Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has lambasted Igbo people from Imo State calling them educated illiterates, uniformed and unclanish.

“What is certain is that there must be a new governor of the state in 2019 and for me those talking about zoning in 2019 are very foolish, educated illiterates and clannish and the era of zoning in the state is over.”

“The point is that a zone cannot be a governor, it is only an individual who has the capacity to pilot the affairs of the state whether it is in Owerri, Orlu or Okigwe let them present themselves. Those who are talking of zoning immediately they get to office what they will be concerned about would be their family members and abandon the state as has been in the past, so the issue of zoning is gone and wherever the persons comes from as longer as he has that capacity and good let it be.”
