2027: ‘Hate for Buhari can’t be compared to that for Tinubu in Imo, Southeast’ – Okorocha

Former governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha, has said the hate for the late ex-President Muhammadu Buhari in Imo and the South-East can’t be compared to that for President Bola Tinubu.

Okorocha disclosed this while insisting that Tinubu has done no wrong to any Igbo man.

Featuring on Channels Television’s Politics Today, the former senator disclosed that Tinubu had Igbo friends while in Lagos.

He said: “You must understand that when we are talking about APC in Imo State, the time we had issues as APC was when Buhari was in government.

“In fact, the hate for Buhari can’t be compared to the imagery hate for Tinubu in Imo State or in the whole Southeast.

“So people must be careful not to mistake a transferred hate or transferred protest for what they don’t want as a governor to mean that it’s a protest against Tinubu.

“Tinubu has done no wrong to any Igbo man, his best friends in Lagos are Igbos. Let me tell you that, with my emergence now with this ticket, Tinubu will win in Imo State.

“I challenge Uzodinma to go to appeal, when the facts have spoken you can’t manipulate the law.”
