Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State said in Kaduna on Monday that the mission to rescue Nigeria from what he called the “inept leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party” in the 2015 general elections rested in the hands of Nigerians.
The governor believed he was the only one that had the capacity to defeat President Goodluck Jonathan if given the opportunity by his party, All Progressives Congress to be its flag bearer in the 2015 presidential election.
Okorocha, while speaking at a rally organised by a northern group, Arewa Peoples Grand Coalition, to urge him to pick the presidential ticket, said of all the APC presidential aspirants, he stood the better chance of defeating the PDP candidate(Jonathan) and other contestants in the race.
He noted that none of the contestants had ever provided free education in the country or in a state, stressing that he had over the years provided free education in some parts of the country, adding that he would provide same all over the country if he becomes the President.
Earlier, Okorocha had visited the Emir of Zazzau, Alhaji Shehu Idris, and laid a foundation for Rochas Secondary School in the emirate, which he said would be free.
Okorocha, who spoke both Hausa and English languages, said, “I am the only candidate that can dislodge the PDP in the 2015 presidential election. Tell me of all the people who are eyeing the presidency, how many of them have provided free education.
“There is a need for a change in Nigeria, it is a must, and it must happen. The change has become necessary in our country.
“I believe that if I fly the flag of APC, definitely I will bring victory to APC in 2015. I am the only one who can defeat PDP without struggle. No PDP candidate can face me in the other parts of the country. We don’t have problem with PDP, our problem is how to choose the candidate that can defeat it.
