Igbo people will lose more if Nigeria breaks up – Rochas Okorocha warns

Former Imo State Governor, Senator Rochas Okorocha, has warned Igbos over attempting to break up from Nigeria. He said the zone will lose more if the country breaks up.

Okorocha said this following increased agitations in the Southern region of Nigeria by several secessionist groups.

Okorocha warned that the South-East should rather push towards fixing the country and not its disintegration.

He said;

“It is only an Igbo man that goes to a place and remains put in that place, buys a land and builds a house for his family without feeling insecure. The Igbos will lose more if Nigeria divides.”

“Most Nigerian leaders who were successful had one thing or the other to do with the Igbos. It is either they married Igbo women or had some links with them. I can call names like former President, (Olusegun) Obasanjo; former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, Buba Marwa, just to name a few”.
