“Igbos Should Expect Nothing From Buhari Second Term” – Rochas Okorocha

The Governor of Imo State, Governor Rochas Okorocha, has stated that there would be nothing for South East under President Muhammadu Buhari’s second term.

Governor Okorocha, who stated this while addressing newsmen on Tuesday at the Government House Owerri, before he left for Abuja, also said the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC, was full of controversies.“So long as the South-East region did not vote for Buhari, they should expect nothing from Buhari second tenure,” he said. Okorocha further said he was a lone voice in the wilderness of South-East zone telling them to vote APC but they refused to listen. He said they rather, decided to give their support to Atiku of the PDP because of their son, Peter Obi, thinking that PDP will win but the story is now different. According to him, 2023 presidency will not come to south-east zone because the people of the zone worked against Buhari, “while some principal offices will seize to come to the Zone because of their kind of politics of hatred and pull-him down syndrome.”

He thanked the people of the state for their support to him in the past eight years of his administration. The governor stated that if care is not taken, APC would cease to exist after 2019 going by the way the party operates. He alleged that the party was being misled by its National Chairman Adams Oshiomhole who he alleged “is piloting the affairs of the party with impunity, envy, greed and arrogance” Governor Okorocha disclosed that impunity by the Oshiomhole administration was becoming an aberration to the expectations of Nigerians before its emergence as a ruling party.

Stating that the activities of Oshiomhole and his conduct led to what the party is suffering today, Okorocha told the party officials and President Buhari to try and stop the ugly trend of the National chairman. He stressed further that the situation now in the party did not need what the party chairman is doing, else, it will lead to total collapse in the nearest future.
