Many Nigerians are not happy with the Imo State Governor following his appointment of his sister as a Commissioner in the state.
The Imo State Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha has been under fire since the announcement that he named his own younger sister, Ogechi Ololo, nee Okorocha, as the Commissioner for Happiness and Couple Fulfilment.
Since the news broke, the social media has been agog as many Nigerians have been giving Okorocha who claims to be the Peoples'Governor the stick with many wondering what a Commissioner with that portfolio would do and also ask why he should give the position to his sister.
This is the latest of gaffes by Okorocha who keeps moving from one controversy shortly after spending billions of Naira to erect statues in honour of the South African and Liberian Presidents, Jacob Zuma and Ellen Sirleaf-Johnson while he has not been able to pay the state workers salaries running into several months.
