Governor Rochas Okorocha of Imo State has come under fire from Nigerians for the unveiling of a statue for South African President, Jacob Zuma in Owerri, the State capital.
The President was also conferred with a chieftaincy title and also had a road named after him.
The giant statue was unveiled yesterday, October 14.
Okorocha’s decision to honour Zuma came at time when Nigerians residing in South Africa are being killed in renewed Xenophobic attacks.
Below are some of the outrage Nigerians have expressed;
South African social media platforms have been laughing at us for hours. Rochas Okorocha has disgraced ALL Nigerians not just Imo state http://pic.twitter.com/NoulrI2WGm

What has Jacob Zuma done for Imo State??? FDI? Grants? Scholarships? Loans?? What exactly warrants a N500million statue 4 him in Imo state?

Rochas’ statue of Zuma in Imo State is a sad celebration of mediocrity in Leadership but perhaps an indication of where he hides his loot.
