Senator Rochas Okorocha, representing Imo West senatorial district, has said that becoming the Governor of Imo State made him poorer.

Okorocha said this when he appeared as a guest on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics while denying the allegations that he acquired properties with government funds.

According to the former governor, people seem to have forgotten so easily that he was a successful person before becoming governor in 2011.

Okorocha, therefore, dared anyone to come forth with evidence that he is corrupt and mismanaged Imo State funds while in office.

“I challenge anybody to prove that I acquired any property with any government fund,” Okorocha said.

“I think people have forgotten that I was Rochas before becoming the governor of Imo State; I think they have forgotten completely.

“If anything, becoming a governor made me even poorer than what I was in the past. I don’t know whether I acquired any property here in Abuja, there is none.”

The lawmaker said the hotel is linked to him belongs to his wife which is also a source for their foundation.

Okorocha wondered how he could have stolen the meagre monthly allocation the State receives from the Federal Government.

Although thief's never admit to any crime, until they are caught.

Lies from the pit of hell.. God help Nigeria

I won't lie.... Rochas disgraced himself woefully with that useless Imo State 8years Governorship

A philanthropist with free schools across Nigeria, feeding , educating and clothing thousands, a man who sat at the high table during 1999 democracy day and Ikemba Ojuckwu's birthday, a runner up to Obasanjo in PDP primaries


Now his fellow Ibo people have dragged him so deeply in the pit, that his stench would last a lifetime to cleanse


.

He has torns of billions in his account, how is he poor...
