Imo state governor, Rochas Okorocha, has disclosed that he will suspend his presidential ambition if President Muhammadu Buhari seeks re-election.

The governor said this when hosting youth delegates from all the geo-political zones of the country.

He also said he would not run until endorsed by 10 million Nigerians.

”May I remind all of you that my joy this evening has no bounds for the singular fact that the Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo, Ijaw, northern minorities, western and eastern minorities, Muslims and Christians and others can sit down in a roundtable and speak like members of one family. If only for this, my mission for this nation is today achieved.

”I am an Igbo man with Igbo parentage. I was born and raised in the north. The north gave me education, guaranteed my childhood, even when I was not worthy to be called anybody in this world.

”I did all my schooling— primary, secondary and tertiary— in the northern part of this country. I finished and needed to be successful and wealthy. My encounter with someone from the South-West gave me the financial empowerment.

”So you can see that in my person, I have no choice whatsoever but to be a detribalized Nigerian, having been born of Igbo parentage, raised up by the North and empowered by the West. Nigeria remains my constituency,” he said.

Okorocha said that its a well-known fact that he was not in politics for self-aggrandizement or as a means to seek a livelihood.

”I believe that one day it will become a manifest truth that somebody somewhere really cared for this nation.

In my quiet time have I gone through lamentations, thinking about our nation and particularly. So is the youth of Nigeria, believe me, if our youths are not alright, our nation can never be alright,” he said.
