Rochas Okorocha, governor of Imo state, has asked Igbo leaders to toe the path of wisdom before adopting a candidate for the 2019 presidential election.

In a statement on Thursday, the governor advised the leaders to put aside the bad politics they played in the past which has kept the zone in political wilderness.

Okorocha said this 24 hours after Atiku Abubakar, presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), met with Ben Nwabueze, a senior advocate of Nigeria (SAN), with some south-east leaders in Enugu.

The leaders were said to have adopted Atiku, while Nwabueze said he would not die until the PDP candidate becomes president.

In a statement issued by Sam Onwemeodo, his chief press secretary, Okorocha advised the stakeholders to tread with caution.

“On the adoption of a presidential candidate by Igbo leaders and their playing partisan politics, my advice is that Igbo leaders should toe the path of wisdom and should not come again adopting a candidate,” the statement read.

“Mine is an advice that the Igbos should be careful not to play the same type of very bad politics we played in the past which most of the times, kept us in political wilderness. As a people, we must be wise now and never foreclose the possibility of any presidential candidate becoming the president tomorrow.”

The All Progressives Congress (APC) had said the endorsement of Atiku by some south-east leaders is an affront to Igbo people who were victims of PDP’s “misrule”.

For once I am in full agreement with what Rochas said.

Rochas now considers himself a true Igbo leader because he shook hands with Obama . Mr.Iberiberisms opinion might count in Birom land where his father is from, but definitely not in Igbo land. Shege Okorohausa!

This is interesting. I thought Okorocha has disowned APC?

Why is he not atikulooting with the others

Shut up. Who are you to advice Ndi Igbo?

Rochas is still having a hang over from his iberiberism gone awry as far as installing his godson-Uche Nwosu is concerned.

What we saw in 1983-84 is what we're still seeing in 2015-2019.So no leader(baba soope) dictates for us here in alaigbo even if they endorse; as we follow our conscience.You fuckup we tidy it for you

I do not think he is qualified to advise even his wife.

The man has destroyed Owerri, the whole place looks like an abandoned construction site.

The truth is bitter.

look at okorocha that has been schemed out advising people. what have you okorocha gained from APC

But it's a Good politics to impose your son inlaw on your people

Rochas and iberibeism

It's risky but its worth taking besides even if Ndigbo support buhari, in 2023, buhari will definitely hand over to the southwest so there's nothing to loose buy supporting Atiku

Typical atikulator. Completely dense

Igbos said they would only vote any candidate that will restructure this country, Buhari has made it clear that he is not a fan of restructuring

Atiku has been advocating for restructuring for a long while and has shown he will do so

is it not clear to all where igbo votes will go? how is it bad politics to endorse who agress to your demands against the person that has said no.

The same igbos too said they want to go back to the center

Why do they want to go back to a center that a restructured nigeria will weaken.

Truth is igbos are not interested in any atiku restructuring they just want to go back to the center that they are used to

There is no use flogging a dead horse.

Igbos going back to the center to restructure the country..
To undo the mistake they created in the first place...
Aguiyi ironsi comes to mind....


Buhari has openly repel the idea of restructuring....
Atiku has openly declare his stand In restructuring..

Ndigbo have chosen their candidate..

@the bold, at least you're honest. I wish you the best

Even without the adoption, it's clear that Atiku will earn a good chunk of the Presidential votes in the Southeast. Buhari nauseates an average Ibo.

Okoroawusa u are the worst person to advice igbos

Shut up my friend.... what has Okorocha gained from asslicking Buhari and APC leaders?


It's very obvious that with or without the SE support, Buhari will hand over to North or South West. So what do u expect SE to do?


They should support Atiku who gave them VP or Buhari who called them 5% and sent soldiers to kill their youths? Use your sense bros
