Expect nothing from Buhari’s second term, Okorocha tells South East
Embattled outgoing governor of Imo State Rochas Okorocha has informed his kinsmen that they should expect nothing from the second tenure of President Muhammadu Buhari.
Okorocha who made the comments while addressing newsmen on Tuesday at the Government House Owerri, before he left for Abuja, said as long as Igbos did not vote for Buhari, they should in-turn expect nothing.
“So long as the South-East region did not vote for Buhari, they should expect nothing from Buhari second tenure,” he said.

Okorocha who said he was a lone voice in the wilderness of South-East zone telling them to vote APC but they refused to listen also added that 2023 presidency will not come to south-east zone because the people of the zone worked against Buhari, “while some principal offices will seize to come to the Zone because of their kind of politics of hatred and pull-him down syndrome.”
He also took a swipe at the National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress Adams Oshiomhole whom he alleged “is piloting the affairs of the party with impunity, envy, greed and arrogance”
Okorocha further added that impunity by the Oshiomhole administration was becoming an aberration to the expectations of Nigerians before its emergence as a ruling party.
