The Imo State Governor, Rochas
Okorocha has claimed that immediate past president, Goodluck Jonathan, offered
him huge sums of money, a second term ticket and an influential ministry in a
bid to lure him into the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, prior to the 2015
general elections.
The Governor, who is a leading member of the ruling All Progressive Congress, APC, said he refused Jonathan’s offer and remained with the APC.
Okorocha made the claim at a
meeting with the people of Njaba Local Government Area of the state who paid
him a solidarity visit on his 55th birthday celebration.
According to him, he was
convinced that the APC would resoundingly defeat the PDP because Nigerians were
tired of the bad governance PDP represented.
The Governor further stated,
however, that in spite of his commitment and contributions in the build up to
President Muhammadu Buhari’s victory, notably by way of stopping the PDP from
rigging their way to power; he had not been treated fairly.
His words, “Look at Rivers State
where they rigged Rotimi Amaechi out by allocating over 1.2 million votes to
the PDP, yet he got lots of juicy positions like the Ministry of Transport,
NIMASA and all that.
“But, in all these, have you seen
me complain? No, because I know that one day, my time will come and President
Buhari will remember me.”
On projects for the people of the
visiting LGA, the governor added, “It may look like it would never come, but if
you remain consistent; it would surely come through for you.”
