Rochas Okorocha, Imo State
Governor has said he would sacrifice his 2019 presidential ambition if
President Muhammadu Buhari will contest.
Okorocha said this on the
sidelines of the APC National Executive Committee (NEC) meeting in Abuja, on
Tuesday.
The governor disclosed that
should Buhari signifies interest to run for 2019, “we will support him.”
According to Okorocha, the
president would follow due process in signifying in intentions for 2019 because
the All Progressives Congress, APC, is against imposition of candidates.
He said, “My president is very
democratic. If Mr. President wants to run for election, he will follow all the
processes and if he is the person, we will all support him.
“In APC, there is no imposition
of candidate. If Buhari is running, I will allow that man to continue, but if
he is not running, I won’t sacrifice my presidential ambition.”
Similarly, Governor of Plateau
State, Solomon Lalong, Kebbi State Governor, Atiku Bagudu and their Nasarawa
State counterpart, Tanko Al-Makura, endorsed Buhari for a second term.
Al-Makura noted that the ruling
party has no better candidate for the 2019 presidential election.
Rochas has nothing to sacrifice. His own people deeply hate him so much. Unless they suddenly say he is not an imolite and contest as a true son of some northern man
