Former Governor of Imo State, Senator Rochas Okorocha has stressed the need for the reunification of Igbo elites ahead of the 2023 presidential elections.
He said this on Thursday during a meeting with the Senate Chief Whip, Senator Orji Uzor Kalu at the home of First Vice National Chairman of All Progressives Congress (APC) South East, Dr Julius Anyim Nyerere in Abuja.
Okorocha noted that Igbo leadership and responsibilities have now fallen on him and the former governor of Abia state since the former leader Chief Chukwuemeka Ojukwu is dead and politicians like Jim Nwobodo, Arthur Nzeribe, and many others are no longer active in politics.
In his response, Kalu who stressed the need for peace to return to the APC political family in the South East. He added that he will be very happy to see the current governor of Imo state, Hope Uzodimma, and Rochas Okorocha on the same page.
He also advised SouthEast Governors and other political stakeholders to eschew public criticism of one another, noting that issues should be resolved internally.
