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

Former Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha has claimed that hostility towards late President Muhammadu Buhari in the South-East was greater than opposition to President Bola Tinubu.

According to Daily Post, Okorocha made the remarks during Thursday’s Politics Today programme on Channels Television.

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

Okorocha argued that dissatisfaction with state leadership should not automatically be interpreted as opposition to 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.”

The former senator also challenged Governor Hope Uzodinma over their disputed APC senatorial ticket.

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