According to him, Otu 'is going through a lot'.
' The Speaker added that 'no dime was paid to state coffers' in the concession deals. 'I can tell you that in all of these projects, you hear about concessions, no dime was paid into Cross River State Government coffers. Not one dime. Prove me anywhere, not one dime was deposited into the Cross River State account,' he said.
