Onochie made the remark while assuring that the Southeast would be industrialised and transformed if Atiku becomes Nigeria’s president.
Posting on X, the former presidential aide said the Southeast has aligned with Atiku.
She wrote: “In case you have been wondering why or did not even know that Ndigbo have aligned with Atiku Abubakar, this is one of the reasons.
“Thank you to our people from the South East who on a daily basis, come to Abuja to strengthen their friendship and Alliance with the North.
“If you get it, like the video. If you don’t get it, think about it. Still, Igboland will be transformed and industrialised under our very own Incoming President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Mazi Atiku Abubakar.

The presidential candidate of the Peoples Redemption Party, PRP, Donald Duke, has said President Bola Tinubu could win the 2027 presidential election if opposition parties fail to unite behind a single candidate.
Duke made the statement on Monday while speaking on Channels Television’s Politics Today, where he discussed ongoing talks among opposition parties to form a coalition against Tinubu in the 2027 election.
He said the opposition’s failure to present a common candidate could work in Tinubu’s favour.
“Absolutely, with the chequered opposition it won’t work; Tinubu might win,” Duke said.
He, however, argued that a Tinubu victory under such circumstances would still amount to a minority government because the President might not secure a majority of the total votes cast.
“If Tinubu wins, it will still be a minority government. He won’t get a majority of the votes cast on election day,” he said.
Duke recalled that Tinubu secured about 37 per cent of the votes in the 2023 presidential election, noting that his share could be lower in 2027 if the opposition remains divided.
“Last time he had about 37 per cent of the votes. So that scenario may replay itself. It may even be less. He may get maybe 25 per cent, you know, and all that,” he said.
According to him, Tinubu’s main advantage would be the fragmentation of the opposition, which could allow him to win with a relatively small share of the total votes.
“But because the opposition is fractured, all he would strive to do is get 25 per cent in two-thirds of the states and a simple majority. He doesn’t need to get 8 million votes. He could just get 10 votes more, five votes more than every other person. He has a majority,”

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has announced the rescue of 21 people abducted in Kogi State, including 15 members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC).
The victims, who were kidnapped last week, included eight males and 13 females. Six other Nigerians were also among those abducted.
Tinubu said the victims were rescued on Monday afternoon following a coordinated Search and Rescue (SAR) operation involving the military, the Nigeria Police Force, the Department of State Services (DSS) and local vigilantes.
The operation led security personnel to the kidnappers’ hideout in the forests of Ofu Local Government Area of Kogi State.
The rescued victims are currently receiving medical treatment before being reunited with their families.
Tinubu said security forces had continued their pursuit of the kidnappers, who fled after the rescue operation.
The president also praised the security personnel involved in the operation and thanked the families of the victims for their patience and understanding.
Tinubu said he shared in the relief felt by the families following the rescue and assured parents of NYSC members that his administration would continue working to protect their lives and property.
He also commended the men and women of Nigeria’s security and intelligence agencies for their efforts.
