Imo state governor, Rochas Okorocha was meant to present the state
2018 budget to the members of the state House of Assembly
yesterday, November 28th. He however released a statement announcing
that the presentation has been postponed. In a statement released by his
Chief Press Secretary, Sam Onwuemeudo, Okorocha said he postponed the
presentation after he discovered disturbing discrepancies in the speech
he was meant to read to the lawmakers. The state in part reads
‘’With utmost regret, we wish to inform the public that the announced
presentation of the 2018 budget to the Imo State House of Assembly by
the governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, fixed for Tuesday, November 28,

discovered in the budget speech. A new date for the budget presentation
will, as usual, be made public.‘’We regret this development. And we
appeal to all those concerned with the exercise to bear with us. Once
