The apex Igbo socio political
organization, the Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has faulted claims by the Imo State
Governor, Rochas Okorocha that Igbos play the worst politics in Nigeria.
Okorocha had called for a change in
strategy if the South East was to attain political relevance in Nigeria’s
political space.
Reacting, Ohanaeze challenged
Okorocha to carry out a critique of his remarks and come up with a more
appreciable opinion.
In a statement issued in
Abakaliki, the Ebonyi state capital by its National Publicity Secretary, Prince
Uche Achi Okpaga, the body described Okorocha’s claim as untrue.
Okpaga said, “Every human being
(or race) is affected or influenced by his cultural, religious and social
backgrounds. Ndigbo are no exception.
“The republican and egalitarian
nature of Ndigbo distinguishes them and, as well influences them in all
ramifications.
“To say that Ndigbo play the
worst politics without first juxtaposing it viz-a-viz these inalienable factors
that influence them may not be correct.
“I advise whoever is of this
opinion to x-ray it once again and profess a more appreciable opinion.”
