This Is The Real Reason Gov Rochas Okorocha Is “Building Statues” In Imo

Rochas Okorocha

Imo state governor, Rochas Okorocha, has finally given an insight into why he is transforming his state’s landscape with statues of African leaders.Speaking shortly after unveiling the statue of the Liberian President, Governor Rochas said his reason for building the statues is “to immortalize people so our children yet unborn can read a piece of them. History is dying in Africa. We must keep history alive. In the next 100 years to come, most of us will not be here but this will stand for children to read stories and mold their character. If leaders are not mortalised, there will not be history for children yet unborn’.Photo Credit: Getty
