Anybody who wants Igbo votes must sign a proper MoU with us —Chekwas Okorie, ex-APGA national chairman

Chekwas Okorie, former national chairman of APGA, emphasized the importance of securing Igbo votes through a proper Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). Since the end of the Nigerian civil war in 1970, the Igbo people have lacked a unified political voice, despite their significant population and voting power in the country.

Okorie highlighted the need for a political summit to address the issues affecting the Igbo community and to mobilize them for national political engagement. He criticized the marginalization and lack of federal presence in the Igbo region, pointing out the disparity in government appointments and resource allocation.

Okorie urged politicians seeking Igbo support to sign MoUs outlining their commitments to the community's development. He emphasized the potential impact of the Igbo vote, citing past elections where the community's support significantly influenced the outcomes.

Ultimately, Okorie stressed the importance of political engagement and unity among the Igbo people to address their long-standing challenges and achieve meaningful representation in Nigerian politics.
