Okorocha explains why South East cannot win 2023 presidency without North

Okorocha

Senator Rochas Okorocha has stated that the Southeast zone cannot produce a president in 2023 without the support of the North and other regions.

The former governor of Imo State disclosed this while addressing journalists on Abuja yesterday.

He said: “The Igbo alone cannot make themselves the president. The quicker they come together and start shoring up support from the North and other parts of the region the better it is to realise the dream.

“I know we shall come up to that point one day when who becomes the president would not be based on tribe or religion. For as long we keep promoting tribal and religious sentiments, we are not getting it right.”

Okorocha further stated that religion and ethnicity should play no role in politics because it is best when power is given to someone wjo has the vision irrespective of where he comes from “because tribe cannot put food on the table of the common man or guarantee security.”

“As you observe, the politics of today, everybody looks up to the North because it has the large chunk of vote to determine who becomes the president of Nigeria. One good thing I know of the North, especially the Islamic world, is that a good Muslim is a man of conscience who believes in equity, justice and unity.

“That is the only hope for anybody who wants to contest from the southern region. The North can say for the purpose of equity and not showing tribal and religious differences, that the North, having served as president, let someone else from the South be the next president,” he added.
