Igbo people to produce the next Nigerian
president.
The former Governor who hinted on contesting in
the 2023 presidential election, made this known
while receiving a group called Igbos for Rochas
2023 President, led by Jeff Nwaoha from the five
states of the Southeast zone, stated that it is time
for the Igbos to produce the next president of
Nigeria.
Okorocha noted that all regions have produced a
president asides the South-East. He said;
Quote
“I am happy because you find me worthy. I am
happy because you have made huge sacrifices
driving through the long distance to meet with me
on Nigeria’s presidency. I have read in between
lines of your submission. That you want a Nigerian
presidency of Igbo extraction and you have found
me worthy for this position. I feel honoured and I
am happy.
“Let me salute you in the manner which you have
conducted yourself in a more peaceful approach
and this is commendable.
“It is true that Igbo are highly misunderstood but
allow me to say that Igbo are the most peaceful
Nigerians and wherever you find them they are
building bridges of peace and economic
development. The Igbos are the only people that
have invested more outside than what they had
invested in their own land.
“Igbo people alone cannot make the president of
Nigeria. We need the support of other regions of
this country to produce the president of Nigeria.
We need the Hausa, Yoruba and other regions to
be able to produce the presidency.
“For me, I have run for this office of the presidency
using different political parties and up to three
times now, I have run for the office of the
presidency under the ANPP, and the second time
under PDP, the third time in APC, and now If I
must run it is for the unity of Nigeria. If I must run,
it must be for the empowerment of the youths of
Nigeria, and if I must run for the presidency, it will
be to make this nation compete with other greater
nations of the world economically.
“The North has produced a president, the West has
produced the president and the South-south has
also produced a president of this country and we
have seen all they have done. It is time for Igbo to
produce a president and let us see how the Igbo
will change this country.”
