million.
Earlier this month, Governor Rochas Okorocha
reportedly approved N600 million for this
Christmas tree and New Year decorations.
The cost is really shocking considering the fact
that the state workers have not been paid
salaries for several months.
Undoubtedly, the tree and its price have triggered
emotional reactions among Nigerians who started
blaming Governor Okorocha, appealing to
his conscience.
Below is the reaction from some angry Nigerians
on Twitter
Meanwhile, Chief Emeka Ihedioha, a former
deputy speaker of the House of Representatives,
also criticized the governor
for spending such huge sum of money on
Christmas tree and decorations.
“It is ridiculous and indeed smacks of insensitivity
for this government to spend over N600 million on
decorations when families can no longer afford their
meals and basic needs as a result of non-payment
of salaries, pensions and other entitlements,” he
noted.
