I'll Not Contest For Presidency Until 10 Million Nigerians Endorse Me – Okorocha


ROCHAS Okorocha, Imo State Governor, has said that he will not contest for presidential election at any given time unless 10 million Nigerians endorse him.


Okorocha gave the statement in Owerri, the Imo State capital, when he addressed youth delegates from all the geo-political zones in the country, who paid him a courtesy visit.

He said that, as a child, the north gave him education and secured his future and was born of Igbo patronage, raised by the north and empowered by the west, hence, he needed nothing more than to be a detribalised Nigerian.

Okorocha also said that he is in politics not for personal aggrandisement but for the sheer glory of it and for the reason that he came to serve selflessly.

According to him, “I will not run in 2019 if President Muhammadu Buhari will be running. Even at that, I will not also run at any given time unless 10 million Nigerians endorse me.

“May I remind all of you that my joy this evening has no bounds for the singular fact that the Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, Ijaw, northern minorities, western and eastern minorities, Muslims and Christians and others can sit down in a roundtable and speak like members of one family. If only for this, my mission for this nation is today achieved.

“I am an Igbo man with Igbo parentage. I was born and raised in the north. The north gave me education, guaranteed my childhood, even when I was not worthy to be called anybody in this world.”
