The Imo State Government, has announced that Liberian President, Mrs. Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, will be in the State, on Thursday, for a two-day working visit, hosted by Governor Rochas Okorocha.

A statement in Owerri, by Okorocha’s Chief Press Secretary, CPS, Mr. Sam Onwuemeodo, revealed that Sirleaf would also deliver a Lecture on “Women in politics”.

According to the release: “On arrival on Thursday, Mrs. Sirleaf would be taken to the Palace of Eze Imo, to be accorded the African way of receiving an august visitor like her, and the Chairman of the State Council of Traditional Rulers, HRM Eze Samuel Ohiri, will be expected to decorate her with a Chieftaincy title.

“Taking into account that she took over the leadership of Liberia soon after a bloody Civil War, and she has been able to sustain the peace of that country for ten years now.
