NAIJ.com earlier reported how Governor Rochas Okorocha erected a statue for Liberian president, Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, and some other African leaders.

Johnson-Sirleaf said her statue erected in Imo state would help to inspire young girls and women to work towards reaching their potentials.

She said this while she delivered a lecture on Women in Politics at the International Convention Centre Owerri, the capital of Imo state, where the statue was unveiled. According to her, Africa as a continent has some good reasons to celebrate.
