Imo State Governor, Chief Rochas
Okorocha, yesterday, declared his intention to run
for the 2015 presidential election on the platform
of the All Progressives Congress, APC.
In an emphatic statement, the Governor said, “I
will be Nigeria’s President in 2015.”
He made the declaration at a rally organized by
the Enugu State chapter of the APC at the
Igbozurume Hall, in Emene, Enugu State.
The governor said Jonathan was not an Igbo man
and that the PDP-led government had consistently
marginalized the people of the South-East.
According to him: “Jonathan is not from the
South-East, the Vice President is not from here,
the Senate President, the Speaker of the House of
Representatives, the Chief Justice of Nigeria, CJN,
the Inspector General of Police, IGP, and the
security chiefs, none of them is from the South-
East. Igbo people have no place in Nigeria. How
can we say that PDP belongs to Ndigbo?
“Niger Bridge is 419, Enugu/Onitsha and Port-
Hacourt Express way are all evidences of their
hatred for Ndigbo; they don’t remember the poor,
all our leaders in PDP are only interested in their
pockets, they don’t care about our children’s
education.
“We are angry and we said we have to come out;
in Imo State, poor people are happy now, they
study from primary to university without paying
penny; our God party is bigger than their God, if
what they are doing to the poor people here is
good, let them continue but if it is bad, God will
uproot them.
In 2015, I will be the president of Nigeria, I have
gone to Kaduna, I have gone to Lagos, I am in
Enugu today, they are already afraid; they are
now calling for dialogue. If they are discussing
those contesting for presidency on the platform
of APC, Owelle will be the first, Buhari and then
Kwakwanso; they said it was zoned to the North,
I told our party, when did the meeting take place?
I also met with my brother Ngige and we zoned it
to Ndigbo.
“APC is an emergency party for new Nigeria, if
PDP is doing well, I would not have joined APC,
when God wants to do something, he does it
from anywhere, it doesn’t matter whether
Nwobodo, Ken, Nwodo, Ekweremadu are with us
or not.
“I heard that some of them are boasting of
money, but tell them that Rochas has come; any
day you hear that PDP brought money with pick-
up, tell me so that I will bring money with trailer.
All these PDP leaders in South-East, if you put
their money together, it is not equal to half of my
money.”
