Nigerians have taken a curious eye to a certain supposedly expensive wristwatch Governor Uzodinma of Imo State was seen wearing.
Many have alleged it is a diamond wristwatch valued at $800, 000 or N480 million.
Uzodinma who is of the APC fold and is wildly referred to as “Supreme Court Governor,” due to the fact believe that he didn’t win the last elections, but was given green light by the apex court, was seen with the watch while meeting President Muhammadu Buhari while in the company of his fellow APC governors.
Switch Nigeria gathered that Imo State’s Internally Generated Revenue as of March 2022 was N996m while in April, it was N847m. While the state revenue agency, recorded an abysmal N649m as the figure for May 2022.
That is what drew the anger of Nigerians when they saw Gov. Uzodinma wearing the Jacob and Co. Astronomia Sky Watch which retails at $800k(N480m).

HOPE UZODINMA'S 480,000,000 naira diamond wrist watch can lift at least 300 families out of poverty if 800 families are to be empowered with 600k each, that is if we say 500 families didn't make it.
