Rochas Okorocha, the Governor of Imo state has come again.
He broadcast on Twitter that Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, the beloved President of Liberia will pay Imo state a visit. Twitter erupted with questions and condemnation because we all know what happened the last time an African President came to Imo.
However upsetting this might be, we should get rid of the surprise very quickly. We’ve shown you before the number of statues Okorocha intends to unveil before his governorship comes to an end, you best strap yourselves in for Okorocha’s wilding out.

Reactions:
To do what? You're trying to promote yourself from a governor to "president" of IMO state. I'd love to know what you're spending to receive these presidents in your state?

Oh my God, so that was the Liberian flag covered statue, may God punish evil

Only Nigerians know that in our dear Governor's lexicon, working visit is a synonym for statue unveiling & odonym ceremony 😂 https://t.co/Ed1438TdRc

Sir, We Kenyans correct you that Raila Amolo Odinga is our president

Oh has that been made official?
— Ifeanyi Peters (@iamTooFit) November 8, 2017
But he's not out of office right? My point exactly. No pun-intended.

Gotta slide that proposal in
Sir, I erect statue for a living, just in case. 🙄

Is this governor jinxed to be using the scarce resources of Imo people for statue?
— Dapo Ipoola (@Dapo_Ipoola) November 8, 2017
Please sir, honourably tell us the economic and societal value of this woman's visit. And that of her statue as well
— A Kpụrụ A Chịa 🦅 (@ugoo_UFO) November 8, 2017
Sir, what has been d contribution of these people to Imo State? If U need those statues, why not just build for leaders of Imo or Ndigbo at large. It is painful that taxpayers monies are being wasted on things like this. Except, there is something we, d citizens, are missing.
— Mazi Oluyole (@DCA_Adeks) November 8, 2017
Mr. Governor all these idea of inviting foreign leaders to your state at the expense of the masses is nothing but waste of scarce resources.
— Rotimi S. Bello (@RotimiBello3) November 8, 2017
Easy to erect a statue but can't pay workers and pensioners.
*sick*

I have said it before that a bill for testing mental state of a politician should be passed. Okoro Hausa is having mental issues.

By this time next year, #Imo state's #wayward #Governor would be building statues for famous #Porn #Stars like #Stormy #Daniels, #Briana #Banks, #Brandi #Love, etc… and possibly renaming #Ibari'Ogwa festival and #local #governments #councils after them.

Of what use are these statues to us, sir? Biko zagodi ajuju ahu? Ele uru statue ndia baara anyi, sir. You used state funds for this inanity?
— Stella Uchechi Nnodi (@dGrammarQueen) November 7, 2017
If truly you issued dud cheques to pensioners and turn around to us our money to erect these useless statues, God in heaven will judge you
— Stella Uchechi Nnodi (@dGrammarQueen) November 7, 2017
Do these Presidents not know our @GovernorRochas , a leader who subjects his followers to hardship, issuing dud cheques to pensioners and diverting public funds for a private venture @President_Ellen , methinks you should just stay put in your country and do not bother to come

Dude are you creating an African museum with these statues in Imo State? Don't you think your people are better off with good roads and SMS support programmes? Get real
— Odion Aleobua (@odionmatics) November 8, 2017
Come oh is this how you govern? @GovernorRochas. Where are the innovations you talked about? Please no more statutes! Haba.
I used to respect you a lot until you finally got hold of the governorship. Please, rearrange your priorities— Ayebaye Daniel Wanatoi (@wanatoi) November 8, 2017

Our thoughts are with the good people of Imo State as their able Governor prepares to embarrass them for the umpteenth time. Stay strong.✊
