Rochas Okorocha, Governor of
Imo State has warned Igbo leaders to be careful before adopting a candidate for
the 2019 presidential election.
This is coming barely 24 hours
after leaders from eastern part of Nigeria declared their support for the
candidature of Atiku Abubakar and Peter Obi of the Peoples Democratic Party
ahead of the 2019 presidential election.
In a statement on Thursday,
issued by Sam Onwemeodo, Okorocha’s chief press secretary, the Governor advised
the leaders to apply wisdom and thread with caution ahead of 2019 election.
The statement read: “On the
adoption of a presidential candidate by Igbo leaders and their playing partisan
politics, my advice is that Igbo leaders should toe the path of wisdom and
should not come again adopting a candidate.
“Mine is an advice that the
Igbos should be careful not to play the same type of very bad politics we
played in the past which most of the times, kept us in political wilderness.
“As a people, we must be wise
now and never foreclose the possibility of any presidential candidate becoming
the president tomorrow.”
