prefer merit to the option of zoning believe that if for no other reason than the sake of equity and fair play, someone of Igbo ethnicity be president this time. After that, all parties can throw their doors open and allow for only the criterion of merit and suitability.

One standard ex-president Babangida proffered for the next commander-in-chief was the candidate’s familiarity or association with diverse parts of the country. Okorocha has that in the bag. With deep roots in the north and eloquent in Hausa, he has roots and association in and with almost all parts of the federation.

Where it is not consanguinity, then it is business ties or some form of interrelation. In fact, a lot of the arguments made against him prove to be reasonable as to why he should be the next president.

This write-up is very provocative! Why exalt partisanship over statesmanship? If you are talking of presidency from the south east, why will you even mention okorocha when there is a Peter Obi from the south east? Why? Of course because your mentally has been skewed toward subjectivity over objectivity. Because you have weighed your glutonous belly over national progress. Oh Lord wipe out all these self seeking, man serving sycophantic kleptomaniacs from our social landscape

If you like get the best writers both dead and living to write epistles or Eulogies for Rochas he remains a crook, theif and a deceptive criminal.
His imagination is always running wild without control, his charity is a deceptive tactics to blind the vision and reasoning of the masses whom he decieves.
Make no mistake, he's more deadly than rattle snakes as can be seen in his records in imo state.

HE peter Obi is the best Choice for the igbos and Nigeria at large, if we are really interested in the nation's development

Rochas is not different from Tinubu. Just as Tinubu sold Lagos to himself and till date he decides on what happen in Lagos , to the extent he can fire incumbent governor if he doesn't dance to his tune , Rochas also willed almost all Imo state properties to himself. Later on, he felt it nice to handover the state to his son in-law grin

These two men are just the same , no difference. If Tinubu gets hold of Nigeria, this country wil be mortgaged forever. Everything will forever be decided by him even when he's not in power.

The little difference is opportunity, loyal boys and ethnicity. The Igbo do not like to rally along just one person, in their words, "every man is a king in his own house", No national leader. Whereas the Yorubas have national leaders. If you dare criticise Tinubu, most Yoruba will come after you while if you criticise Rochas, na only his family members go defend am grin.
