Okorocha Critiques Obi's Presidency Proposal, Backs Tinubu
Rochas Okorocha, the former governor of Imo State, described the four-year single-term presidency proposed by Peter Obi, the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, as a dangerous gamble. Okorocha made these remarks during an appearance on Channels Television's Today programme on October 29.
He challenged the viability of Obi's governance model as the 2027 general elections approach. Additionally, Okorocha cautioned the South East geopolitical zone against making hasty political decisions, advocating for a more calculated approach to alliances ahead of the elections.
He expressed support for President Bola Tinubu's bid to return to Aso Rock in 2027, arguing that Tinubu had not acted against the interests of any Igbo person, making him a more reliable option for the South East than Obi. Okorocha's comments are significant given his and Obi's roots in the South East, a region that supported Obi during the 2023 presidential race.
