Imo State Governor, Owelle Rochas
Okorocha has described those clamouring for the zoning of the 2019
gubernatorial ticket in the state to Owerri zone as educated illiterates,
uniformed and clannish.
Okorocha said those calling for
zoning did not have the capacity and that he had performed excellently because
he was never a product of zoning.
The governor said Imo was not
like Kogi, Plateau Benue or other states where they have different ethnic
groups who have to adopt zoning formula for power balancing.
According to him, Imo State is
made up of one ethnic group; that speaks one language and therefore does not
need to zone the office of the governor.
Okorocha stated this yesterday
during an interactive sessions with journalists at the Government House,
Owerri.
“What is certain is that there must be a new governor of the state in 2019 and for me those talking about zoning in 2019 are very foolish, educated illiterates and clannish and the era of zoning in the state is over.Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
“The point is that a zone cannot be a governor, it is only an individual who has the capacity to pilot the affairs of the state whether it is in Owerri, Orlu or Okigwe let them present themselves.
“Those who are talking of zoning immediately they get to office what they will be concerned about would be their family members and abandon the state as has been in the past.
“So, the issue of zoning is gone and wherever the persons comes from as longer as he has that capacity and good let it be”, he said.
