Why I Visited President Buhari In Aso Rock – Okorocha

The outgoing governor of Imo state, southeast Nigeria, Rochas Okorocha, says he met President Muhammadu Buhari in Aso Rock, to invite him to commission projects his administration executed in the state.

Naija News understands that the Governor who has been having a running battle with the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Adams Oshiomhole met President Buhari earlier today.

Similarly, Okorocha has been fighting the political battle of his life, following the decision of the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Manhood Yakubu, not to issue him Certificate of Return.

Asked whether he was at the State House to seek the President’s intervention over his matter, Okorocha said: “I came here precisely to discuss with Mr President to come and commission my projects. I have completed the construction of a new Cargo Airport Terminal, Warehouses and cargo sheds that is to be commissioned.

“I have also completed a new police headquarters and also a new prison headquarters in Imo State. These are federal government projects built by Imo State government. Another landmark project is the Justice Oputa Court – the new Imo State High Court Complex which we have built.

“So, we have over a thousand verifiable projects to be commissioned. So I am requesting Mr President to kindly commission the federal ones and see how many of the state’s projects he could commission for me. This is precisely why I am here,” he opined.
