there are few politicians from the South-East with the clout or resources to run for the presidency in 2019. Imo State Governor Rochas Okorocha is one of them.
While Okorocha enjoys considerable influence within the APC, he suffers a crisis of credibility in the North East. He will also face stiff competition for the APC ticket if he chooses to run.

He has already given two conditions that will determine his candidacy in 2019: if President Buhari refuses to contest in 2019 and he gets the endorsement of at least 10 million Nigerians.
At the moment, though, he is more concerned with the home turf. Market women in Owerri have protested his demolition of the important Ekeukwu market in recent weeks.
Many are dissatisfied with his performance as governor, an issue that could damage his chances before he even considers them.
