Okorocha Turned Back at NASS, Refused Accreditation
Rochas Okorocha, former Governor of Imo State suffered another humiliation on Tuesday when he was refused accreditation at the National Assembly as one of those billed for inauguration today.
Like the biblical ” Is Saul among the prophets”, Okorocha was turned back by the NASS administrative officers making the once former Governor who ran Imo State like an emperor to leave shamefully.
On Monday Okorocha cried out that the Independent National Electoral Commission was yet to give him certificate of return as senator- elect despite a court order to that effect.
There were trending photographs of Okorocha on social media where he was clutching the INEC certificate of return which obviously was posted by those making mockery of the former Governor.
He later issued a statement clarifying that the photographs were fake following congratulatory messages he claimed he was receiving from friends, family and associates.
Okorocha was seen complaining to nobody in particular at the NASS where he was with family members and some praise singers around him equally looking confused.
