Senator Rochas Okorocha says President Muhammadu Buhari has promised to take on the case he has with the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).
He said this on Thursday while responding to questions from State House reporters after a closed door meeting with the President at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The former Governor of Imo State said the EFCC has continued to harass him in spite of a subsisting court order restraining the anti-graft agency from prosecuting him.
The commission had filed a 17-count fraud charge against him at the Federal High Court, Abuja, shortly after Okorocha publicly declared intention to contest for presidency in 2023.
He was alleged to have embezzled N2.4billion through connivance with some individuals and companies.
Okorocha said he met the President in order to get justice because the EFCC was still holding his international passport.
According to him, it is the responsibility of Buhari to ensure that justice is served on all citizens.
Okorocha stated that “The President said he would take up the matter, especially when he saw the judgment. He said, he will take up the matter and find out what is actually happening. And I hope he will do so. And I believe he will do that.”

Mr Okorocha should be ashamed of himself if you know and believe that you are innocent why running to the president to report EFCC he should face the music if at all he nothing hidden inside his cupboard. May God help us in this country we are in for it already.
