Igbo should stop thinking about Igbo presidency in 2019 – Okorocha ON JULY 29, 20164:55 PMIN NEWSCOMMENTS By Chidi Nkwopara OWERRI – Governor Rochas Okorocha has charged Ndigbo to stop dreaming about a president of Igbo extraction in 2019, as those that served in varying capacities in the past, did little or nothing for Igbos. Okorocha, who read the riot act yFriday in Owerri, during a post election press briefing, suggested that Igbos should look for people with passion, vision and mission to drive the nation’s wheel of progress. “Ndigbo should stop thinking and talking about Igbo presidency in 2019. They should rather be thinking of someone that has something positive to offer to the people. We need a president with passion, vision and mission and not mere sentiment”, Okorocha said. After rolling out a litany of Igbo names that occupied what he called “choice public offices” in the past, the Governor however lamented they did nothing tangible for Ndigbo. “Igbos have had people that held choice public offices in the past. They ended up not doing any tangible thing for the people. So, the issue cannot be based on mere sentiment”, Okorocha said. While congratulating the electorate for electing all the All Progressives Congress, APC, candidates in the last re-run polls, the Governor also said that “what the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, took from us in Chief Ike Ekweremadu will be redressed soonest”. The Governor argued that “for the National Assembly to continue to have Ekweremadu as the Deputy Senate President is not good for the nation’s democracy and I urge the National Assembly to do the needful now that the South east has an APC senator”. Answering a question on whether his administration can comfortably continue with the free education policy, Okorocha said: “I have been receiving proposals from concerned people, urging me to reintroduce school fees in our primary schools, to enable government pay salaries. I am seriously considering this option

Haters can keep hating

Loose talker

Lol I am not sure why Rochas thinks this point is necessary?

The PDP we support we have already liaised with others to zone power to North in 2019

So I am really not sure what Rochas is saying or why he needs to say it

Chibuhealth:
We are not interested in your rubish Nigeria presidency, all we want is Biafra and nothing else. Taken? Get that into your thick skull! Okoroawusa

alert!!!

Wailers are coming for him!

I dnt blame okorocha,he is only behaving as a real cross breed. Ndigbo dis guy is nt 4 u,he will continue to work against igbo.

What a despicable nitwit. I can see why people hate him.

I don't wanna use the word hate but i now dislike this man. Rochas make i ask you, as governor for six years almost, what have you done for your imo people and ndigbo in general? You have sold yourself to the north just like the yorubas. FYI, igbos want biafra, not presidency.

oh no you never speak my mind please tell them not to dream of becoming president in Nigeria.

Its just a statement of fact!!!....you eat where you work...igbos are good businessmen,but bad politicians

Okorocha is just lyk amechi who does not ve value in his region

what will they benefit from igbo president?

He should concentrate on Imo state and live Umuigbo alone. As far as Igbo race is concerned he is a nobody and can never represent our interest.

Rochas Okorocha championed Igbo Presidency in 2015 but most Igbos said no Igbo man should contest against Jonathan because they thought Jonathan could defeat Buhari but that was the worst political calculation ever as even a nursery pupil knows nobody in Nigeria can defeat Buhari. Nobody can win Buhari in 2019 either so Ndigbo should support him so that in 2023 he will support Igbo Presidency.
