There’s Vacuum In Nigeria – Rochas Okorocha Speaks On Buhari’s Regime

According to Rochas Okorocha, a senior member of the ruling All Progressives Congress, there is a void in Nigeria.

Willful violence and disdain for human rights have decreased under President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.

Mr Okorocha, a senator representing Imo West, declared this during the Nigerian Diaspora Youth Ambassador (NDYA) one-day conference and award recognition session held in Abuja on Thursday.

Addressing Nigerian youths, the former Imo governor stated, “You are the very group of people we have been waiting for to correct our mistakes and build a Nigeria of our collective dreams.

“There is a vacuum in Nigeria, and this nation is waiting for youths to rewrite the history of Nigeria. If youths can come together to say we want to take the presidency, no matter what, they will do it because they stand to succeed in unity.’’

Mr Okorocha advised the youths to stay focused and take action in the run-up to the election in 2023. The senator warned them not to wait for white-collar jobs while the unemployment rate continues to rise.

“If you must succeed, you must do teamwork like the lion to bring down the elephant called leadership. United, you can achieve anything, just like the lion that has its strength in unity,” said Mr Okorocha, prepping them up for the 2023 presidency. “Don’t give up. Continue to persist, and you can take the presidency in 2023.”

Similarly, the Senate Chief Whip of Orji Kalu, represented by his aide Obasi Igbokwe, noted that the national assembly identified with the youths.

Also speaking at the event, Almustapha Abdulahi, the former National Youths Council of Nigeria’s president, encouraged youths to be dogged, love one another and reject things that would cause division among them.
