Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, has advised Igbos living in the North against leaving the places they currently reside ahead of the general elections.
Okorocha made the call while speaking to journalists in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, after a meeting of leaders of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
He said that the fear is unfounded and they should disregard the rumours and the pronouncements of people like Asari Dokubo and other militants who advocate violence.
He called on them to stay in their places of abode during the elections, saying that such movement will only be necessary if they were going home to cast their votes in the elections.
Okorocha decried the call by the leader of the Niger Delta Peoples Volunteer Force, NDPVF, while assuring that the elections would be peaceful, free and fair.
He dismissed the idea of Buhari Islamising the country being propagated by the ruling Peoples Democratic Party(PDP) and accused the party of dividing Nigerians along ethnic and religious lines.
“It is uncalled for. There is no need for it. This election as far as we are concerned will be peaceful. Nigeria and Nigerians are only passing through a trial period in their political history. That does not mean it will bring about crisis. I don’t think so. Unless for Igbos who have registered at home. They should come home to vote. But those who registered in the North should stay there,” the governor said.
He said what is before Nigerians now is more than the sentiments of tribe and religion but what they will do to fix and improve the country. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday

ReplyDeleteYou will remain ignorant for the rest of your miserable life,how can you hate a whole tribe? Can't you see something is seriously wrong with you.
DeleteMind you,in every tribe there good people,bad people,thieves,robbers,liers,caring people, saddists,etc. I believe you lack the knowledge you need to realize all that,therefore, go back to school so that you can become a better person. And please, don't hate!
He's a useless nobody and will forever remain so. rotten maggot. who cares about his stupid opinion? You hate igbos and you think they like u? fool.
DeletePlease, I support APC/Buhari presidency but I wouldn't advise any Ibo people to remain in the north. Any small thing infuriates a typical Hausa man irrespective of his political or religious affiliation. It's in their blood. Trust me, if GEJ wins, they'll riot . And if GMB wins, they'll also riot. Fucking bunch of illiterates!

ReplyDeletei also hate bunch of bastard called ndigbo to the core read what this prodigal son of thousand whore's said about hausa people Anonymous February 4, 2015 at 8:38 AM
ReplyDeleteIt is a pity Rochas and Amaechi do not know what they are doing to Igbo people Buhari said in BBC Hausa that why Igbo people hate him was because of what happened during the war and he does not have any regrets about that , that if the war happens again that he will kill all Igbo people. Please do not wait for the war to happen again fly for your dear life, because this time around the war will not be fraught in Igbo land it will be carried to their domain.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous Feb 4, 2015 @ 12:10 PM - talk to your Hausa people to be accommodating. Have you heard anywhere in Nigeria where opposition thugs burn vehicles and beat people up since the beginning of this campaign? Why only in the North? Only Zombies act without reasoning - . Mtcheeeew.
