In order for the Igbo ethnic group to produce the president of Nigeria, Joe Igbokwe, a leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), asserted that 20–25 years of laborious work would be required.
Igbokwe issued this comment in reaction to a barrage of criticisms that were directed at his statements in a Facebook post that he published on Friday, September 15, 2023. Furthermore, he described Igbo people as “onlookers in the Nigerian project.”
Igbokwe, whose continuous support for the the All Progressives Congress has been viewed as treacherous, bootlicking, slimy, and unseemly, seized the chance to reply to comments made on the Facebook post about the subject.
“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,” he maintained.
“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.
“My take: If you believe that LP won the presidential elections you can believe anything. Shame has enveloped me. Just read the narratives above and you will want to throw up. What has happened to Igbo? We are still making the mistakes we made during the civil war.”
