Igbo Presidency Doesn't Exist - Okorocha Says by Abdulazeez99: 1:20pm On Jun 14, 2019 |
The senator representing Imo West Senatorial District and former Imo state governor, Rochas Okorocha, has noted that “Igbo presidency” does not exist, Igbere TV reports. While speaking on Thursday after he was sworn into the Senate, he stated that if Southeast wants power, they have to fight for it. He said: “Power is not given, power is taken. The south-east cannot just fold their arms and expect power to be given to them just because you want power. Power does not go with sentiment some of the times, it’s on issues on ground. “So you cannot be talking about Igbo presidency, it doesn’t exist. We may be talking about Nigeria’s president of Igbo extraction but that depends on what other geo-political zones think about the issue. “For me, what is important is let power be given to somebody who has something upstairs, who can put food on the table of common man irrespective of religion or where you come from.” The former governor also said it would be “very surprising” to see the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) appeal the verdict compelling it to issue him a certificate of return. “Duress means using mild or excessive force to compel someone to do something he or she does not want to do,” he said. “How would you have done that in a returning hall where you have police, SSS and party agents? And in my own person walking with gun or machete asking them to write result on my behalf. “That didn’t happen. I think there is more to duress than duress itself”, he argued.

“For me, what is important is let power be given to somebody who has something upstairs, who can put food on the table of common man irrespective of religion or where you come from. First he says 'power is not given but taken', then he says let power be given to... Which is it really? Who says the one that takes power may necessarily have anything in his head other than the supposed 'numbers' and an ethnic supremacy agenda? Nigeria as currently constituted is not particularly conducive for intelligent persons to actually do their jobs; everything must be laced with political/religious considerations and the my-people-are-more-important-than-yours syndrome. 27 Likes 4 Shares |

There is something I try so hard to understand about the issue of Igbo and the Nigerian presidency. Has any tribe in Nigeria ever felt better than the others because their own tribeman is the president or head of state. The Fulani ethnic group has had the highest number of heads of state/presidents ruling this nation,are they better off socially and economically than the Igbos. The Yoruba too has had their own share of leadership at the apex in this country, are they better off than the igbos too? I think it doesn't matter who becomes what in this godforsaken country.what matters is who is better off in this hell called Nigeria.people like the emperor,Rochas only work for what benefits them and not what will benefit the larger populace. He thinks himself the best and most qualified Igbo man for the post of Nigerian presidency. He failed in IMO and will keep failing.He had an opportunity to prove his own difference in IMO but failed.let him cry over spilled milk for the test of his life. Who cares. And my advice to the Igbos: 1.know yourself 2.no tribe is exempted from the hell we are going through in this country including the people in the presidents backyard,Daura. 3.Individualism is the king in this country.make money,build house/s,marry a fine wife,have beautiful children and above all,be happy. 4.sit back and watch. This current system will eventually swallow itself and you will have nothing to lose. 55 Likes 12 Shares |
