Rochas Okorocha, Governor of Imo
State, has said he owes no apology for erecting the statue of the South African
President, Jacob Zuma in his state.
Okorocha said the reason for
erecting the statue was to encourage business relationship between the state
and South Africa.
The governor explained that Zuma
was in the state principally to sign a Memorandum of Understanding, MoU,
between the Jacob Zuma Educational Foundation and Rochas Foundation College of
Africa.
He made the remark while berating
those criticizing him for erecting the image of the South African president.
In a statement by his Chief Press
Secretary, Sam Onwuemeodo, the governor also accused the Peoples Democratic
Party, PDP, of not building the image of the state, while looting public
treasury.
According to the statement, the
PDP never attracted any meaningful personality to the state.
The statement reads, “If it was
in the days of PDP, Schools and Markets would have been shot down. And roads
closed because President Zuma was coming. But none of such things was done
because Rochas and his government have human face.
“The PDP for the 12 years they
held sway never attracted any meaningful visitor to the State except PDP NEC
members who were coming to loot the State.
“And in case these “Galatians” do
not know, if all we need to do to attract good things or investments to Imo is
erecting statues, then, we have no option than to erect as many of such
structures as possible. We owe no one apology.
“Rochas made a promise to open
the doors of Imo to the rest of the world, for good and he is doing that and we
cannot be deterred by these enemies of our people.”
