"In 2015 I will be the president of the country,"
Okorocha declared to loud cheers from broom-
wielding members of the All Progressives Congress
at a rally attended by prominent members of the
party in the South-East.
He said his name would come first on the list of APC
presidential aspirants and that when the party's
aspirants were being counted, his would be
mentioned before those of a former military Head of
State, Maj.-Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (retd.); former
Vice President Atiku Abubakar; and Kano State
governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso.
He said, "Three months ago when I said I want to be
president they asked, "Can an Igboman be
president?"
"But now when they count those contesting for
president they will first count Rochas Okorocha,
before Buhari, Atiku Abubakar and Kwankwaso.
"When they said they have zoned the presidency to
the North, I asked, "When was the meeting held?"
"Now we have zoned it to Igboland. In 2015, there
will be a turnaround in the fortunes of Ndigbo."
Recalling the suicide bombing at a school in Yobe
State earlier on Monday, in which several students
died, Okorocha said that the PDP had failed God.
He said Igbo had been neglected by President
Goodluck Jonathan such that no Igbo man is
currently occupying any prominent position in the
country.
He also accused prominent Igbo PDP politicians of not
caring about the well being of Igbo.
"They only know themselves; they don't care about
Igbo. APC is an emergency party for a new Nigeria; I
would not have joined APC if PDP was doing well. We
will defeat PDP in 2015," he declared.
Okorocha stressed that he had the resources to
realise his ambition, noting that he was richer than
his rivals in the PDP.
