“Since I became governor, I have not had one minute of my life; I have worked for this government but what I got at the end of it all was the seizure of my certificate, and the harassment of the EFCC. This does not give me joy but makes me wonder if it is worth taking the pains for APC.”
Rochas Okorocha, has ask him self a question that only him have an answer for.
outgoing governor of Imo state, has been questioning his action to pitch his tent with the All Progressives Congress(APC). He disclosed his regret about joining the ruling party on Thursday during the visit of Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo to Imo state.
While Speaking when Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo is inaugurating some projects in the state on Thursday, the governor said he had worked with all his intent for the ruling party but what he got in return was frequent witch hunting by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), perpetuated by some caucus in the ruling party.
He said “You may not know what this visit has done to us because out there, people never believe our story that we have done more than one thousand projects,”
“Our political detractors have never spoken anything good about us. The impression out there that this government has done nothing but believe me, what you are seeing here is one out of such 1000 projects.
“One of the things EFCC is investigating is N500million …that has made them close down the account of Imo state for the past three months and no activity is going on in the state and I think that is not good to a state that has performed and upgraded the name of APC.
