Former Governor of Imo State, Rochas Owelle Okorocha, has stated that Nigeria is not finished despite the challenges facing the country.
Naija News reports that Okorocha stated this at the “2021 Our Nigeria News Awards “organized by Our Nigeria Magazine with the theme, “Nigeria is Our Nigeria: We Must Join Hands Together To Make It Work Or We Perish Together,” in Abuja, on Friday.
The lawmaker representing Imo West Senatorial District in the National Assembly admitted that the nation is passing through a difficult moment ahead of the 2023 general elections.
The former governor however urged leaders at all levels to begin to accept responsibilities.
Okorocha said, “I have often said to our leaders at all levels that we must begin to accept responsibilities. There is absolutely nothing wrong with followers, but there can be something wrong with leadership.
“As we approach the 2023 elections, I want to appeal to Nigerians to take a second look to address the mood of the nation right now and call for unity of this country.
“We can dramatize this at all levels wherever we find ourselves be it as Muslims or Christians and in whatever religion or tribe you might find yourself.
“What is happening to Nigeria is that we are passing through a difficult moment of our time to write the history of Nigeria, but a time shall come when other nations will see us as the greatest nation in the world.”
