"It is blood money"- Facebook users reject Governor Okorocha's N5.5m largesse




Imo state governor, Rochas Okorocha reportedly gave Ebonyi House of Assembly member, Maria Ude Nwachi, N5.5 million to share within a group, The Igboist, which she manages on Facebook. The group is dedicated to Igbos on the social media platform.
