Okorocha Believes APC will rule Nigeria in 2015, says He won’t Contest Unless Urged by the Masses
Imo state Governor, Rochas Okorocha has advised President Goodluck Jonathan to prepare to handover power as the All Progressives Congress is set to take over after the 2015 general elections.
Okorocha said this while hosting APC local government chairmen from the 36 states of the federation, at his 52nd birthday.
“Come 2015, APC will be in Aso Rock but we must be aggressive to drag PDP and its members out of the Presidency and indeed, Nigeria.
“I have the capacity to govern the Federal Republic of Nigeria. I must also make it abundantly clear that the PDP and indeed, President Goodluck Jonathan, cannot defeat me in the forthcoming general election.”
He however stated that he will not contest for the presidential office unless the masses ask him to run, stressing that his mission in Nigeria has not been actualized.
“My mission in Nigeria is yet to be fully actualized. This is largely as a result of the activities of the elites, who have denied me several opportunities to serve my people”, Okorocha said. “You all must understand that Nigeria can be better if the masses elect a credible leader to rule the country.”
The Governor also promised that if given the opportunity to rule Nigeria, he would fight Boko Haram insurgents to a halt through the decentralization of power to the grassroot.
He noted that what inspired him to join politics was to render humanitarian service to the less privileged ones in the society, pointing out that this made him to introduce free education programme from primary to the tertiary level in the state.
