Okorocha is a comedian!!!
A supposed presidential candidate comparing money, proposing to install his people in various positions in government and doing what not in the South east without mentioning anything he would do for Nigeria thereby dividing people along ethnic lines is not serious!!! grin grin

For a man aspiring to be Nigeria's president, i see "supposedly" Igbo interest as his only motivation. That is if what the OP posted is true, which in that case make him not good enough. Its high time, politicians stopped playing the ethnic card to fool us, let them focus on the common problems of poverty, corruption, insecurity, unemployment and general under-development defining the entire landscape of our country. I am so tired of this zoning or no zoning, christian-moslem or moslem-moslem ticket that is currently dominating our political discussions to the detriment of the real issues holding us down as a nation.

In 2015, I will be the president of Nigeria, I have gone to Kaduna, I have gone to Lagos, I am in Enugu today, they are already afraid; they are now calling for dialogue. If they are discussing those contesting for presidency on the platform of APC, Owelle will be the first, Buhari and then Kwakwanso; they said it was zoned to the North, I told our party, when did the meeting take place? I also met with my brother Ngige and we zoned it to Ndigbo.

“APC is an emergency party for new Nigeria, if PDP is doing well, I would not have joined APC, when God wants to do something, he does it from anywhere, it doesn’t matter whether Nwobodo, Ken, Nwodo, Ekweremadu are with us or not.

“I heard that some of them are boasting of money, but tell them that Rochas has come; any day you hear that PDP brought money with pick-up, tell me so that I will bring money with trailer. All these PDP leaders in South-East, if you put their money together, it is not equal to half of my money.”
make me your SA, THEN I WILL MAKE U A WINNER. TRUST ME.

Again in2007 they voted against Ikemba Ojukwu & OrjiKanu in favor of Yar'Adua. Today Owelle Rochas Okorocha has understood his people very well, that is why he never declare his presidential intention inIgbo land because he knew even if APC hands over the presidential ticket to him GEJ will still defeat him in Igbo land. That is why he is trying to build his political stronghold in the north. From history since 1960 Ndi- Igbo has supported every government in power. They have never opposed any Government before in their life that is why the entire nation don't take them serious for anything.Today they are insulting Owelle Rochas just because he refuse:d to be a slave to GEJ just like Peter Obi & co who sold AGPA to PDP. In OBJ era this same Ndi-Igbo was insulting & abusing OrjiKalu just because he was opposed to OBJ. Today the Igbo's on a daily basis abuse & insult their first class sister Dr.Obiageli Ezekwesili just because she is leading a protest against the failed GEJ's govt who refused to rescue the Chibok little girls andthis same Ndi-igbo on daily basis praise andworship ignorant Mrs.GEJ who can never recognize her right from left. Some thing is wrong with my tribe Ndi-Igbo, we have to say the truth even if it will hurt them." "Culled from #SaharaReportersFacebookPage #Thoughtful

I think its fair to say that my tribe igbo (proudly) is the only tribe that does vote for credibility nd merit rather than tribalism some people will even vote for pigs jst becos they re from their regions

ENUGU — Imo State Governor, Chief Rochas Okorocha, yesterday, declared his intention to run for the 2015 presidential election on the platform of the All Progressives Congress, APC.

In an emphatic statement, the Governor said, “I will be Nigeria’s President in 2015.”

He made the declaration at a rally organized by the Enugu State chapter of the APC at the Igbozurume Hall, in Emene, Enugu State.

The governor said Jonathan was not an Igbo man and that the PDP-led government had consistently marginalized the people of the South-East.

According to him: “Jonathan is not from the South-East, the Vice President is not from here, the Senate President, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN, the Inspector General of Police, IGP, and the security chiefs, none of them is from the South-East. Igbo people have no place in Nigeria. How can we say that PDP belongs to Ndigbo?

“Niger Bridge is 419, Enugu/Onitsha and Port-Hacourt Express way are all evidences of their hatred for Ndigbo; they don’t remember the poor, all our leaders in PDP are only interested in their pockets, they don’t care about our children’s education.

“We are angry and we said we have to come out; in Imo State, poor people are happy now, they study from primary to university without paying penny; our God party is bigger than their God, if what they are doing to the poor people here is good, let them continue but if it is bad, God will uproot them.

In 2015, I will be the president of Nigeria, I have gone to Kaduna, I have gone to Lagos, I am in Enugu today, they are already afraid; they are now calling for dialogue. If they are discussing those contesting for presidency on the platform of APC, Owelle will be the first, Buhari and then Kwakwanso; they said it was zoned to the North, I told our party, when did the meeting take place? I also met with my brother Ngige and we zoned it to Ndigbo.

“APC is an emergency party for new Nigeria, if PDP is doing well, I would not have joined APC, when God wants to do something, he does it from anywhere, it doesn’t matter whether Nwobodo, Ken, Nwodo, Ekweremadu are with us or not.

If Okorocha decides to run for the governorship sit in Imo state,he will have no rival.
Okoracha please forget about your presidential ambition,atleast for now,and finish the wonderful work you started in Imo State.

It's better you change your notion.

