Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State has been called out by Nigerians after he was spotted with a designer wristwatch reportedly worth four hundred and fifty-five million Naira.
The value of the Jacob & Co. Astronomia Sky White Diamond 18-piece Limited edition worn by Uzodinma is allegedly worth $785,496 which is equivalent to N455 million at $580 per dollar.
An architect and building engineer, Adeola Olutayo, who spoke with SaharaReporters, said N5 to N6 million can build a block of six classrooms in Nigeria, excluding the price of land, which is lacking in Imo State.
This stirred angry reactions from many social media users, who stated that there are numerous abandoned projects and bad roads in Imo State.
