THIS IS A PAYBACK TIME - JOE IGBOKWE SAYS TO THE IGBOS

Joe Igbokwe

This was said by Igbokwe, a senior member of the All Progressives Congress, or APC, in response to a comment on a post he had made on Facebook.

He noted; "President-Elect ASIWAJU BAT is a good friend of the Igbo and he did his best for prominent Igbo businessmen and women in Lagos including me.

"This is payback time and we should do this by voting for GOV SANWO OLU en-mass on March 18.

Nevertheless, a follower named Ejike Akunna flooded the comment section to mock the APC leader in what appears to be disagreement with Igbokwe's statement.

Ejike wrote, "Dash him your wife and daughters and enthrone him as your family deity. That'll be adequate payback".

Angered by Ejike's comment, Igbokwe declared that despite anger and hatred being meted at Tinubu by Southeast people, Asiwaju would rule the country for eight years and hand over to a northerner, ruling out the possibility of Igbo presidency.

Ejike Akunna jisieike, mark my words here: Asiwaju from 2023 to 2031 and another Northerner from 2031 to 2039. We will still be children of anger and children of hate and life goes on. We will be onlookers because we refused to play politics. Dazzo!!!!"
