Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has condemned what he described as the “pull-him-down-syndrome” among the Igbo, saying it is the only likely problem he will have if he chooses to run for the presidency.

The governor expressed regrets that the Igbo do not honour their own, including their leaders, “unlike what obtains in other parts of the country.”

He added that Igbo alone cannot make or produce a president of Igbo extraction, adding that Igbo need other Nigerians to be able to have a president of Igbo origin who would also see himself as a Nigerian, first and foremost.

Okorocha spoke while fielding questions from newsmen on Sunday after a press briefing at the Government House, Owerri.

He stated that it would be a foolish thought for any Igbo man eyeing the presidency at any time to think that the Igbo only would make him president.


He, however, contended that any Igbo man wanting or aspiring to achieve the feat of being the president one day cannot rely on the Igbo alone.

He said, “The Igbo do not know how to honour their own. They rather like to run down any of their rising leaders. The pull-him-down syndrome is high in Igbo land. And it is very unfortunate. Anytime I come out to run for the presidency of this country, I will not suffer pull-him-down from the North or from the South West or South South, it is only in Igbo land that I will suffer it.

“And they engage in this pull-him-down practice without knowing the overall implications on the Igbo. So, it will be out of place for an Igbo presidential aspirant at any given period to think that the Igbo will make him president, because Igbo do not value their own.

“They don’t value what they have, while they value outsiders. It is in their character. It is in their nature.”


“Read the newspapers and go to the social media, all the insults and attacks you get are all from the Igbo.

“They go to any length to run you down without caring about your good intentions and all the efforts being made to see that things work out fine for the people of the area.

“It is a problem. It didn’t start today. Go down memory lane and you’ll discover that the pull-him-down syndrome in Igboland didn’t start today.”

It was APGA platform that made Okorocha who he is today but he stabbed us in the back.

Yes, because it's in Igboland that you totally destroyed a state.

Okorocha should just shut up already. He doesn't look intelligent and each time he opens his mouth to talk, he clears all doubts. He is the one seriously de-marketing himself. He should learn from Amaechi. You don't make too much noise. You work hard and let your works do the talking.

Only in S/E will they pull you down,so you are a Governor where?
Elected by who?
Wanting to install your son-in-law where?

You talk without sense most times,only fools take you and OUK seriously.....

Typical Igbo mentality

That's why an Igbo man will NEVER be President. Greed and selfishness to take over. Everybody wants the crown for themselves and ready to destroy their brother to get it. In the end they all cancel themselves out and lose!

Exactly!

Okorocha is very correct. Igbos do not tolerate mediocrity be it their kit and kin or not. That is why we rejected Buhari.

Go and die with your presidency. The average Igbo man is still better educated and has a better living standard than you. Be fooling yourself. Nigeria will continue to move backwards until you let the best man lead.

upon all the years they have ruled, he still depends on his stipends made from BMC to survive extreme poverty.

This fool is the biggest regret of Imo people. To think many staked their lives to ensure the incumbent PDP did not rig him out in 2011. God forbid your kind again in Imo state. Animal

Off course he is your best man but certainly not for the rest of the country.
With his qualifications and ability, he wouldn't make a councilor in my part of Nigeria.
