Presidential hopeful and All Progressives Congress chieftain, Rochas Okorocha, says being a governor of Imo State made him poorer.

“I was richer before I became governor; in fact, governor made me poorer. If you go to Conduct Bureau before I became governor, my real estate alone in Abuja, I’m sure you can count one, two people who can count on it.

“How much is Imo State government money? Imo State is even owing me because I never collected my security votes, I’m supposed to collect from Imo State now N8bn if I have to make claims for security votes that I did not collect.” Okorocha had been grilled a few times by the anti-graft agency over alleged financial fraud and some of his property and those owned by his family members had been taken over by the government of his successor, Hope Uzodinma, but Okorocha continued to maintain that he is not guilty of any of the allegations as no court of law in the country has declared him guilty.All rights reserved.

Does he imply 'Security Votes' goes to the private account t of the governor, hence governors do not disclose nor divulge details of monies issued as SV? Can a governor step out and publish his details of SV and how it was used? If none, then we are in deep sh***t ! Corruption

And you still wanted to install and impose your son-in-law on Imolites? Iberiberism is worrying you

This swaga won't work for 2023 agenda Mr Okorocha

This guy is pure cruz

dondekojo Then he shouldn't vie to be the President of Nigeria.We don't want him to end being a poor man.

I DNT understand how they owe you. We're you using your personal money to run the state? Did FG not release the funds to you?

😂😂

Goin by the way witches are making this guy talk...his might be in efcc detention during election

He was using his personal money for protection.... These politicians...!!!!!

1999 Constitution is nonsense

But Channels TV/Anchor man sef, why d so much attention to only Rochas & his family? Abi una dey promote am?

For that security vote you mentioned!

Oloshi re o

Were you poor before you became Gov? Which kain grammatical expression be this for Christ's sake?

This politician thought everyone is fool therefore they keep taking us all for a fool

If what Okorocha said boldly is anything to go by, then there is problem. We can infer that governors are kept in check with the fringe benefits called 'Security votes'. The system has to hold and the constituents firmly gripped.

I believe you.

Then why do you want to be a President? President will make you super poor I guess..

Why do we have shameless politicians in this country?

If it true then declare your asset and if you don't worth 50 time more than that then, we imo's indigene will tax up your payment of 5bn Bastard_Okorocha

Tomorrow they will tell me that they are fighting corruption when this one is before their very face NDI oshi criminals every where

Is security vote your personal money?realRochas

We enjoy your governance by giving us safety roads, Christmas light that made your inlaw millionaire if not billionaire. Innocent citizens died at ekeọnunwa because of your selfishness. You took peoples land and property by force and you are here talking about poorer fool. 😕😕

Nnayi wishes to b president so he can recover all his losses from being Imo Governor. Daalu But u wanted ur inlaw to b governor so he can be poorer. What an outlaw, u r.

Thunder fire you

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 oh boy!...this people are the real comedians

You won't keep quiet, you have started again abi?

God punish you okorocha for saying that..why cant you leave the office at the first tym

Then don't go for the Presidency Sir

This man na goat.

What is going on in this life?

The security vote, was it meant for you or for the state 🤭🤭

If this is true why didn't you stop at first tenure ?

8billion, the money your grandfather left for you abi?

It is called been a leader. I'd BTW ur conscience, you don't owe anyone explanation. Got is our judge.

I don’t know how true this is but I heard that “the constitution allow the governors not to give account of how they spent the security votes in their respective states” is this really true?

Hmmm ride on Mr sincerity and integrity.

You are not serious at all... If you are sincere in your heart, let your assets be declared before and after your tenure 😒😒😒😒😒

So security vote is for your personal consumption. You are securing on ur self with it.

Why not sell Nigeria to get richer
