BEVERLY HILLS, July 17, (THEWILL) – The Imo State Governor, Rochas Okorocha says God has relocated his headquarters to Nigeria, adding that this explains why Nigeria gets away with things that would have collapsed other countries.
Speaking while declaring open the 67th annual conference of the Broadcasting Organisation of Nigeria, BON, in Owerri, he said Nigeria is a great nation and there is nothing wrong with the country.
Okorocha went on to reject the clamour for restructuring, pointing out that what Nigeria needs is to be repackaged to attract investors, hence radio and television stations in the country operating under the aegis of BON should help repackage Nigeria for consumption by the rest of the world.
While urging citizens to eschew ethnicity, tribalism, religion, which have characterised the affairs of the country, he stated that “that this nation belongs to us and we do not have any other nation on the face of the earth outside Nigeria. So, it’s incumbent on us to fix Nigeria and make it better not only for us but for generations yet unborn”.
The governor, who insisted that restructuring is not what is needed by the country, said, “Every geo-political zone has its own interpretation of restructuring. To the South-east, restructuring means creation of an additional state. For the South-south, restructuring means resource control. For the South-west, it means devolution of power and the North may see it differently, but whatever is the case, we are better off as a united Nigeria”.
“Let me say to all of us here that there is nothing wrong with Nigeria and Nigerians. Nigeria is a great nation and will forever remain a great nation. What we have passed through as a nation, no other country would pass through it without experiencing total collapse. The spiritualists will believe that God has relocated His headquarters to Nigeria and that is why we get away with anything that we do,” Okorocha stated.
