Okorocha Gave Me the Worst Advice in My Administration-Obasajo
Okorocha Gave Me the Worst Advice in My Administration-Obasajo. Ex President of Nigeria Olusegun Obasanjo, has revealed that the current Imo state governor gave him the worst advice when he was President.
Speaking at the graduation ceremony of students from Rochas Foundation, Obasanjo jokingly blamed Rochas Okorocha for all the problems Nigerians ever had under his administration from 1999 to 2007.
In his statement, the Former President said;
“As you may all know, Rochas was one of the advisers I had when I was president.
“All the bad things that happened to this country under my presidency was advised by Rochas Okorocha.”
The former president talked about the surprising quality of the governor of Imo state and he said;
“He has never stopped to surprise me. He is a man of vision, of ideas. He is a thinking man. And when he explained to me his ideas about education, what he has done, I was marvelled. I doff my hat for you, Okorocha.
“Let me say this, the beginning of the development for any country is education. And the extent that we take education seriously, that is the extent that we take development seriously.
“Rochas is not just dealing with education; he is dealing with education for the underprivileged in general. Which means that if the poor and the underprivileged will rise above their disadvantaged position, it is only through education.
“And with what I have seen today, I have no regret at all to accept his offer for me to be part of this wonderful programme and wonderful development agenda to our country and for our continent.”
