Vice President Yemi Osinbajo on Wednesday met former Imo governor Senator Rochas Okorocha (APC, Imo West) at the Presidential Villa, Abuja behind closed doors.
Okorocha has been involved in a political feud with his successor Governor Hope Uzodinma. The duo are of the same political party.
The meeting was to find a solution to the crisis between the duo, it was learnt.
After meeting the vice president, Okorocha said to State House reporters: “The whole thing to me sounds like a movie, a joke, a dream that does not reflect any practical reality, but I am a father, I’m a leader of that state and I am trying to make sure things don’t escalate beyond control.
“But for what has been done to me, I am human; I can bear it just for the purpose of peace to reign.
“I am still waiting to understand the reason why all the attack because before, the allegation was that the money used in building was government money.
“Now, it has changed; it is no longer the issue of government money, but that it is built on the green verge and allocation where Government House was supposed to be built. I am still waiting and only time will tell.
“But let it be known that I was Rochas Okorocha before governor and I am still Rochas Okorocha after governor.
“Government House never made me. I was who I was, before becoming governor. Rather, I would say that becoming governor was a sacrifice on my own part.”
