Rochas Okorocha, the Imo state governor, is of the belief that he has a better chance of becoming Nigeria’s first Igbo president. Okorocha who is a chieftain in the ruling APC, made this known while speaking with newsmen at the state government house in Owerri, the state capital yesterday August 9th. In his words;”I stand a better chance of making the Presidency in 2023 but my greatest challenge will come from the Igbo. It is our character. It will be a foolish thing to imagine that the Igbo will support me” he said. Rochas continued saying the Igbo political class has the ‘pull-him-down syndrome’ where they never support or believe in anyone from their region. He stated that all the support needed to achieve his presidential aspiration will come from other regions.
