Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha, has claimed that Igbos play what he termed as the ‘worst politics’ among the ethnic and geopolitical zones in the country.
He stressed that Hausa had realized that they can now win an election without Igbos.
He said, “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.”
Okorocha, who said this in Owerri, during an interactive session with top media practitioners, also condemned activities of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) and reiterated his stance for a united Nigeria.
“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.“So, where is Igbo today in Nigerian politics?” he asked rhetorically.
“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. This is why we all must condemn IPOB’s call for break up.”

Okorocha said by its struggle for secession, IPOB had created a feeling of distrust in Igbo among other tribes, thus jeopardizing the chance of Igbo in the country’s power equation.
“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.
“So, where are we? This is why I said IPOB were childish in their struggle. We should all condemn the call for secession because if Nigeria breaks up, Igbos will lose.”

This has to be one of the most sincere home truths coming from this fellow...It is unfortunate that the Igbos have decided to take a divisive route instead of coming up with a better strategy than break -up.. Its a shame that a man like Kanu with zero antecedents can make the Igbos think he is their savior...The only savior the Igbos have is themselves by coming together as an ethnic group to forge a more cohesive agenda for their region..Then , people like myself and well reasoned individuals can support them..Enough of this inferiority and hatred agenda from the Igbos...its shameful that this ethnic group that claims to develop others cannot do it for themselves..Igbos wake up!!!!!!!

Good Question. Where is Nnamdi Kanu and his parents. I have a feeling someone should go into hat Palace of his father and check if there is a well, or other recesses where they could  be found alive, or otherwise.

You have said the most sensible thing since you were born Okorocha. If they can win elections without Ndigbo why bother with Ndigbo. Let them loose. Ndigbo can survive without the zoo. Nnamdi Kanu is a bonafide Igbo man. Are you? So listen when talks. Okorocha is one person that looks foolish and acts foolish. Mere sight of him irritates me to the bone.

This HausaFulani apologist is simply deluded & stupid! Does he know more than half population on Lagos State is Igbo & same goes for Kano? And by the way, does electorial victory depend solely on ethnicity?

I see how useless and foolish Okorocha is. Everywhere in the world Igbos has properties. I see that you are afraid to lose your Criminal and Ritual Money. In life you don't need to count loses, What matters is our Right and Survival. It takes only few years to acquire Property. What of if earthquake or Flood damage it all like what has happen in Mezico, won't life continue. This man is a fool and afraid to lose the money and properties of our people he stole. You have even answer the question yourself. You think we are one Nigeria, Your Statement explained it better that we are not one Nigeria. If we are one Nigeria why don't those Hausa and Yoruba build houses in the South East. , If we or one Nigeria why don;t our Votes count. Why No single International Airport operating fully in South East, Why no Sea port, why Must we go to only Lagos and Abuja for Visa, Why not in River state or at list any state in the south east. I regret wasting my time on this man and his stupid talk. Shame on you Rochas. Your tenure will soon end like other, Ask Achkwu Udenwa and Ohakim where are they today. it will clear your eyes another Govern will come and can probe you. Political Criminals. Foolish talk.

This guy is as foolish as could be. Realistically, the real Igbo people do not wish to hear anything from this fool. Igbos and NK did not have to do anything to be called Nigerians, if at all that is what we are. And Nnamdi Azikiwe did not please any butt holes to append his signature to the declaration of Nigerian independence. Just because u are butthole kisser, doesn't mean Igbos should follow suit. After u ganged up with your Hausa brothers to kill Igbo demonstrators, the only explanation u think u owe Igbos is talking about winning a presidential election. Like you rightly pointed out, Igbos have properties worth trillions of naira all over Nigeria.They did not win presidential elections before they achieved those things. If your little mind tells u that they will lose all of them, then u need to go back to the school of economic and diplomatic relations. Why do u think Nigerians have houses in USA, Europe, UAE u name them? In any case, one needs to remind u that people who own those estates u and your Hausa brothers are hoping to inherit are grandpas and people who have already lived their lives. They have made their contributions to Nigeria and to mankind; therefore, u can have all those houses, like after the war. But trust the Igbo resilience and perseverance, their children will even progress acquire more properties without those houses. At this point, I call for your impeachment and removal from office - Igbos have passed a vote of no confidence on you.  Hear one, tell all, Igbos have disowned Rochas Okorocha.

The typical modern day Igbos. They hear the truth, they insult your generation and are against you. This is how they got themselves marginalized. A tribe that is about 99% Christians. Nothing to learn from them about Christianity. Full of hatred and bitterness. Against whom? sad to say, NOBODY!. How can any human being think properly with so much hate in his heart? God help them not us.
