Imo state
Governor, Rochas Okorocha went into an outburst during an Interview on Thisday
Newspaper saying he won’t run for second term in Imo state unless 1million
people in the state gives him N100 each with their voter’s cards.
He also said
he did not spend up to N200million to become governor and it was given to him
by his wife and that he will not put out posters and billboards and come back
for second term if his people are not happy with him. In his own words;
“Even when I wanted to become governor, I
did not spend up to N200million to become governor and it was given to me by my
wife and one other man. In fact, I have announced now that I am not going to
put out posters and bill-boards; if what I have done cannot bring me back, I
quit. Must I be here? Is it my father’s throne?
“If Imo
people want it, I am happy but if they don’t, I quit. This governorship thing
is a burden. I don’t even know if I am happier or just happy as President of
Rochas Foundation. The only thing is that this has helped me to touch the
larger society. But in terms of stress, I have more stress doing this job.
“If they are
happy with the way I am doing this job, they should beg me to come back. I have
told them that unless they give me N100 each, I mean one million people with
their voter’s card, I would not run. If they don’t give me, I would not
contest. And let me tell you that they are already doing it. That’s the truth.”
