Rochas Okorocha (imo State Governor Elect) To Be President Come 2015 by Ngwakwe: 12:33am On May 09, 2011 |
One of the Rochas Okorocha's campaign promises is that he will quit as governor after one tenure to make room for Owerri zone's turn according to Imo charter of equity. He made it clearly known that he aims to be President come 2015 after Goodluck Jonathan's tenure. In summary, that Nigerians should judge him based on his performance as the Governor of Imo State from 2011 to 2015 We are looking forward to a better reformed governance in Imo State if he ever think that he will be President and a "Possible decamping to PDP" or whatever come 2015 |

I had always known this was the plan. |

PDP needs a northern candidate for 2015. At least for a single tenure (2015 to 2019). Afterwards, a very strong candidate from the SE can be presented. PDP needs to start building up whoever they intend to present from the SE from now. The candidate has to be a top performer cos it will be a tough battle at that time if someone like Fashola is presented from the SW. |

He got my support ![]() Sai Rochas 2015!!! I don't know about his self destructive ethnic group which prefer to be acting like pigs by eating their own for slight feeling of hunger without a second thought, What shame. |
Re: Rochas Okorocha (imo State Governor Elect) To Be President Come 2015 by Ikengawo: 7:02am On May 09, 2011 |
i think Fashola will be the next president. Sambo is a VERY weak candidate, and i feel it'll be a long time still a northern candidate is president unless Sanusi decides to run, otherwise there are no real strong young personalities from there that resonate with the youth (key to winning our next few elections) if ANC presents Fashola, he's the president. PDP has no trump card left and can only PRAY sambo doesn't decide to run. |
Re: Rochas Okorocha (imo State Governor Elect) To Be President Come 2015 by Rhino5dm: 7:05am On May 09, 2011 |
Take your rotten eggs to the dogs. We want change. NO MORE ZONING!. efisher: |
Re: Rochas Okorocha (imo State Governor Elect) To Be President Come 2015 by efisher(m): 7:05am On May 09, 2011 |
Sambo is too weak and he may not even get enough support from the north. If ACN presents Fashola against him, that will be a masterstroke. The only thing that may work against Fashola is tribalism and sentiments. |
Re: Rochas Okorocha (imo State Governor Elect) To Be President Come 2015 by Rhino5dm: 7:10am On May 09, 2011 |
GEJ is equally very weak, dumb and lacks the northern support. What makes you think they will turn back on their own? Thanks to magic number from SS&SE. Useless people. efisher: |
Re: Rochas Okorocha (imo State Governor Elect) To Be President Come 2015 by efisher(m): 7:31am On May 09, 2011 |
Rhino.5dm: No need to get worked up. Read again, I only mentioned what "PDP" needs and not what I want. Rhino.5dm: Nigerian politics is still very much centred around tribalism and religion so I do not think they will turn their back on him. What I think is that more youths, intellectuals, the whole of the SW, and a fair portion of the rest of Nigeria will prefer Fashola. Besides, people are already getting tired of PDP. A candidate needs good home support to win any election. Fashola can get 90% of the SW for starters. How much can Sambo get back home? If ACN can dig their claws into certain Northern quarters before 2015 (by an alliance or whatever), it will be an epic battle. |
Re: Rochas Okorocha (imo State Governor Elect) To Be President Come 2015 by Rhino5dm: 8:10am On May 09, 2011 |
My opinion and yours don't count. So if GEJ is not contesting and sambo is giving the go under PDP arm with power the of incumbancy and huge resources at his disposal to buy off SE&SS then consider him the next president. The north will always make u-turn in favour of their own. Believe me. But i prefer Rochas, Fashola or SLS. I hate mainstream. Change is what i desire. efisher: |

Re: Rochas Okorocha (imo State Governor Elect) To Be President Come 2015 by enyojo(f): 9:09am On May 09, 2011 |
The only way to get the Electorate confused is to field a Rochas against a Fashola. Then if you add Sanusi to the list, then na die!! |
Re: Rochas Okorocha (imo State Governor Elect) To Be President Come 2015 by efisher(m): 9:33am On May 09, 2011 |
That will be serious confusion for the masses. But any two can pair up to form a good team. |
Re: Rochas Okorocha (imo State Governor Elect) To Be President Come 2015 by Gbawe: 10:12am On May 09, 2011 |
To be honest , it gladdens my heart to see that the good guys are winning. Even if reluctantly , we have to thank GEJ. I was sure they would do everything to rig Ohakim in . When that did not happen even the most die hard critics must admit that , as far as the elections are concerned , GEJ must be given credit for a job well done overall. Circa 2007 , it was total doom and gloom because criminal misrulers were foisted on everyone via "do or die" desperation through an election regarded as "one of the worst in world history" . Our good name , locally and Intrenationally, is somewhat restored by GEJ . One thanks him for that. Even as I think we should focus on today's leaders , with the intention to ensure they deliver, it is still good to think that , due to GEJ's actions , it is now very possible we will get a decent President in 2015. Hopefully the like of IBB et al are gone forever even though , troubling enough, I read somewhere that Gusau is "planning" to run in 2015. As per Okorocha , anything can happen . I think 2015 may be too early for Okorocha ,as he may want two terms to really make IMO an outstanding State, but who knows ? The man may perform out of his skin and things may "fall in place" for him , all the way to Aso Rock, as was the case for GEJ. What is most important is that , finally, we are getting more leaders who are on the side of ordinary Nigerians. |
Re: Rochas Okorocha (imo State Governor Elect) To Be President Come 2015 by enyojo(f): 11:07am On May 09, 2011 |
efisher: Who will deputize who na? Fashola a 2 term Gov by then or Rochas a frmr pres Candidate and one-term Gov? Maybe all things being equal (that is if both of them perform exellently btw 2011-2015), then the Vice Presidential candidates and parties will make the difference. There are romours that Rochas will soon rejoin his PDP to clinch their ticket |

