The Publicity Secretary of the APC in Lagos State, Mr. Joe Igbokwe, in a statement on Friday said, one of the reasons Igbo is finding it hard to govern the nation was that they don’t know how to play good politics.
According to him, “We need to build the connection and the time is now. No Igbo man has ruled this country since Aguiyi Ironsi led regime. Since that time, no Igbo man has played good politics. We should not miss this opportunity.
“Politics is a serious game. If the Igbo do not play politics well, they will die. The shortest distance to Igbo presidency is APC. By 2023, a northerner, President Buhari would have completed his eight years and an Igbo man will easily come in.
Igbokwe also faulted the notion in some quarters that his party was only trying to buy over Igbos ahead of the 2019.
