Rochas Okorocha, a former governor of Imo State, has retaliated against Pastor Tunde Bakare, the General Overseer of Citadel Global Community Church, formerly known as Latter Rain Assembly, for claiming that Igbos cannot control Nigeria because they are cursed.
Okorocha, who currently represents Imo West in the Senate, argued that Igbos are an asset to the country and not a problem.
Mr Dayo Israel, the National Youth Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), paid him a visit on Tuesday at his Unity House Campaign headquarters in Abuja.

In a viral video, Bakare said: “Why should anyone in this country say the Igbo man cannot be president of Nigeria? I was at Imo State and I told them the reason why the Igbo cannot rule Nigeria and I want to remove the curse today.”
However, Okorocha reacting to those comments, said: “When I listened to Bakare mention that the Igbos are cursed in the cause of his preaching, I think that is an overstatement and unwarranted preaching.
“I must state here categorically that Igbos are not cursed and they will never be cursed.”
Okorocha admitted that although Igbos may not be good politicians, they “are a great asset to this country. They are not the problem”.
