Former governor of Imo State, Rochas Okorocha has stated that the Igbo ethnic group have a lot to lose should the country break up.
Okorocha, who made these comments in Abuja in Abuja at the weekend, warned that Igbos will be the worst-hit region should the country split up. He pointed out that Igbos should push towards fixing the country and not its disintegration.
The Senator disclosed that Igbos are nationalistic in nature and should disregard any push for the nation’s 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 the former President, Obasanjo; former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar; Buba Marwa, just to name a few”.
