Governor of Imo State,
Rochas Okorocha has stated that President Buhari will get re-elected with or
without the votes of Igbos, a tribe of the Southeastern part of Nigeria.
Okorocha made this known on
Wednesday at the zonal rallies for Okigwe and Owerri zones, organised in favour
of President Muhammadu Buhari.
He said:
“Some people, especially
our brothers, are campaigning now against President Buhari, saying he is Boko
Haram and a herdsman.
“You can remember in 2015,
I was telling the Igbo, to cast their votes for Buhari because he would win
with or without the votes of the Igbo.
“I was called all sorts of
derogatory names. Some said I was going to Islamise the whole Igbo. Is Igbo
land Islamised today?
“Igbo, today, are playing
politics with the mindset of traders, 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’m telling you, today, that Buhari will win.
He continued:
“On Saturday, if the Igbo
support Buhari and he wins, in 2023, Igbo will have the right to demand 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, 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.
“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. Nwosu is
the only credible person among 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,
Action Alliance (AA) and APC have joined to form what is called perfect
alliance”, Okorocha said.
