Spokesman of the All Progressives Congress,APC, South-East
geopolitical zone, Mr. Osita Okechukwu, has dismissed the statement by Imo
State Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha that Ndigbo were responsible for their
exclusion in appointments made by President Muhamadu Buhari.
Okechukwu was reacting to an interview granted to a national daily by
Okorocha, published on yesterday.
In the
interview,
Okorocha
said he
shared the
sentiments
of the Igbo
that none
of them
made the
list of
appointees.
The Imo Governor however added that “some of the appointments we lost was
of the doings of our people,” just as he recalled that when he crying like a
lonely voice in the wilderness that look at where Nigeria was going, Ndigbo
chose to put all their eggs in one basket.
But, in a statement on Sunday, Okechukwu said Okorocha should take
responsibility for Igbo exclusion in the appointments, rather than passing the
buck to Ndigbo.
In a statement was titled, ‘Governor Rochas Okorocha neither truly campaigned
for President Buhari nor APC’ Okechukwu stated: “I am sorry to comment on
the blame game being played by, Owelle Rochas Okorocha; for his interview can
be classified as Okorocha Recue Mission from the less than five percent score in
the 2015 presidential election from the entire South East.
“All one can say is that to the best of my knowledge, he neither truly
campaigned for President Muhammadu Buhari nor the All Progressives
Congress.
“My thinking is that while we blame Ndigbo for putting all our eggs in one
basket, we should blame our leaders who genuinely didn’t campaign for
President Buhari nor APC candidates in their domain.
“I challenge Governor Okorocha to tell the world how far he assisted Senator
Osita Izunaso for his bid for Orlu senatorial district, his own constituency and
that of Hons Uche Onyeguocha and Uwajimogu of Owerri and Okigwe districts
respectively” Okechukwu stated.
While noting that a little assistance from Governor Okorocha could have earned
APC two senatorial seats, and other legislative seats, Okechukwu made it clear
that there was no point for him to blame Ndigbo without blaming himself first.
“This is a man some of us advised not to run against the zoning convention,
that it will deny Ndigbo the chance of producing either the chairman or the vice
presidential slot and he refused. He thought we are in Nollywood” the APC
zonal spokesman said.
According to Okechukwu, the Imo Governor should forthwith desist from the
blame game and accept responsibility for the fate of Ndigbo in Buhari’s
appointments.
He maintained that Okorocha lied when he claimed that he was crying like a
lonely voice in the wilderness for Ndigbo to vote for Buhari.
He insisted that if Okorocha really cried like a lonely voice in the wilderness,
President Buhari would have gotten at least 30 percent of the votes cast in Imo
State and not 18 percent.
“If Okorocha worked for APC in the South-East, how come we did not even win
a single senatorial seat in Imo and the entire zone? He should stop this blame
game and accept responsibility for the fate that has befallen Ndigbo”
Okechukwu said.
