Rochas Okorocha, governor of Imo State in South East Nigeria says he will be in the race for the presidency in 2023.
Okorocha, who is believed to have misruled Imo in the more than seven years of coming to power and planned to foist his son inlaw Uche Nwosu on the people to cover his tracks is not new to jestering in politics.
Okorocha told a gathering of Orlu jourmalists, his kinsmen in Owerri that je will throw his hats in the ring for Nigeria’s number one job because he sees himself as the rallying point foe Ndigbo.
Many Igbo leaders will be full of laughter after hearing such but cannot ne surprised about the character of the messenger.
The Igbo think the presidency should be zoned to their area in 2023 but the South West have also thrown their weight behind President Muhammadu Buhari believing they will get the slot after him.
Both the All Progressive Congress and the People’s Democratic Party are dangling 2023 to the South East as election joker.
