Traditional rulers In Imo State reject Governors car gift.

Owelle Rochas Okorocha, was on Wednesday stunned as the Imo state royal fathers rejected the Toyota Sienna vehicles presented to them by the state government.
The traditional rulers, who made angry comments on the issue, stated that they were not consulted before the state government went ahead to buy the vehicles.

A Royal father stated that “it is most uncharitable for the administration to announce to the world that the governor is distributing vehicles free of charge to Imo royal fathers, when in actual fact Okorocha would be deducting N50,000 from our monthly stipends for the next three years.”

While insisting that each traditional ruler was expected to cough out a total sum of N1.8 million at the end of the three-year deductions, the monarch also opined that “the entire arrangement was deceitful and most embarrassing”.At least respect should be accorded to our Royal Fathers and they should also respect themselves live the Emire's and the Oba's.
