Why I Want To Go To Senate By Okorocha

by Okodili Ndidi

Imo State governor,
Rochas Okorocha, Monday gave hint why he wants to go to National
Assembly as Senator representing Imo West Senatorial zone.

He said that he wants to build a strong political bring between the Southeast and other geopolitical zones of the country.

The
governor also hinted that he would pursue the policy of Free Education
at the National Assembly “so that the children of the poorest in the
society would have hope of survival in Nigeria”.

According to
him, “I also want to use the opportunity in the Senate to rebuild the
Political Bridge that has linked the South East with the rest of
Nigerians. The Political Bridge is somehow faulty and it is dutifully
incumbent on me to rebuild this bridge so that Igbos will play a
recognized role in the Politics of the Federal Republic of Nigeria”.

He
continued that “I am going to the Senate to promote the course of
ordinary Nigerians. These are some of the things I am going to the
Senate to do. Otherwise, I have no business there”.

Governor
Okorocha who spoke when he received the new Commander, 34 Field
Artillery Brigade (FAB) Obinze Brigadier-General Yusuf Tukura when he
came on Courtesy Call at the Government House Owerri, also disclosed
that he is leaving behind a viable and secured State.

He said
that his administration in the State from 2011 to 2019 saw the
disappearance of kidnapping, armed robbery, ritual killings, baby
factories, militancy and other organized crimes in the State, adding
that he would not be happy to hear that these crimes are back to the
State when he has left.

He said “We have enjoyed a very good
working relationship with all the past Army Commanders and we are
hopeful it will continue. Imo is a peaceful State. It was made peaceful
through the efforts of the rescue mission government, in partnership
with other Security Agencies in the State.

“The transformation
you have seen in Imo State eight years down the line is as a result of
Sacrifice. A leader who does not make sacrifices has no business with
leadership. What you are seeing in Imo is a product of sacrifice.
Sacrifice of self, Sacrifice of Comfort and personality, denial of
yourself who you are, that you might serve your people well”
