Igbos, Better off In APC-Rochas Okorocha

Governor Owelle Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has called on Ndi Igbo to

work with team spirit and unity of purpose as to reposition the zone at

the main stream in Nigeria polity and that the Igbos are better off in

APC.
The governor who made this call while receiving Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo, Imo

State Chapter, who paid him courtesy call at the Government House Owerri,

regretted the level of marginalization of the Igbos in the affairs of the

nation, irrespective of the fact that they are part of the tripod of

Nigeria.
Governor Okorocha stated that all the key positions in the country eluded

Ndi Igbo including the citing of developmental projects by the Federal

government in the name of marginalization, he stressed that he contested

the Action Peoples Congress (APC) Presidential Primaries to ensure that

Igbos are given their pride of place in Nigeria, pointing out that “for me

time has come for Igbos to reason together, Ndi Igbo should no longer be

relegated to the background, we should take our rightful position in

Nigeria polity and say no to second fidel. With my action it is critical

clear to APC and entire Nigeria that Igbos are alive to take their

position. I will not stop the struggle till there is liberation for Ndi

Igbo and until ordinary man is liberated”.
“What we need is a national party that will carry Ndi Igbo along, Igbos

are better off in APC”, as he took the group down memory lane.

Governor Okorocha enumerated some of the achievements of Rescue Mission

Government in the State in the areas of massive infrastructural

development, free education including the up spring of four new

Universities in Imo State under three(3) years and 7 months, among others,

maintaining that the difference between APC and PDP's years of

maladministration in the State bear eloquent testimonies for 2015's

general election as he assured of his preparedness backed with vision to

take the State to greater height.
Owelle Okorocha challenged Ohaneze Ndi Igbo to reconcile their differences

and speak with one voice, as an apex “umbrella that covers the entire Igbo

nation. You must speak for Ndi Igbo, raise good leaders,” he continued as

he called on the group to partner with the Rescue Government.

Speaking on behalf of the Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo, the President Imo State

Chapter, Dr Ezechi Chukwu commended governor Okorocha on his tremendous

achievements in the State based on his administrative acumen which has

transformed the image of the State within and beyond the State as the envy

of many.
Dr. Ezechi Chukwu described Ohanaeze as a mass movement organization which

stands to support every government that is people oriented. He stated that

governor Okorocha's inability to secure the APC Presidential ticket is an

answered prayer for him not to leave Imo State at this point in time. He

expressed the group's unalloyed support to Okorocha even in his second

term bid and urged him to consolidate on his landmark achievements which

are second to non in the State.
