Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has likened the Presidential
candidate of the All Progressives Congress(APC), Muhammadu
Buhari to late
former South African President, Nelson
Mandela.
Okorocha stated this while addressing indigenes of his
state during an event at the Teslim Balogun Stadium in Lagos.
The governor urged his kinsmen to give Buhari a chance to
rule Nigeria and clear the rot in the polity.
“Buhari is the Mandela of our
time. At 72, what does he want?”Okorocha
said.
“He will do one term, fix the
country and move on and then power will be come back to the South. When power
rotates to the South, the South-East will have it in 2019 because the
South-West has had it through Chief Olusegun Obasanjo and the South-South
through Dr Goodluck Jonathan,” he added.
President Goodluck Jonathan had also been earlier likened to the
iconic anti-apartheid leader by his aide, Doyin Okupe.

It's obvious you can't hide your interest and feeling for Buhari . You can believe me or wave it, your concern to have him take over power is apparent and interfering in your line of duty as a public personnel. I hope to see u share ur disappointment over his loss come Election Day. You can campaign with your page and forum but be rest assured that the Messiah we seek to circumvent the problem in Nigeria do not exist between the two leading contestant certainly not the one that has surrounded himself with Wolves like Tinubu. I honestly think it will be more ideal if you stay neutral and not an open display and declaration of interest.
It is disturbing when such subject come up.Ask Rochas what his fate is in Imo State.A Mandela was the cynosure of great pride. Rochas knows Buhari's presidency won't fly.It's a save the face situation we have at hand.And for Youths mindlessly campaigning for a tired general,should be asked what retirement age is in the civil service.The answer thereby gives something to brood on.
Mandela wasn't a Tyrant,a Dectator & Anti Democracy, He was a freedom fighter & believe in democracy so Okorocha or whatever you called your self where is the comparison? You better watch you toung before the spirit of Mandela strikes you. Fool
Why then did he (Rochas) context with his mandela in their APC presidential primaries? All of them are confused and they we scatter after losing this general election. They lack focus.
Buhari, Nigeria's Mandela? Make he go jail first!!!
How can you compare a corrupt tyrant like Buhari who stole away the people mandate; truncated the constitution of nigeria, murdered people illegitimately and turned nigeria into hell in two years a Mandela? Someone that always promote violence? And never come out to support peace or criticize the violence he starts a Mandela?
He's more like an Abacha and idi ami!
He may be right. Mandela started off with an armed struggle, bombing and killing innocent whites. Is it possible that Buhari tried to achieve the same with Boko Haram?
