2023 PRESIDENTIAL RACE: I Will Ask Tinubu To Step Down If….-Rochas Okorocha | READ DETAILS
By Nancy Okafor:
Rochas Okorocha, one of the presidential aspirants on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), has said that he would convince ex-Lagos governor Bola Tinubu to step down for him as the party’s presidential candidate.
Okorocha made this known while fielding questions from journalists at the All Progressives Congress (APC) national convention in Abuja.
It was gathered that the former governor of Imo state noted that he and Tinubu are mostly likely to become major candidates from southern Nigeria.
He said: “Uncle Tinubu and I are most likely to be (the major candidates from southern Nigeria). I know that at the appropriate time, it may be because he is the one pushing up in the southwest and I am in the southeast.
“So let us see what happens between us. And if that is it, I will ask him to relax a bit so that we can move this section forward.
“The people naturally love me and I think it is because they believe I care; they believe I love and have sympathy for humanity, they believe I am detribalized.
“They believe I do not know religion or tribe, Muslim, Christian, Igbo or Hausa, Yoruba. All I see is a human being and that is what makes the difference on my side.’’
Okorocha urged Nigerians to use their voter cards well because it was worth much more than they thought, adding that 2023 would present an opportunity for them to make the right choices.
