Why It Will Take Igbos 20-25 Years Of Hard Work To Produce President – Joe Igbokwe

A notable figure within the All Progressives Congress (APC), Joe Igbokwe, asserted that it would require 20–25 years of dedicated effort from the Igbo ethnic group to attain the presidency in Nigeria.

Igbokwe expressed this viewpoint in reaction to criticisms aimed at his statements in a Facebook post on Friday, September 15, 2023. He also characterized the Igbo community as observers rather than active participants in the Nigerian political landscape.

Igbokwe, whose ongoing affiliation with the All Progressives Congress has been met with accusations of disloyalty, sycophancy, questionable conduct, and impropriety, took the opportunity to address comments on this matter within the aforementioned Facebook post.

“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.

Igbokwe also likened the labels of saboteur, betrayer, and sell-out that he has received to the sentiments expressed during the Nigerian civil war. He further commented that the Igbo community is still repeating the same errors made during that period of history.

“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.”
