Jonathan’s Reelection Will Worsen Nigeria’s Problems -okorocha by clara472: 3:34pm On Dec 06, 2014
Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State, has once again reaffirmed his stand that President Goodluck Jonathan does not deserve another term in office.

Okorocha, who is a presidential aspirant on the platform of the All Progressives Congress (APC), said Boko Haram insurgency would not end if President Goodluck Jonathan was reelected in 2015.
The governor made this assertion in Akure, the Ondo State capital, during a visit to the state’s secretariat of the APC with his team to woo delegates ahead of the party’s primaries slated for December 10 in Lagos.


The governor said President Jonathan was incapable of handling the Boko Haram insurgency, saying that the Islamist group’s threat was becoming worse than the Nigerian civil war.

An embittered Okorocha further accused officials of the Jonathan administration of using the anti-insurgency campaign as a “commercial business like buying and selling.”

“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.

Speaking further, Governor Okorocha also flayed the ruling PDP-led government over its failure to oust the Boko Haram sect, which had claimed more than 30,000 lives.

He added that the country was going through hard times as a result of poverty, greed, injustice and impunity championed by Jonathan’s administration.

He said Nigeria was already in a state of war and that things might become worse in 2015 if Mr. Jonathan emerged as the president.

“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 needed a dynamic leader with unbeatable foresight and vision, adding that he was ready to defeat President Goodluck Jonathan if given the party’s ticket.


He urged Nigerians to give APC a chance to govern the country.

“If you put Jonathan and me together in the election, I will defeat him in all the states of the federation,” he said.

“If the APC should lose the forthcoming election, there will never be a strong opposition again in the history of Nigeria and APC will die the way ANPP died because the party is the last hope of opposition in the country. And if we didn’t succeed now then forget about it in the history of the country,” Okorocha added.

Sell your party and its manifesto and leave Jonathan alone.

I totally agree with your last paragraph. You guys have put in a lot, cheated, threatened impeachment, parallel government, charms etc.

Again, Amen to your last paragraph.

Have you asked yourself why APC primaries did not hold in IMO?
Okorochas still has his eyes on that seat when/if he loses the presidential primaries.
Anyway, I know Imolites will not be foolish enough to vote a man who has his eyes somewhere else as governor again.

If APC delegates will leave sentiment, tribe and religious differneces aside and vote for Okorocha, then PDP will not find it easy. Okorocha is the best candidate among the APC candidates and he is a man to beat.
