Boko Haram can be defeated in 2 months if our Leaders are ... —Okorocha

The governor of Imo State, Chief Rochas Okorocha, has said that the menace of the dreaded Boko Haram sect could be stopped in two months, only if visionary and efficient leadership is encouraged at the highest level of power in Nigeria.

Okorocha, who stated this on Friday, during a dinner he organised for media executives and nominees from across the country, who were in Owerri for the Nigeria Media Merit Award 2014, noted that the problem had remained intractable because some people were benefiting from fighting the insurgents.

However, he said no president of Nigeria had plans to fail in governance, noting that leaders of the country since independence never had bad intentions.

What he said went wrong was the leaders’ inappropriate usage of both the human and material resources, which he said also, contributed to government’s inability to tackle insurgencies in the country.

 “No nation is poor in terms of human and material resources, the problem has always been about leadership,” Okorocha said.
