"Since they left government, the government is still feeding them. Since I left Anambra state, they've not bought me a bottle of water.
"I gave land to everybody, several lands, go and check not one piece of land was given to me by the government of Anambra state. Other people give their wives, give their children, I did not do contracts, my children did not do any contract, no consultancy job; nothing.
"That's what we want and I will fight corruption, I want to end people stealing public money."
