Imo State, Governor Rochas Okorocha yesterday said the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) administration at the Federal level is demolishing what he called the old and shaky structures the country stood on and rebuilding it for a new nation that all Nigerians will be proud to have.
The governor said: “What is happening now in the country is a total reconstruction of Nigeria and laying of a strong foundation that will metamorphose into a new Nigeria we shall all be proud of.
“What we are passing through now as a nation is a road other great nations, such as the United States of America and Britain, passed through before they got to where they are today. If Nigeria fails from now henceforth, then the APC will be held responsible. But this government must be given time to clear the rot of yesteryears.”
He added: “The restructuring requires patience and perseverance on the part of all. The APC government, led by President Muhammadu Buhari, will put Nigeria back on its strong foot. The APC government will not use the downturn in the economy as an excuse but will bring water out of stone to put the nation right.”
Okorocha made these statements at a special church service marking Sunday’s Democracy Day celebration at the Victory Chapel at the Government House in Owerri, the state capital.
