Governor Rochas Okorocha has said that a victory for President Buhari in the 2019 election is a victory for all Igbo people.
The Governor said this while addressing APC Women and Youth leaders in the South-East at the Government House, Owerri, Imo state.
Okorocha also said that the political elite are trying to paint a bad image of the President.
He said “Having realized that our voting powers lie on the youths and women, we want to make them vital instruments for the pursuit of this expected victory for President Buhari come 2019.
“And why the Igbos should and would support the person of Muhammadu Buhari and understand what the name Buhari actually means because there has been a lot of misrepresentations and misunderstanding of the person of Buhari.
“The political jobbers have tended to give him all types of interpretations but the truth remains that President Buhari is a good man, a leader and a man who stands by the truth and is not a man who believes in the primitive accumulation of wealth.
“In the election of 2015, Igbo never gave him the support he deserved. We were the least in the Six geo-political zones in the support for Buhari in 2015 and that has left a political vacuum for ndi Igbo both locally and at the centre.
“So, we want to correct that story and change the narratives that Igbo do not hate Buhari but actually love him.
