Rochas Okorocha, governor of Imo
state, says Igbos may not get a chance at presidency if they fail to vote for
President Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday.
The governor spoke at zonal
rallies in Okigwe area of the state and Owerri, the state capital.
Okorocha expressed regret that
“some Igbo politicians are campaigning to deceive the Igbo again as they did in
2015”.
He accused the Igbos of playing
politics like a “trader who only thinks of immediate benefits”.
He advised them to heed his
counsel as what he tells them would be to their advantage.
“Some people especially our
brothers are campaigning now against President Buhari saying he is Boko Haram
that he is a herdsman and so on,” he said.
“You can remember in 2015, I was
telling the Igbos to cast their vote for Buhari because he will win with or
without the votes of the Igbo.
“I was called all sorts of
derogatory names. Some said I was going to Islamise the whole Igbo. Is Igboland
Islamised today?
“Igbo today are playing politics
with the mindset of a trader, thinking only of the immediate benefits unlike
other tribes that are playing real politics.
“My people listen to me and
listen real good, whatever I tell you to do, do it as it will profit us. I am
telling you today that Buhari will win.
“On Saturday, if Igbo supports
Buhari and Buhari wins, in 2023 Ndigbo will have the right to demand for Igbo
Presidency.
“Those who love Igbo nation must
vote for President Buhari because if we miss this chance we may not get the
presidency even by 2023 or 2027 or 2031.
“The time is right for the Igbo
nation to play the right politics so as to have a clear chance by 2023.”
