IMO State governor Rochas Okorocha has revealed that the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate General Muhammadu Buhari will only serve for a term and step down in 2019 for an Igbo successor.
 
Speaking yesterday while addressing the Imo State Towns Development Association Lagos, Governor Okorocha likened General Buhari to the late Nelson Mandela of South Africa. He added that for an Igbo president to emerge, the people must vote for the general to give him the mandate, so that he can later hand over power to the south east in 2019.
 
At the event, which took place at the Teslim Balogun Stadium in Lagos, Governor Okorocha said that at 72, General Buhari’s mission is to clear the rot in the polity and move on. Speaking in Igbo, Governor Okorocha said that if the southeast geo-political zone wanted to produce the president in the immediate future, they must elect General Buhari.
 
Governor Okorocha added: “Buhari is the Mandela of our time. At 72, what does he want?
 
"He will do one term, fix the country and move on and then power will be come back to the south. When power rotates to the south, the southeast will have it in 2019 because the southwest has had it through Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and the south-south through Dr Goodluck Jonathan.’’
 
However, the governor warned that the realty of southeast producing a president might not be realised if they did not get their politics right by voting for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). According to Governor Okorocha, the PDP has marginalised the southeast geo-political zone.
 
"Under President Jonathan's administration, the southeast is not among the five topmost positions in the country as it has not produced the president, vice president, senate president, chief justice of the federation, or speaker of the House of Representatives and does not have any of the service chiefs, inspector general of police, or controller of Customs, immigration, or Civil Defence. We only have the controller of prisons, which is not fair," Governor Okorocha added

rubbish talk...

Okorocha: Deceiving himself since........ Buhari was born

Ok

Say that again pls

This Okorocha needs his brain re examined. Buhari who has already dumped his party's manifesto for a Northern manifesto abi na another buhari.

Common Igbo appointments he couldn't influence and now he's talking rubbish as if buhari still have his mobile number.

Mtcheew

Rotation was a PDP principle. The APC principle is MERIT!
Power returns to the South but will be occupied by those who merits it.

Where is an Iboman that merits to be President of Nigeria in 2019?




.

Ok....good for Nigeria's unity.

Errr but why the statement come dey pain scratched faces na
Is it not same APC member that said it

Fools' paradise

The difference from the responses is that were Rochas to be a yorrober politician, his oil soupers will easily believe him on this. Igbos are not easily lead astray because most are educated.

In 2013....

[size=16pt]Jonathan will step down for an Ibo successor in 2015 - Ohanaeze promised [/size]

They are not yet ripe to rule this country

Educated, eehn!! Look how your education deceived you to give 97% of your votes to Jonathan in the belief he will hand over to Ibo in 2015.

100 years to come no Igbo man will ever ever ever rule this country! Arrant nonsense

.

After buhari power if Nigeria is still existing as a united entity, there will most likely be a real power tussle pushed by greedy south west that wants to have power again, the north that mostly likely want to rule for another 8 years the pdp states that would most likely repeat what they did in the national assembly on nigeria.
I see dogara as a forceful candidate but not too sure about the vice president from Muslim niger delta, igbos are bouncing back with control of the Senate and plum ministry posts.

Only time will tell as I don’t really see the south west lasting long in the national settings, they will likely go back to their amala and ewedu politics with Osinbajo playing the role jonathan plays now.

Ko Jo.

God forbid

Is okorocha on weed? the North are going to rule dis country for 16yrs straight through APC.
