Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha has said he will become the president after the tenure of President Muhammadu Buhari expires, Vanguard reports.
Okorocha said this in the state capital, Owerri, where he hosted political stakeholders.
After the end of the 2nd term of the Buhari administration will be turn of the South East, he said, and then it will be his turn.
“Buhari will win again and again and after Buhari, the turn will come to south-east and it will be the turn of Okorocha.”
The Governor has been criticised for planning to hand over power to his son-in-law. He said Nwosu is the most qualified of all the governorship aspirants.
He said, “Nwosu is the least of the political children I have trained but I don’t know any of them as much as I have known Nwosu.
“I took him up when he was just nobody and he grew to the height he is now, his only sin is that he is my son-in-law.
“Nwosu will win in 2019, don’t be afraid, I am there, I have retired the Arthur Nzeribes, the Udenwas, now I will retire the rest of them finally, I know them and they know me, their plan is to push me so that they can get the senate, it’s a lie, I will run for the senate as well.”
He further appealed to the people of South East to support the Buhari’s re-election, imploring them to wait for their turn in 2023.
