Okorocha said those in office steal public funds because their salaries are not enough.
Speaking with Channels Television, he maintained that everyone in Nigeria was corrupt to a certain degree. The governor stressed that seeking to stop politically-exposed persons from dipping their hands into the public treasury will amount to an exercise in futility.
According to him, “All men steal. There’s no man in Nigeria, from A-Z who will say he lives with the money you pay him monthly. The salaries of governors are N750,000 a month. So, if you don’t have a second office or something else to do, you must steal. Any political office holder who doesn’t have a second office, must steal.”
