Twitter pokes fun at Rochas “the clown” Okorocha for putting picture with Obama on billboard
It seems Imo state governor Rochas Okorocha has not recovered from shaking Barack Obama’s hands.
Okorocha was on President Muhammadu Buhari’s delegation to a recent visit to America’s White House.
He got a rare chance to shake hands with who people call the leader of the greatest nation on earth, and went back home to throw a welcome party, we heard.
He didn’t stop there, he has allegedly erected a huge bill board in his home state.
The picture shows him, in the presence of Buhari, shaking hands with Obama with the message: “Behold the new faces of change!”
Oluwaseun Ladipo, who took the shot and posted in on Twitter, on Sunday afternoon told Newsroom he found Okorocha’s action ridiculous.
“It is highly ridiculous,” Ladipo told Newsroom, Monday.
He had tweeted the photo with the message:
“I wonder if Imo state has a signage and advertising agency, because this can’t happen in Lagos where there’s LASAA (Lagos State Advertising and Signage Agency),”
Twitter seems to be entertained by Okorocha’s seeming inability to contain “the Obama effect.”
@4eyedmonk gave “insight” into the conversation that probably ensued while the shot was being taken.
Rochas tells Obama: My President! My President!
Obama, amused, shakes Okorocha’s hands and thinks: “This dude is funny.”
Buhari jokingly cautions Okorocha: “Rochas, behave.”
@MusadiqZ thinks Okorocha’s move is cool.
“Rochas shook hands with the most powerful man on earth. It is only right for him to make billboards with the pictures,” the tweep said.
@royaltyuso: To add to this condescending display, Gov. Rochas Okorocha also held a welcome back party for himself. Bewildered!!
“I bet this picture will be in someone’s bedroom to been seen every morning, “@TosinOlugbenga had tweeted before Okorocha’s bill came to light.
He was wrong! The picture is on a billboard!

@Dahveydson said in defence of the governor: “You take a picture with a Nigerian celeb and post it on all your social media accounts, and you’re making noise over Rochas billboard. Gerrarahia”
@Inzaghi1: “Do you think it’s easy to see Obama and shake him? Please allow Rochas abeg. I’m sure the picture is also on his dressing table in his room.”
@LordOluRichard: “I’m not surprised by Rochas’ billboard thing, that’s what you get when you elect clowns.” Ouch! Delete! Editor, delete!
@YomaVictor: “Twitter didn’t get Rochas elected. The streets did. He knows to use what speaks their language for his interest.”
