Rochas Okorocha – Igbos Play The Worst Politics In Nigeria

The Governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, made a speech that Hausa people can win election without the Igbos. He said that Igbos play what he tagged to be the "worst politics" in Nigeria,

He made it known  during an interactive session with top media practitioners, in owerri. According to Rochas,
 
“Igbos have to change their strategy, in order to reclaim their relevance in Nigeria’s power equation. Quote me anywhere, Igbos play the worst politics in Nigeria. Today, Hausas have realised they can win an election without Igbos.

Hitherto, Hausa used to think they could not win elections without Igbo. Now, they believe with the combined massive populations of Lagos and Kano, they no longer need Igbos to win, hence, the latest alliance between Hausa and Yoruba.

I’ve always said Igbo have this feeling of abandonment. IPOB would have made better impact if they had operated under any other name other than Biafra, to push their demand for equity in sharing of the nation’s political and economic resources. .

The call for secession was childish. IPOB should have fought their struggle like the Niger Delta youths, Arewa youths and Yoruba group. Who is Nnamdi Kanu to ask Rochas to follow him to war?


Check it out, no Hausa man living in the South East owns a duplex neither can you see a Yoruba man who lives in a room and parlour apartment of his own or an investment worth N20 million.

But, should Nigeria break up today, Igbos will lose trillions in properties and other investments in Lagos, the North and other parts of the country. 

The South South has produced a president, the South West has produced a president and vice president while the North has produced many presidents.

By political calculation, it was expected that very soon, Igbo would have a chance to produce the president, but, the same Igbo want to break away from Nigeria. Where is our wisdom?

Regrettably, IPOB activities has created fears in the minds of Hausa and other ethnic nationalities in the country, that, once Igbo becomes president, they would secede. We should all condemn the call for secession because if Nigeria breaks up, Igbos will lose.”
