The outing Imo State governor, Rochas Okorocha has finally moulded the Nigeria\u2019s President, Muhammadu Buhari as his parting gift.
Owelle Rochas Okorocha, who recently developed flair in image moulding of notable personalities in Nigeria and beyond has recognized Buhari with his statue in a designated place at Heroes Square Owerri, Imo State.
Erecting Buhari\u2019s statue alongside the others barely 5 days to leave office as the state\u2019s 5th Civilian governor may not be unconnected to plans of keeping a long lasting relationship with the President, and in respect to future political entanglements.
It would be recalled that Buhari\u2019s last visit to Imo was early this year during the grand finale of the APC governorship campaigns.
Okorocha in his usual \u201cshow\u201d of projects took the President round the monument site.
Trumpeta observed that while the Presido was admiring other people\u2019s statues, his own was conspicuously missing.
Against this backdrop, the outgoing governor and architect of statue moulding may have had a deep taught that led to the moulding of Buhari\u2019s image.
Also, many attempts to attract the President\u2019s presence in the State for the said commissioning of some of his projects within his 8 year tenure proved abortive, even though there had been counter reports surrounding the country\u2019s first citizen\u2019s absence in the State.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
