The Imo State Governor, Rochas
Okorocha, has spoken on his battle with some Imo elites.
Okorocha, who doubles as Chairman
of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Governors Forum told State House
correspondents on Tuesday that the fight was all about the state treasury.
He said some politicians wanted
him to share money, which he had refused.
His words: “The issue of
reconciling with the elites is a very difficult one and the more you reconcile
you either not to give up or you reconcile because what they want you cannot
afford to give them.
“The elites want you to give them
the local government so that the money that comes from the local government,
they take it that is the reconciliation they want.
“The elites will want you to give
them the contract of the entire state budget. The elites will want you to pay
their medical bills in their hundreds of millions.
“The elites want to be in power
and then do whatever they want to do with the treasury of the state.
“The struggle for power in this
state is not for power really to govern the people, it is a struggle for the
treasury of Imo state and that is what I am protecting.”
Okorocha's celebration of convoluted reasoning.