I've never been for PDP and Jonathan's unimpressive administration. But APC's choice of buhari is a no no for me. Not only is the ex dictator getting old, he is an Islam extremist and a person that shouldn't be trusted.. so u see I'd rather vote Jonathan than buhari.

But now that Rochas has declared his interest for presidential seat on the APC platform..I'm gladly going to vote for him!! in fact I'd been hoping he contested.

so you are voting for jonathan because "buhari is a muslim"

a bomb killed over 50 secondary school students, both muslims and christians, your christian president didnt even mention anything like mourning, flags to fly at half-mast..... What of the chibok girls, what of mubi, vintim....

What of all the scams: BMW scam, madekue scam, subsidy scam, arms deal scam, and all other scams!!!!!

My sister, check the TAN posters, do you know this guy has absolutely NO plan concerning healthcare

Well, you have your thumb, you can vote for him, but i'll NEVER vote for jonathan, whether his rival is buhari, okorocha, atiku, obasanjo, or even satan himself!!!!

We know he won't go that far, but all the same i wish every igbo man supports him, but i fear that will never happen. Even ojukwu was left stranded by his own kit and kin.
He failed on the day ho decided to join Apc, the south easteners see APC as a coalition of northern and western trouble makers thus He should have remained in APGA. To make things worse, those Islamic symbols which he erected at Imo state has been met with serious critizism....He did well though with free Education, but failed to pass the right messages across....Rochas will never b president again, ever..nd after his tenure xpires in Imo state. That will be the last you'll hear from him...
Re: Rochas Declares For Presidency. by Guyman02: 10:21am On Nov 11, 2014
I will Vote for Rochas and Fashola for President and Vice if APC will allow it. That will change the equation and give PDP a run for their money. Rochas is detribalised and Fashola is a man with vision.

To all Northerners and South Westerners hear this, I will not repeat it again:

Jonathan is NOT AN IGBOMAN or 'inyanmiri' as the Hausas will like to call the Igbos

OKOROCHA,OKOROCHA,OKOROCHA....how many times did i call you? please leave this your super story and come and finish the abandoned projects in owerri.you have succeeded in making owerri look even messy and funny.All the roads you constructed are crying for mercy,the round abouts in owerri all look funny,chukwuma nwoha road,imsu/transfigurationroad,orji roads,all the roads in prefab,inside the town......imsu back gate is now a den of robbers,there is no single drainage in owerri( at least aladimma,prefab and urrata)..To those who dont know what i am talking about,biko keep quiet........if you come to owerri,all you see is half-done projects!
Though you have done somethings,no doubt about that,but for you to go for presidency.....MBA OOOOO
You speech always sounds sweeter than what you do..making promises you can never fulfill,yet you want to be the president of Nigeria.
Please first of all redeem your image in imo state and finish what you have started.

Anyway for record sake,below are the achievements of OWELLE ROCHAS OKOROCHA (ORO)



1. Sacking of 10,000 youths employed by ohakim.

2. Sacking of over 300 Imo workers from ITC.

3. Sacking of all Concorde staff. The big question is; how many times will concorde be reconstructed in Okorocha's administration?

4. Sacking of all the development centers staff and scraping them.

5. Sacking and scrapping Imo state investment promotion Agency (ISIPA).

6. Sacking all staff and scrapping IROMA.

7. Sacking all ENTRACO Cadets.

8. Sacking all city sweepers.

9. Sacking all staff of wonder lake development corporation, e.t.c.

The statistics shows that ORO has sacked more than 300,000 imo citizens 4rm employment. Does it mean that he doesn't like the poor? Hmmm!

10. Destroying Ama JK park.

11. Selling of government owned companies to his brother and relatives in the guise of lease. E.g ITC Adapalm, Concorde and Imo Municipal transport company, Imo municipal was set up by Ikedi Ohakim's administration.

12. Decieving Imolites over free education of which 80% admission is given to non-indegenes while 20% to Imo students. The truth is that Federal government is funding primary 1 to JSS3. While the billions claimed to be spent on free education is a pure scam.

13. Claims of spending 4billion Naira on school uniforms, sandals and canvas to students, whereas only few schools and students in urban area benefited from it.

14. Misusing over N1.8Trillion (allocation) from 29th May 2011 to date as many uncompleted projects are scattered everywhere. The total not even upto 100Billion naira.

15. Improverishing Imolites by doing all the contrats alone through his surrogates.

16. ORO have repeatedly told Imolites that part of his achievements is construction of 305 modern school buildings in the 305 INEC wards in Imo state. But investigation has shown that not up to 30% of the projects have been completed. ORO why?

17. None of the 27 general hospital projects embarked upon by ORO has been completed for about three and half years of his administration, ORO why?

18. Awarding of juicy contracts to family members, e.g Installation of solar energy street lights from control post roundabout, through Bank road and Wethral to Aba road to his elder sister Geraldine at a unit cost of N1million for a pole. ORO Habaa!

19. Award of contracts for the construction of roundabouts to his surrogates at a staggering and whooping sum of forty million naira for a mere roundabout. Chai!
