Abuja (Precise Post) – A well known philantropist and Senator representing Imo West Senatorial District at the Senate, Owelle Rochas Okorocha has urged Nigerians to insist and elect only good people with vision who love this country to come together and provide leadership in 2023.
The former governor of Imo State stated that it takes a leader with a vision, a good man with vision to change the story of Nigeria and to return the country to it’s past glory.
Okorocha who stated this while fielding questions from newsmen when he was asked to clarify what he meant when he said that Nigerians should be expectant that a political party is coming, a little to the left and a little to the right.
Owelle said that what he was talking about actually was governance much more than party. “Let people know that governance is more important than party. There is so much emphasis on party and party does not change a system, party cannot correct the economy, cannot stop the insurgency and cannot guarantee food on the table of a common man. It takes a leader with a vision, a good man with vision to change the story. So party as far as I am concerned is inconsequential in a nation that is serious”.
On his plans for 2023, the Imo West senator said he is for a new Nigeria in 2023. “In 2023 there must be a new Nigeria completely. New Nigeria devoid of deceit. I am for new Nigeria where everyone will see themselves as member of one family.
“So what am I saying, this nation is blessed and if I tell you that I will make this country remain more united, I know what to do because I have the vision.
He said that politicians have selfishly used ethnicity and religion to divide this country beyond recognition.
He said lack of oneness is what is giving rise to all these economic, political and security problem. Take for instance the entire issue of Boko Haram, banditry and kidnapping put all of then together, I don’t think they are up to 10,000 people nation-wide from what we see. So how can 10,000 people chase away 200 million people. It means that those 200 million people are not united but the 10,000 people are united
