The Obama-Okorocha billboards that triggered the buzz this morning, taken from inside a car

Rochas Okorocha, governor of Imo state is in the news again over the visit to the United States by President Muhammadu Buhari.

The last time, Okorocha was caught redhanded sleeping by the camera at a meeting in Washington between Buhari and the World Bank President, Jim Yong Kim. The photograph went viral on the net.

Today, five days after the visit, the controversial governor has stirred a new buzz on the net with his decision or maybe his sycophants’ to plaster the city of Owerri with billboards, showing him and President Barack Obama.

One tweet thumbed the governor so low and queried why the governor is showcasing the photo, as if it is testimonial of achievement. Some other tweets urge Okorocha to pay his workers first, instead of wasting money on billboards. One tweet taunts him to rename Imo state as ‘Obimo state’.

Here are some of those tweets. You can also join the discussion.

Rochas should rename Imo state in honor of Obama to Obimo state. This is sad cos workers are trekking to work coz of nonpayment of salaries

I just heard that the Rochas & Obama billboard is just like MTN, its everywhere you go in Imo state. Is that the #Change?

Change has nothing to do with billboards. Pay workers their salaries, empower the youths. Make life comfortable for your people Gov. Rochas.

On the governor’s twitter account, he actually posted other memorable photographs about himself during the visit.
