Okorocha Eyes Nigeria’s Presidency

The embattled Governor of Imo State, Chief Rochas Okorocha, has vowed to one day become the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Speaking on Sunday during his valedictory thanksgiving service held at the Government House Chapel in Owerri, Okorocha added that all plans to stop him from getting to the Senate will also fail.

The Governor, who also spoke on the seizure of his Certificate of Return as the Imo West senator-elect, by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), submitted that all his political adversaries will end up disappointed.

Naija News recalls a recent court order from an Owerri high court also barred INEC from issuing a certificate of return to him.

Okorocha said on Sunday; “I tell you, I am the most criticised person in Nigeria today. I don’t know why the entire elite hate me with cruelty.

“My Senate ambition is still a battle. More than 30 people have joined the suit to fight me. All these, I will overcome.

“They are only preparing me for the glory ahead.

“Mark it, I will be president of Nigeria. I said this on this altar so that the kingdom of God will rise against those fighting to stop me.

“Also, those who think they will put me in prison will go to prison before me.

“They don’t want me to be at the National Assembly, but I will be there. I know I am the last man standing, but I will not give up.

“Only a few of them later realised that I meant well for the state. I governed the state with passion. I broke protocols and bent the laws, but I never broke laws.

“When I took over the office eight years ago, I wasn’t unmindful that a lot of people will misunderstand me and try to distract me.

“But today, I have left the state better than I met it. I am the architect of the new Imo. I am a satisfied governor.”