@Gbawe, Having a good bite of "humble pie" I see. Coming from someone who only a week ago was so doggedly defending a mischievious and completely senseless article by SR, I cant tell u how gratifying it is to see u attempt a volte-face. But while u were at it, one wldav expected u in your "gracious" manner to admit u were completely misled by just another dumb article from SR to accuse the President of already manipulating the electoral system to favour Ohakim. Meanwhile, enjoy your pie. |
Re: Rochas Okorocha (imo State Governor Elect) To Be President Come 2015 by Ngwakwe: 2:58pm On May 09, 2011 |
Rochas was born and breed in the Northern Nigeria. Has his business empire in the South West But his father is from South East In all he has help so many Nigerians and touched many lives in the north, west and east. |

Re: Rochas Okorocha (imo State Governor Elect) To Be President Come 2015 by Gbawe: 4:02pm On May 09, 2011 |
wesley80: Are you okay at all? Do you think , like you , I am into childish games ? Perhaps you don't understand that some of us , as serious folks with serious lives, criticise leaders purely because we want better lives for Nigerians and generations unborn. "humble pie" ko Cranberry pie ni . Nigeria is bigger than all of us . Some of you should understand that instead of going around hating/stalking the same folks day in day out. I have valid reasons for thinking GEJ would endorse election rigging. If I then give him credit now it is in the spirit of giving credit where it is due. It is something I suspect the likes of you may not understand since you dislike people enduringly without making allowance for reviewing their daily behaviour. Abeg , GEJ is not my pal . Far from it. In fact I still dont think he is the leader Nigeria need . Nonetheless, and unlike you, I will review that position if Mr. President does the right thing consistently. Simple as that. |
Re: Rochas Okorocha (imo State Governor Elect) To Be President Come 2015 by wesley80(m): 6:56pm On May 09, 2011 |
^^^ Yeah right. Serious folks with serious lives that want the best for Nigerians criticizing her leaders based on freshly digested horseshit from SR? Clap for yourself, O ye patriot. I dont hate u on d contrary, I (and I also believe most peeps on this forum) find your views quite refreshing and informative, so was kinda taken aback to see u open and defend a silly thread based on an obviously mischievious article by SR. I support Gej cos I think he's done reasonably well and if my stance were to change, it wld have 2 be for some cogent reason not some dumb article from a faceless news org. You my friend wld have to know what kind of stories to swallow and those to take with a pinch of salt if u're to fulfill your mission as a respected armchair critic. |

In the so called state of Imo address, Governor Okorocha made promises that are out of this world. He said he will, within the next three years, build a Five Star hotel in each of the three senatorial zones in the state. Yes, Five Star hotels even when there is none yet in the state (not even Concorde Hotel in Owerri in a Five Star Hotel); give scholarship of N25,000.00 per annum to every primary school pupil in the state; N40,000.00 scholarship to every secondary school student in the state; N60,000 scholarship for every OND student of the state Polytechnic; N80,000.00 scholarship per annum for every HND student and N100,000.00 scholarship for every Imo State indigene studying at the Imo state University in addition to receiving tuition free. Meanwhile, out of the over 35,000 student enrolment at the Imo State University, about 31,500 are indigenes of Imo State. Governor Okorocha also announced that he will build three new universities in the state, one in each of the three senatorial zones, before 2015. Already, about 6,000 students are currently enrolled at the State Polytechnic. Imo state has an estimated 700,000 school enrolment in primary and secondary schools. When these figures are put side by side with the Governor’s promises, the following scenario will emerge: It will cost the state N3.5 billion to offer scholarship to the University students as proposed; N416 million for Polytechnic students; and N21 billion for primary and secondary school pupils and students, each year. This comes to a total of N24.56 billion per annum. Meanwhile, the average annual income of the state is N 34 billion. With a recurrent expenditure of 70 per cent or N 23.8 billion ,a balance of N10.2 billion will be left for capital expenditure. That is not all. Three Five Star hotels and a 25 storey office building is estimated to cost N180 billion. As at today, projects already embarked upon by the state government amount to N1.275 trillion. If this figure is divided by 34 ( the state’s annual income figure),it means that it will take 37.5 years to complete the projects, assuming that total income accruing to the state will be put into them. You then ask: what sort of abracadabra is this? Why does Governor Okorocha believe that Imo people are this daft. I can bet that Okorocha’s colleagues, especially in the sister Southeast states, must have been stunned by Okorocha’s claims. How will they now cope with the wrath of their people who will soon confront them on why they cannot perform the same miracle as their Imo counterpart? Back home, the implication of the Governor’s fairy tales is that he has come to a cross road. There is also total confusion in the state. As I write, the same state university whose students have been promised heaven-knows- how scholarships is under lock and key due to non payment of salaries. Primary and secondary schools lack consumables, contractors are not being paid, road contracts already awarded without papers stand at N850 billion while those advertised for award are worth N87 billion. To crown it all, none of the things promised by the governor is captured in any budget. With this bizarre and weird economics, Governor Okorocha has suddenly brought the state to a bind. But there is a window of escape for Owelle Ethelbert (my name sake) Anayo Rochas Okorocha. There is an opportunity for him to save himself from the mess. If I were him, I would pray that the PDP wins its appeal at the Supreme Court. He will be the biggest beneficiary of such a victory because it will save him the wrath of Imo people whom he has made to look like people without brains. |

This governor is funny indeed. Imo State will also commercialize the office of governor so It could accrue funds from spreading innuendos and fallacies. |
