Is there a statue of Nguyen Huu Canh in Saigon?

This is a really random question, but yea... I think it's pretty weird that the founder of modern Gia Dinh- Saigon doesn't have a big statue in saigon itself

Here's a random fact about Nguyen Huu Canh in wikipedia

Tên đất
Khi vào kinh lược Đồng Nai, Nguyễn Hữu Cảnh chia đất Đông Phố lấy xứ Đồng Nai đặt làm huyện Phước Long, dựng dinh Trấn Biên (Biên Hoà) và lấy Sài Côn làm huyện Tân Bình, dựng dinh Phiên Trấn (Sài Gòn). Hữu Cảnh đặt tên Phước Long và Tân Bình đều có dụng ý. Phước Long vốn là tên làng nơi ông sinh ra và Tân Bình cũng là tên một huyện ở Quảng Bình.

Hai chữ Tân và Bình mà ông đặt tên huyện theo quê hương ông, về sau được dùng đặt tên cho nhiều vùng đất ở Nam Bộ. Nhiều thôn, xã, phường thuộc hai tổng Bình Dương và Tân Long có những chữ này như: Bình Đông, Bình Tây, Bình Tiên, Bình Trị, Bình Triệu, Bình Hoà, Bình Chánh, Bình Điền, Bình Phước, Tân Định, Tân Thuận, Tân Hưng, Tân Khai, Tân Mỹ, Tân Phước...
