I Hate Poverty, Seeing Me In A Private Jet Shouldn’t Be A Big Deal – Okorocha by msmon(m): 8:15am On Jun 28, 2015
Rochas Okorocha, the Governor of Imo State, has
affirmed that there is no big deal for a government
official to fly private jet.

Speaking with SaharaTV on Saturday, Okocorcha
said he hated poverty and injustice, adding that
anyone criticizing private jet owner was poor.

He also addressed issues of political factions in the
National Assembly (NASS), the presidential and
gubernatorial elections in the South-East.

Speaking about the current economic state of
Nigeria, and whether Governors across the country
were responsible, Okorocha blamed former
President Jonathan for leaving a “virtually empty”
treasury for Buhari’s administration.

Okorocha also pointed out that the past
government managed Federal funds poorly.
Governor Okorocha said “if Buhari used the word
‘near empty treasury,’ I think he is being kind with
the word. I think what we have is a complete lack
of money in the country”.

Okorocha also addressed speculations that
Governors of Nigeria embezzled a lot of the funds
that were left from the past administration.
“I’m sure that you are not aware that Federal
government takes 54 percent of (the budget) and
State government takes 24 percent of that money.
How much comes to State government?”

On why he’s been seen travelling around with his
private jet even though there were rumors that he
sold it, Okorocha responded by saying “that should
not affect my private life. I hate poverty, I hate
injustice. So seeing me in a private jet shouldn’t be
a big deal.”


Explaining why the APC did woefully in the South-
East region during the Presidential elections,
governor Okorocha said, “What we saw in the
South-East was not an election, it was impunity.
People say APC is not in the South-East, and that
is not true. APC is strong in the South East. APC is
strong.

“We were literally at war with the military and the
police and they were able to stop them from writing
results. They could not rig the 7.3 million. If they
had rigged the 7.3 million in the election, Buhari will
not have been President.”

Governor Okorocha also took a soft bite on
President Buhari over his ability to mediate in the
war between APC politicians in the NASS.
NBC urges public to ignore Radio Biafra
“If you watch President Buhari, he is not really
bringing himself or imposing anything. His neutrality
is the cause of what you see today. The President
has said that the National Assembly should take
whoever they want as leaders, and at a particular
point, the Party felt that the principles of zoning
and equity should now begin here (at the National
Assembly) so that everyone feels part of the
nation,” Okorocha said.

It is a load of shame how we have come to make imbeciles and highly insensitive entities as our leaders.
These people care less about what happens at the bottom of the pyramid. Very unfortunate. Imagine a governor spewing this rubbish out of his dirty mouth...comments that can make the poor ones hopeless...

So many fly with private jets no big deal but the issue with my beloved Governor is he forgot that God will give you wealth to give to the poor, he will make you a blessing to many because God himself can't come down and start giving you material wealth he will still use common men to do that men like governors etc.

Secondly I met a billionaire in this country from delta side who truly believe in God and fear him which is not common in Nigeria, he said to me no matter how rich you are you can become poor tomorrow so my beloved Governor NEVER call any body poor you don't know tomorrow what will happen to your stolen wealth.

He has alluded to a private ownership of the jet.

I have no problem with him spending his personal money as he likes. Let him not spend state funds to maintain it though, else he finds himself in a bind that leads to impeachment for corruption.
