Being a governor made me poorer, says Senator Rochas Okorocha
Meanwhile, Okorocha had declared that being a governor of the southeast state made him poorer.
Okorocha, the senator representing Imo West senatorial district, made the comment while speaking on Monday night, January 31.
The former governor who declared his interest in the 2023 presidential election earlier in the day, was a well-known billionaire before he ventured into politics.
Okorocha also said the Imo state government currently owes him N8 billion security votes.
His words:
“Those who say I am broke are liars, that is fabricated fallacy. If you talk about Nigerians blessed by God, I’ll raise my hand.
“I was richer before I became governor; in fact, (being a) governor made me poorer. If you go to (the Code of) 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."
