Former Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha has declared that the people of Imo State love President Bola Tinubu, unlike the late former President Muhammadu Buhari, who, according to him, faced widespread opposition in the state and across the Southeast.

Okorocha made the declaration during a recent interview, expressing confidence that Tinubu would secure victory in Imo State in the 2027 general election.

He said: “You must understand that when we are talking about APC in Imo State, the time we had issues as APC was when Buhari was in government.

“In fact, the hate for Buhari can’t be compared to the imagery hate for Tinubu in Imo State or in the whole Southeast.

“So people must be careful not to mistake a transferred hate or transferred protest for what they don’t want as a governor to mean that it’s a protest against Tinubu. “Tinubu has done no wrong to any Igbo man, his best friends in Lagos are Igbos. Let me tell you that, with my emergence now with this ticket, Tinubu will win in Imo State.
