South East APC wants Igbos to vote for Okorocha and be Part of ‘Change’

Sharing is caring!

The South east chapter of the All Progressives Congress, has urged Imo State residents to come out en-masse and ensure Governor Rochas Okorocha’s victory in the supplementary election scheduled for Saturday.

The party released a statement via its APC spokesman in the South-East, Osita Okechukwu, titled: “Appeal to Imo People to Vote for Okorocha: the only Ndigbo’s Egg in New Nigeria”, claiming that the igbos need a worthy representative in the incoming government.

The statement said: “we urge the good people of Imo State to complete the good works they have started, for a vote for Owelle Rochas Okorocha is a golden vote to retain the only egg Ndigbo has in the basket of the new Nigeria General Muhammadu Buhari (GMB) is constructing.

“Every other geopolitical zone has a governor from the APC, even South South, where President Goodluck Jonathan comes from, we cannot be the only exception.

“Ndigbo lost the coveted price of Senate President for putting all our eggs in one Peoples Democratic Party-Basket for no rational reasons and may lose the speakership for not voting a ranking federal legislator.

“Habba my people how do we explain marginalisation this time around? When we have the opportunity to join the victory party. We all know how influential the governors and their forum are, therefore can we shoot ourself on the foot by blandly voting PDP?.

“Is it not shameful that the great Ndigbo, one of the tripod in our dear country, out of sentiment is missing in the National Order of Precedence – President, Vice President, Senate President if care is not taken Speaker, and Chief Justice of Nigeria? This lacuna makes it imperative for us to have one of our governors in the Progressives Governors Forum.

“We appealed to Ndigbo not to put all the eggs in one basket. I personally reminded our people of Senator Chuba Okadigbo’s premonition that GMB will form the bedrock upon which PDP will be shoved aside. Tabugbo! (Today is early), for our people to decide”, he maintained.”
