The governor made this known in a statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary to the state government, Mr. Sam Onwuemeodo.
Okorocha in the statement said those who are against his decision to honor Zuma are his political detractors and enemies of progress.
Governor Okorocha who in the statement identified the enemies of progress as the members of the People’s Democratic Party, who were not been happy with him since the launch of Rescue Mission Government started in 2011 said “If all we need to do to attract good things or investments to Imo State is erecting statues, then, we have no option but to erect as many of such structures as possible, we owe no one any apology. I made a promise to open Imo State’s doors to the rest of the world for good and I am doing that and I cannot be intimidated to stop this.”
