Former Governor of Imo state and presidential aspirant on the platform of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), has admonished the new national chairman of the party senator Abdulahi Adamu to swing into action ahead of the 2023 political activities and ensure that internal democracy reigns supreme in all its activities
Okorocha, who spoke with journalists after his meeting with the new chairman st the APC Secretariat in Abuja, noted that it is when the party institutes the process of promoting internal democracy that it would excel and record victory in the 2023 elections
“This is my home, this is my party. Anytime I come to the APC headquarters it gives me an extraordinary joy remembering how all started and how the party started. It gives me some grateful memories. anytime I’m here, I feel I’m back home but today I just came to see the national chairman to discuss some great vital issues and suggestions that will move this party forward.
“We literally have no time left to conduct party primaries, so this present working committee has a lot on their table to deal with and it requires faster and bigger steps to get this done
“But as you know internal democracy is very key in this country and I believe that the present exco will ensure beautiful internal democracy where all will be happy and no one will feel deprived or cheated. They will do their best and I have confidence in them that they will give us the best of candidates which includes; President, governors Senators and others.
On his presidential ambition, Okorocha, who represents IMO West senatorial district at the National Assembly, said “I have told the whole world and Nigerians that I will be running for the office of the president of the federal Republic of Nigeria and I’m still on it. What is important at this stage is for all of us Nigerians to understand the mood of the nation which is very important.
“Aspiration is one thing yet vision is another thing. I think Nigerians should be able to separate aspiration, ambition from vision. If you have ambition without vision, you will be wasting time, you will contribute nothing but if you have vision then it is appropriate that you should lead the people because where there is no vision the people perish.
“So, I think it is always appropriate that Nigerians should take a second look at vision not ambition because definitely everyone can have ambition but not everyone has the vision to move this nation forward.”
