Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State, on Wednesday, distanced the people of the South East geo-political zone from the protest over the arrest of the director of Radio Biafra by security operatives saying that such a protest had no supporter or blessing of the governors and leaders form the zone.
Okorocha who spoke through his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Sam Onwuemedo, in a statement made available to newsmen in Owerri, regretted that the protest over Radio Biafra and arrest of its director would not add any value to development of the zone and life of the people in the area.
The governors and leaders of the South-East condemn the protests, especially for the manner they were carried out in the name of Biafra. If a section of the people in the South-East or even the whole people in the geo-political zone protest over the bad shape of the federal roads in the area or protest over the total negligence of the geo-political zone, every governor and leader in the area would support that.
“The South-East is an integral part of Nigeria and the governors and leaders from the area believe in the unity of the country and would always work towards sustaining the unity. And as far as the governors and leaders of the South-East are concerned, those behind the campaign for Biafra have their ulterior motive, which has nothing to do with corporate interest of Ndi-Igbo in Nigeria of our collective dream”.
According to him, “the concern of the governors and other South-East leaders is to get what is due for us in our country, and any other quest, especially for Biafra is diversionary”.
Okorocha therefore called on those behind protests on the basis of Biafra to give peace a chance and regretted that some Igbo people could get involved in a protest that whose end- result won’t benefit Ndi-Igbo in any way.
He said that the unity of Nigeria was not negotiable, and that the South-East people strongly believed in the sovereignty of the country and would work assiduously to ensure its sustenance.

Honestly it's nonsense
ReplyDeleteWell said rochas. Those agitating for BIAFRA should as well cease the opportunity to protest for good roads and other relevant things. This biafra dream is dead and will never see daylight.
DeleteRising sun Ko setting suN ni.
Those protesters are miscreants and hoodlums. No enlightened entity will indulge in such.
This idiot man should just shut up. He has no moral credence to judge anyone. In as much as I don't support the protests,okorocha is a standard bastard,a sycophant,trumphet blower and capital fool who has done nothing for his state. He should take several seats or continue his love affair with his second in silence. Let us hear word biko!
DeleteStella i know this is your blog, but enough of this biafra talk. Some people are using it as an Avenue to start tribal war here. Abeg e don do!
DeleteSierra no mind d man.sInce I passed Imo a few weeks ago,I said for ma mind Okorocha no suppose dey talk o.

DeleteYour careless comments will soon land you in trouble. You think you are faceless on the Internet threatening the peace and security of Nigeria? You will be picked up soon and dealt with.
DeleteI think this moneymaker person is a teenager. Won't you go to school today?
DeleteAnon13:08,Lmaooooooo.
DeleteI am patiently waiting.
It's going to be a repeat of "Pericome Vs Tax Collectors at Upper Iweka"
Hmmmmmmmmm Okorocha d coded Biafra supporter..I know some of una dat sponsors biafra privately and come out to deny it openly..Hmmmmmmmm make i keep shut biko..Nnamdi Kanu keep doing what u are doing..U know those financing our cause..Hehehhehe..They can continue denying in public.I dont blame them shaaa..Who wants to be an enemy of government openly? No one.
ReplyDeleteGbam!
DeleteThose youths ain't supporting themselves.
But what the youths protesting don't know is that their sponsors are just trying to use them to achieve their own personal ulterior motive.
Mtcheww
It means they have no heart. If they cannot come out openly n ask d govt to divide nigeria, then biafra will never be achieved cos no big Igbo leader is ready to face d govt squarely. Until they come out n all Igbo leaders form a united front, then only taxi n keke napepe pple will continue to rally in vain. I'm Igbo but I won't resign from my good job n carry placards n agitate for something that it's leaders are cowards.
DeleteI suspect Okoroacha too. He wants to be a President at all cost. I am Igbo and I say No! To Biafra! Nigeria we hail thee!
DeleteStupid woman! You know nothing! You will be picked up too.
DeleteOkorocha na hausa fag oh. He is but half igbo. He's got no moral grounds to stand and talk at all at all. He should gerrarahia jor!
DeleteWeldon
ReplyDeletePls do not be deceived like azikiwe decieved tafawa balewa. All igboids want biafra. FACT. Southsoutherners is another issue. When they want to carry out their treacherous act u will find out okorocha went abroad for official duty like d 'great zik'. Lmao! Yoruba ronu o.
DeleteThe more i think about it, d more i dont mind nigeria splitting into 5 regions. arewa, oodua, biafra, niger middle belt (north central nations) and united southern belt (south south nations). We should have intelligent minds join this discussion & not these violent touts. Nigeria cannot dissolve into other nations having minorities. Then theres no point, cos it wld still be d same issues u faced in nigeria.
It can come to pass peacefully & we can all toast to our 100yr history as we dissolve & face our respective futures like USSR did. Buharis name would be engraved in stone forever like gorbachev.
-Bisola.
all you agitators of Biafra fuck you all one NIGERIA all the way
ReplyDeleteiwatago

Rochas should focus on delivering good governance to the Imo people and stop spewing trash. All your wayo has been unveiled, calling us my people my people where in actual sense it's my family my family. What we practice in Imo State is Familocracy - Government of the family for the family and by the family!
ReplyDeleteDon't mind the animal!
DeleteHmmmm just passing!
ReplyDeleteMr Rochas, Do U sleep well? I ask bcos U have incurred d wrath of Imo people and Ur case file is before God. You are yet to reply 'My people, My People' on Y U suddenly developed hatred for them. Its obvious you dont care and U feel U are above everyone & the law (quite unfortunate for the masses).I can vividly recall how the masses fought 2 make sure U became the Governor of Imo state despite Ohakim's plots. Now U have turned imo state wealth to Ur family Inheritance. To think U influenced Ur In-laws ministerial nomination makes me wonder the future of this country. Continue, Have it in mind that after the rain comes the Sun. Ask Ibori if U doubt.
ReplyDeleteAnother daft anonymous idiot!
DeleteRochas should be the last person to talk trash about Biafra. He should concentrate on the little one assigned to him to manage that he hasn't done anything about for the last five years. 419 Governor
ReplyDeletePL THE GREAT now you talk about tribal war
ReplyDeleteWhen you, money maker and the other idiot followers were constantly making tribalistic comments on this blog for no reason at all you didn't think of the consequences
Now you are crying wolf. You are a fool.
Suck it up, people are saying the truth.
Hmmmmmm!!!!!!!! God which way?
ReplyDeleteRochas sounding like a saint in the eyes of Nde Awusa and APC -shame on you ORO. You better fix Imo before talking trash on people that don't kill. FG should leave Mazi Nnamdi alone and focus on those killing innocent people. Rochas conduct LG election and stop pocketing the allocation meant for them.
ReplyDeleteOwerri wu okemba.
Some people still talk about dusted and done Biafra???? I am not part of this agitation. One Nigeria pls...........Jokers should go rest
