Imo state governor Rochas Okorocha has identified ethnicity and bigotry as serious issues in the country’s political landscape.
Okorocha, who said this as part of his Christmas goodwill message released by his Chief Press Secretary Sam Onwuemeodor, noted that as a result of the deep-rooted ethnicity and religious bigotry in the country, the present leaders cannot afford to hand over power to the youths.
Okorocha said for the present generation of youths to have a shot at leadership roles in the country “they need to be well-groomed by the present leaders.”
“What Nigerians, the leaders in particular, need to do now is to unite and begin to build a country of our collective dreams and aspirations.
“The leaders cannot afford to hand over to the next generation what we have at the moment as a nation, in which ethnicity, religious bigotry and zoning of political offices are still the order of the day.
“Nigerians must endeavour to hand over to the next generation, a united and prosperous nation, all the ethnic and religious groups can be proud of.”
On the current economic meltdown, Okorocha called on Nigerians to accept the situation as a national challenge.
He said: “Nigerians especially the leaders should appreciate themselves and see the current recession as a national challenge.”
“Christians in the state in particular to pray more than they had never done before, for the good of the state and her people.”
Recall that Governor Okorocha had recently blamed what he described as lack of peace among past leaders as the major cause for discord among Nigerians.

Rather our current leaders are to old,greedy,dead brain,myopic to lead this current generation.

If u dont allow our youths to start practicing leadership by puting them in certain leardership positions,how would they be ripe for leadership


How can a 65 yr old man be minister of youth,ehn

keep ruling and die no more

I don't blame Him I blame the youth who fight for all this politicians.....The old men are born to Rule while the youth are use as political thugs.....

U mean they are not yet as corrupt as you're or they have not yet emancipate themselves from the poverty you unleash on them ,so no time to think of positions when they're still thinking about how to make ends meet...

May it be onto your family as you have wished others.

Oga, no allow me insult you this early morning ..

Give me your state to govern and you'll know that you an old man with expired ideas.

Rubbish.

watch how omenka and dropshots defend their king...

What else is this governor shacking apart from owerri weed and daura burukutu?

Not only Nigeria youths but all Nigerians because corruption, tribalism and religions are our greatest problems

Fake news. Fake headline. What okorocha wish for his children who is his next generation is the truth.

Rochas needs deliverance.....the slap the ghost gave him sometime ago is still affecting him

The governor goofed big time in his so called "christmas goodwill message." What load of gibberish? This is so nonsensical!

I expect the people he sent the message to, specifically the youth, to ask him when they will be ripe for leadership.
