The Imo State Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha has said that former president, Goodluck Jonathan, offered huge sums of money, second term ticket plus an influential ministry for him to join the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) before 2015 general election, but he refused and joined the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Speaking when the people of Njaba Local Government Area of the state paid him a solidarity visit on his 55th birthday celebration, Okorocha said he was convinced that the APC would rout out the PDP because Nigerians were tired of the bad governance of the PDP then.

He noted that despite his contributions to the victory of President Buhari by way of preventing the PDP from rigging their way to power again, he had not been treated fairly by President Muhammadu Buhari.

“Look at Rivers State where they rigged 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”, he said.

The governor appealed to the people of Njaba, who had felt marginalised in the areas of projects and appointments to emulate him by being patient, assuring them that they would feature prominently in his next appointments.

He urged them not to envy anybody who is in any better position because one day their own would get to them. “It’ll look like it would never come, but if you remained consistent, you would surely gain”.
