PRESS RELEASE
SUBJECT: GOVERNOR ROCHAS OKOROCHA TELLS IGBOS TO VOTE FOR PRESIDENT BUHARI OR FORGET ABOUT IGBO PRESIDENCY TILL 2031
- DESCRIBES HOPE UZODINMA, OTHERS AS TOOLS IN THE HANDS OF THOSE AGAINST IGBO PRESIDENCY
- AS UCHE NWOSU, ACTION ALLIANCE GUBER CANDIDATE ASSURES TOTAL VICTORY FOR THE PRESIDENT
Governor Rochas Okorocha has said that the Igbos have the better option of voting for President Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday, February 16, 2019 for second term and exercise their right of asking for the presidency in 2023 or fail to vote for him and forget about the issue of Igbo Presidency till 2031.
The governor spoke while addressing a mammoth crowd at zonal rallies for Okigwe zone and Owerri zone respectively, on Wednesday, February 13, 2019, organized to Campaign for President Buhari and other Candidates for the Saturday’s election, regretting that some Igbo Politicians are Campaigning to deceive the Igbos again as they did in 2015.
The Okigwe zone and Owerri zone rallies held at Okigwe Stadium built by Governor Okorocha’s government and Dan Anyiam Stadium respectively.
He also regretted that some Igbo Politicians like Chief Hope Uzodinma and others have become tools in the hands of some Politicians outside Igbo land who are not disposed to Igbo Presidency, adding that such external forces are positioning men like Uzodinma against the Igbo interest.
His words “Some people especially our brothers are campaigning now against President Buhari saying he is Boko Haram, that he is a herdsman, etc. You can remember in 2015, I was telling the Igbos, Cast your vote for Buhari because President Buhari will win with or without the votes of the Igbos. I was called all sorts of derogatory names. Some said I was going to Islamize the whole Igbos. Is Igbo land Islamized today?”
He Continued “Igbos today are playing politics with the mindset of a trader, thinking only of the immediate benefits unlike other tribes that are playing real politics. My people listen to me and listen real good, whatever I tell you to do, do it as it will profit us. I am telling you today that Buhari will win”.
The governor said “On Saturday, if Igbos support Buhari and Buhari wins, in 2023 Igbos will have the right to demand for Igbo Presidency. Those who love Igbo nation must vote for President Buhari because if we miss this chance we may not get the presidency even by 2023 or 2027 or 2031. The time is right for the Igbo nation to play the right politics so as to have a clear chance by 2023”.
He added “On Imo State governorship, the President advised that we all vote according to our conscience. Conscience in Igbo is ‘mee uche gi’, which translates to voting for Uche Nwosu. Uche Nwosu is the only credible person amongst all those vying for the position. He has no dent or skeleton in his cupboard. His only sin is that he came from a poor background and by the grace of God married my daughter. Today, AA and APC have joined to form what is called PERFECT ALLIANCE”.
In his speech, Uche Nwosu, the governorship Candidate of Action Alliance, AA, said the APC and AA members in the State will vote for President Buhari one hundred percent, adding that voting him for second term would be the best for Nigerians and Igbos in particular.
