He said, “The Igbo do not know how to honor 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.

All the stupid man is interested in is to become president of this dysfunctional shithole Nigeria! This is the main reason he moved to APC, after tricking Ndi-Imo to vote for him under APGA!

He doesn't care what Ndigbo are going through in the hands of Buhari and his evil party APC; what statement has he made on the illegal arrest, detention and denial of visitation rights his sisters are going through at the moment?
