eio2013: Olodo!
How can u call dis govt a biafran govt. Nonentity..

gree-die:


you think so? we know better

obailala:


Sometimes I wonder how the same Nigerians whom voted Goodluck and not PDP have suddenly begun to attach much importance to the party (APC) instead of the candidate. I wonder if this is a sign of political maturity in Nigerians

Abagworo:
The Imo State governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha has pledged to work harder for the development, peace and progress of all parts of the country.

He said as a detribalized Nigerian, he would continue to promote the interest and peaceful co-existence of all tribes.

Gov okorocha stated this while reacting to claims by APGA leader, chief Victor Umeh that he left the party to pursue an anti-Igbo agenda in the APC. “I am a detribalized Nigerian who is determined to work in the interest of everyone irrespective of their tribes. APGA is essentially a seasonal party and cannot help Ndigbo to achieve national offices or attain leadership positions in these democratic dispensation.


Governor Okorocha said he would not join issues with Chief Umeh who he said remains his brother and would be welcomed into APC if he so choose.

“I forgive him for all he has said about me and his reaction is predictable. If you lose dozens of your state chairmen and source of livelihood, you are bound to react the same way but I honestly believe that the future of the south-East lies with APC”

He said that those who criticize him for joining APC have failed to take into account that no Igbo man was currently holding any of the six key positions in the administrative of the country.

Governor Okorocha praised the south-east for their enthusiasm and support for the APC and promised that the party would be the vehicle for the rapid and sustained economic development of the region.

Governor Okorocha who welcome the 22 State Chairmen and 5 National officers who decamped from APGA to APC, called on all other members of the party to join the progressive bandwagons for total eradication of poverty in the country.

the man is stupid!!!! who should forgive who? he betrayed us and we are not ready to forget. he and his party ll never be welcomed in igboland.

APGA any day

Desric: Is that just the only thing you know about? Ibo here, our own there? If you won't join a party because your myopic thinking tells you that you are not compatible with a section of the country or that the people involved in the party are not Ibos, i bet, you or other members of your family lives, stays and does business in those same areas you hate so much, and if they chase you away you lament of one Nigeria. why can't we be objective for ones and stop talking through our anus?
Rochas is this, Riches is that just because he's always bold to express himself without fear or favour. Imagine the way he addressed Umeh, i am very sure if it were Umeh in same situation, you would have heard hips of abuse, insults and bunch of them.
Let us help ourselves if we are to move forward.

No insults please. I said people I know call it so.
For me, I still believe this govt favours the Igbos.
Those who accuse the Igbos of playing second fiddle to Ijaws held power for decades and never considered "giving" it to Igbos but will now "dash" it to Igbos because they hate GEJ
Truly, you don't need the Presidency to develop your place; what you need are the right policies and I think there is a quantum leap for the southeast from what obtained in the past.
Again, igbo sons and daughters are strategically placed in this government.

Stop being ignorant, I stated the reasons why such party should NEVER be allowed in the east. Any party except APC can try but APC should be rejected outright because the one of the co-founders of the party supports terrorism... Period. That's my opinion, if you don't like it, deal with it.

snowytee: Forgive him,he is still ignorant.Since after the civil war, the igbos have never had it so good.A region that has been languishing withou an international airport for decades and Jonathan just fixed that.Has he seen the strides igbos are making in the Army?The man is even trying to fix a seaport close to home for the Igbos.Does he know that one of the reasons the haters want him out is because development is spreading to igbo land?Leave the child alone,abeg

manny4life:

Ndi Imo, biko forgive me, but your governor seems to have selective amnesia because he begged for APGA mandate in Imo, then he did not know it was a "seasonal party", after achieving his ambitions, rather than fix the party to be full time, year-round (instead of seasonal), he quit the party. Posterity will be the judge, by his actions will he be held accountable. Let him continue on this path, he who leaves his brothers dinner table to dine with an outsider will someday come back begging for the leftover.



The bold can only happen in Imo and nowhere else, it's okay to have dreams because we're entitled to it, but reality will smack his face really hard. The SE with exception to Imo is a no-go for APC, the party isn't welcomed, if Igbos can work together to revive APGA, and Peter Obi is definitely not helping issues. I'd rather take the current APGA that way it is than to have APC...God forbid a party found by looters and terrorist alike.

Lordlexy: See how hatred blindst a man's eyes. Until you provide link where you said Buhari support terrorism, i will assume you are one of those who ride on lies to attract sympathy. Politics thriving on sentiment and petty unvarifiable lies is bound to shipwreck. So far, Rochas has proven to be different in civility, exposure and general political awareness from the many bunch who used intimidation and threat to remain relevant.

manny4life:

If you're deficient of not knowing the actions exhibited by Buhari (though I did not call his name, after all, the Bible said by their fruit, ye shall know the), then it's either you're ignant (aka ignorant, na so Cameroon peeps dey call am), or you're an Ngige clone - hiding under pretense, two sided knife.

My brother, I have nothing else to tell you, my stand is clear - APC WILL NEVER STAND AND MUST BE DEFEATED IN THE SE, this is a task that must be accomplished. Datz all

Uyi Iredia:

I'm sorry bros but I find your thinking partisan in a way that is most unwise: no wonder it is said by some that Igbos haven't grown of of the Nigerian civil war.

Bandit C.:
This fat pig won't get down to what he was voted in for, which is actually rendering good governance and it's dividends to his dilapidated state rather he is all over the media yapping about like a market woman.

One thing is for sure, he won't be getting voted in as a governor in Imo state anymore based on my assessment of Imolites I know out here and he would surely be disgraced out of the south east and sent back to his muslim and terrorist compatriots up north.

Thunder fire APC and any Igbo who supports such atrocity. Imps with short memory and efulefus who could barely tell the path to their father's compound.

Desric: Is that just the only thing you know about? Ibo here, our own there?

Chino_Is_Back:


The guy is a known clown amongst governors. The state is rotting away while he is busy pushing money to Tinibu his godfather to secure VP slot.

I have few words for him, he will be shocked as to what will happen to APC soon.

untainted:

I think the above claim is totally misleading though he did not define what six key positions he meant.
I believe only the Yorubas in the country today (among the big three) have the right to claim marginalisation: I also think it is their strategy of building opposition against GEJ in their region because for eg, they fought against therir own becoming Speaker.
The Hausas may cry wolf too because of "zoning" but to say this governemnt has not favoured Igbos is a barefaced lie by Rochas.
People I know even call this govt Biafran Govt.

Abagworo: Many Igbos on this forum surprise me a lot. Are we this tribalistic? Any way I don't believe tribalism thrives in Imo State. We need to learn to work with all tribes in Nigeria and not get ourselves secluded at one corner. APGA couldn't achieve its potential because of intra-tribalism within Igboland which lead to wrestling of the party from the real founder Chekwas Okorie. Rochas would have been a hope for APGA's revival but Peter Obi and some older APGA members started claiming supremacy and were disrespecting Rochas who in fact did not and still does not need them because he won based on his track records and popularity.
