Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State, who is a
presidential aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress
(APC), has explained why incumbent President Goodluck Jonathan must not
be re-elected next year.
Speaking in Akure, the Ondo State capital on Friday during a visit to the state’s secretariat of the APC, Okorocha stated that Boko Haram insurgency would not end if President Jonathan gets returned as Nigeria’s leader in the 2015 elections.
He said the incumbent President had proved incapable of handling the Boko Haram insurgency, adding that the Islamist group’s threat was becoming worse than the Nigerian civil war.
Okorocha accused officials of the Jonathan administration of using the anti-insurgency campaign as a “commercial business like buying and selling.”
The Imo State governor said the officials benefiting did not want the
insurgency to stop because they were making money through the supplies
of arms and other gadgets.
He maintained that it would be difficult for the present administration to fight if its still hold-up to power in 2015, stressing that some people have already been making millions out of the opportunity created by the PDP led administration.
“If President Jonathan wins the forthcoming election Boko Haram would never stop and if PDP has what it takes to stop this carnage they would have done it a long time ago,” the governor said.
Governor Okorocha also blamed the PDP for the continued existence of the dreaded Islamist group whose attacks have claimed more than 30,000 lives.
The APC presidential candidate accused the PDP of being “corrupt and incapable” of leading the country.
The governor added that Nigeria is in a turbulent period as a result of poverty, greed, injustice and impunity orchestrated by Jonathan’s administration.
He said Nigeria was already in a state of war and that things might become worse in 2015 if Jonathan emerges as the president. He stressed that Northerners would not take it easy with Southerners in the country.
The governor accused the top leaders of the PDP of using Abuja as a center for spreading woes in the country, adding that Nigeria has become deeply polarized.
“I think it’s a wrong perception for people to be talking that the next president must come from the north or the south and should be a Muslim or Christian. This has further divided us and made the country a polarized nation,” said Governor Okorocha.
He said Nigeria needs a dynamic leader with unbeatable foresight and vision, adding that he was ready to defeat President Jonathan if given the party’s ticket.
“If you put Jonathan and me together in the election, I will defeat him in all the states of the federation,” he said.
