We don’t need restructuring in Nigeria – Okorocha



Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo state, Monday, said that the country did not need any restructuring.


The Governor was quoted to have made the statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Sam Onwuemeodo, at the 67th Annual Conference of the Broadcasting Corporation of Nigeria, BON, in Owerri. Okorocha’s reason was that restructuring meant different things to the various geo-political zones in the country and that what they country needed was “repackaging.” The release went further to justify the governor’s opposed to the call for restructuring.

As captured by the release, “Governor Rochas Okorocha has called on proprietors and managers of the Radio and Television Stations in the country operating under the aegis of Broadcasting Organization of Nigeria (BON) who are meeting in Owerri for their 67th Annual Conference.

“To help repackage Nigeria for consumption by the rest of the world because that is what is needed now and not restructuring. “He also asked them to come up with programmes that could allow the less privileged in the society who cannot afford the high cost of electronic media to also be heard. “Our nation requires repackaging. It is unfortunate that a great nation like ours has not been properly packaged for consumption by the international communities.

“Yet, there are more evils in other nations than we have in Nigeria but the reports going out about our country is such that no one will want to come into Nigerian unless for those who want to take risk. No nation can grow with this arrangement. “I want to charge you today, as you meet, think Nigeria and see how you can repackage it. We are not the worst of them all. “Every geo-political zone has its own interpretation of restructuring.

To the South-East, restructuring means creation of an additional State. “For the South-South, restructuring means resource Control. For the South-West, it means devolution of power and the North may see it differently, but whatever is the Case, we are better of, as a United Nigeria.

“The ball is in your court to see how you can project Nigeria and repackage it for public and international consumption. “Let me say to all of us here that there is nothing wrong with Nigeria and Nigerians. Nigeria is a great nation and will ever remain a great nation.”

  4. Rochas Okorocha is insane; he's out of his mind. Maybe he's running low on his mental health pills. He needs to see his physicians, urgently. Is it English language he's trying to teach those who obviously know better than him? The word is 'restructuring' and not "repackaging" of Okorocha's evil intention. Ewu, Anuofia, Ekpokorimando.
