The Chairman, Progressive Governors Forum and Governor of Imo State,
Rochas Okorocha, said on Tuesday that it was too early for Nigerians to
judge the APC-led federal government.
The Progressives Governors Forum is the forum of governors elected on the
platform of Nigeria’s ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
“We want to appeal to Nigerians not to judge us from past sins or within
the two years we have been in the mantle of leadership of this great
country.
“You should judge us when the mandate entrusted to us expires,” Mr.
Okorocha said at the opening of a retreat on policy synergy between states
and the federal government, holding in Birnin Kebbi.
The governor reminded Nigerians that those presently at the helm of
affairs came on board when the country was at the brink of collapse due to
security and economic challenges.
He assured that the APC-led administration would meet the expectations of
all Nigerians.
“Our party has the best governors ever produced in the history of this
country – from Sokoto, Adamawa, Kebbi, Lagos, Imo, Zamfara, Nasarawa, Kogi
and others.
“When you visit those states, you will know that Nigerians have not made
mistake electing us to lead their states affairs.
“We have resolved to fix the economy and it is already being fixed,” he said.
The governor explained that they are working with the Federal Ministry of
Agriculture to put resources together to stamp out hunger in the country.
