Former governor of Imo state, Rochas Okorocha, says his vision for a united Nigeria is driving him crazy.
The Senator representing Imo west stated this on Monday during a media chat with the federal capital territory (FCT) chapter of the Nigerian Union of Journalists (NUJ).
The group hosted Okorocha to commemorate his forthcoming 59th birthday.
Responding to a question on whether he would vie for the position of presidency in 2023, the lawmaker said: “I don’t have the ambition to be president but a vision to have a united Nigeria and that is driving me crazy.”
He however, called on women to fight for power.
He said: “African woman is so great but we treat her as if she is a second class citizen meant to serve the man but they don’t understand that a woman is first a man before becoming a woman,”
“A woman is an extra man; she should have been called a man but because she has a womb that is why she is called a woman.
“They see farther than we can see and they understand better. If all women are empowered and there is financial sustainability for women, we can’t have insurgency.

“Insurgency is as a result of children taken out of their mothers because she doesn’t have the resources to keep them.
“So, women must be given a place of importance and position. But what I understand is that women want to sit and beg for power. Power is not given, power is taken.
“Women must rise and if you don’t start contesting for president they will not give you a reason to run for governor.
