Nigerians woke up last Saturday
to a giant statue of Jacob Zuma standing tall in Owerri, Imo state.
The Imo State Government, Rochas
Okorocha had unveiled the bronze statue, named a street after Zuma, conferred
him with a chieftaincy title and then the highest Merit Award in Imo state
during his two-day visit.
The Imo state government said
Zuma’s visit to the state was to “strengthen socio-economic relations and
deepen cooperation in education.”
Speaking about his visit, Zuma
said “I walked in here‚ as I said‚ as an ordinary freedom fighter. I’m leaving
Nigeria‚ through the state of Imo‚ as a hero. What a decoration.”
