Governor of Nigeria’s eastern state of Imo, Owelle Rochas Okorocha is on the firing line of opposition politicians for declaring a two-week Christmas vacation for civil servants in his state.

He did not just declare the vacation, he gave the workers bags of rice and and a salary bonus of N10,000 to use during the vacation. The Holiday will start from 21 December and end 7 January.

The opposition says by declaring the holiday, Rochas would paralyse government activities for the period and also shows that his government and the civil service is are idle.
