A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Joe Igbokwe, has said it would take the Southeast region 20 to 25 years of hard work to produce the president of Nigeria.
Naija News reports that Igbokwe made the assertion while responding to criticisms directed at his comment on a Facebook post on Friday, 15 September 2023.
Igbokwe, whose continued romance with APC has been perceived as betrayal, without mincing words, described the Igbos as bigots who assume a selfish sense of superiority among other ethnic groups, which is the region’s biggest problem.
He said Igbos have become onlookers in Nigerian politics because they have refused to build bridges and play real politics.
Igbokwe further likened the situation to what was obtained during the Nigerian Civil War, stressing the Igbos were still making the mistakes they made during the civil war.
The APC chieftain also referred to the large-scale violence, killings, and kidnappings perpetuated in the Southeast, adding that Igboland has been destroyed.
He said, “This is the problem. You terrible and pathetic bigots think you are the best God ever created, and this is the biggest problem facing Igboland today.
“Jisienu Ike. Every election year you cry. Play politics. Mbanu. Make friends across Nigeria. Mbanu. Build bridges. Mbanu. We have become onlookers in Nigeria. See 2031 and 2039 are also settled. Continue.
“But know this and have inner peace: it will take any Igbo man 20 -25 years of hard work to produce the president of Nigeria.
“We are getting worse by the day, and I am worried to the marrows given what I read here. Speak the truth and instantly you become a traitor, saboteur, betrayer, sell-out, the kind of stuff we witnessed during the civil war from 1967 to 1970 and Biafra lost many competent, educated and committed Soldiers.
