I will never contest against Buhari in 2019 - Okorocha

“I will never run against President Buhari but would continue to support him in the overall interest of the nation, especially when he has stabilized the nation. I want to also say that those in Imo who made many political enemies should forget the Douglas House.

“We need people with free mind. I have killed the clannish nature of the state where people consider where you come from before doing anything for you.

“The politics of sentiment must be discarded and discouraged. It is shame for somebody to hope on zoning to win elections,” the governor said at a breakfast meeting with journalists in Owerri, the capital of Imo state.

Okorocha further revealed that his administration has never borrowed a dime from any bank.

The governor’s revelation came at a time many state governments are heavily indebted to banks with some allegedly even borrowing to pay salaries.
