Okorocha hurled this accusation on Sunday at his valedictory thanksgiving service, which took place in Government House Chapel in Owerri, the Imo State capital.
Speaking against the backdrop of his travails, occasioned by the seizure of his Certificate of Return as Senator-elect for Imo West, and his investigation by the Economic and Financial Crime Commission(EFCC), the governor said no single elite was enamoured of him saying “I tell you, I am the most criticised person in Nigeria today. I don’t know why the entire elite hate me with cruelty.”
He went on to swear at his adversaries: “those who want me to go to prison will go to prison before me,” adding “My Senate ambition is still a battle. More than 30 people have joined the suit to fight me. All these, I will overcome.”
