A national Stakeholder of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Senator Owelle Rochas Okorocha has reiterated his determination to build a new generation of; "visionary, incorruptible, courageous and creative leaders for Nigeria and Africa as a whole."

He this known when the Forum of Southeast APC House of Assembly Candidates paid him a courtesy visit at his Unity House office, Abuja.

"We have a huge gap in the political leadership of Nigeria, and I have made a commitment to continue to empower the younger generation with the requisite leadership skills and other resources necessary for them to give our country a better leadership after us."

Senator Okorocha heeded to the call for him to continue to have his presence in the east. He urged the group, who are mostly made up of youths to among other things; "avoid the trader mentality which is mostly responsible for the political problems in the Southeast."

In his words; "The APC's performance in the last general elections is regrettable, but we must not be stuck in ruing our losses, but should begin to take steps towards making the Party stronger in the region. President Muhammadu Buhari has made an appeal for Party leaders to ensure that the Party does not die with him, and I can assure you that I will be ready to do my best in ensuring that the Party is revitalized in the Southeast, if the right things are done."

Speaking further, he said; "As young people, you must identify the causes of our present political predicament and make efforts to avoid them. One of such problems is the trader mentality. Sometimes, we tend to approach politics as a cash and carry endeavor, and it isn't correct."

He recommended consistent loyalty to the right ideals, negotiated compromise and diplomacy as necessary qualities which aspiring political leaders must possess or make deliberate efforts to acquire.

Highly regarded as the political leader in the Southeast who has empowered the highest number of young people, Senator Okorocha is also the founder of the Emerging Leaders' Forum, which aims to bridge the political leadership gap in the country.

Speaking earlier, the member representing Bende in the Abia State House of Assembly and Deputy Minority leader of the House, Hon. Chijioke Chukwu, thanked the former governor for his vision in bringing the APC to the Southeast and assured him of the unwavering support of the grassroots members of the Party in the entire Southeast.

In her speech, the Secretary of the Forum, Hon. Ngozichi Okorie explained that the Forum consists of about 100 grassroots mobilizers who were flag-beaeers of the Party in the House of Assembly elections in the five Southeast States, out of which about ten of them won their elections.

The delegation also presented the Imo West Senator with a giant greeting card as a token of appreciation for his visionary leadership and mentorship.

What was his effort towards achieving this dream when he was in charge of Imo State?

Smart crook

Alhaji rochas okorocha aka China Road is better than no road.

Owelle birikwa o!!!

Coming from the greatest f.ool to ever rule IMO state.
Don't worry, next election you will contest in Abuja, as obviously you and your political dynasty are fast heading to Oblivion.

You had the greatest opportunity of being one of the best governor and politician of South east extraction, little did the good people of IMO know that you are just and embodiment of "iberiberism".

For the demented online miscreants always making noise about APC not being accepted in South east, I think you should rather wake up and hold okorocha responsible for not properly utilising the golden opportunity he had to set a good standard in governace, which others will emulate, rather he enthroned disaster in the state, which is typical of APC, but the good thing is that Imo people are teaching him the lesson of his life.

his people are traders and they trade at every opurtunity

Bride price and marriage na trade

Burial ceremony na trade

chieftancy title na trade

Infact PDP and their Ibo delegates traded Presidential ticket and Obi bought Vice presidency ticket for 250 million

Arthur Nzeribe traded Nigerian Democracy to support Babangida's dictatorship

Professor Ben Nwabueze Traded his soul to write a unitary constituition that made his people slaves and abolished regional system

Am still trying to understand what he meant and how does trader mentality contrasts with the qualities of a politician he mentioned above..

Really dont think he made any point.

Perhaps he's referring to crude mentalities.
