Imo Group condemns planned reception of MGBN

A Socio/Political Group based in Owerri, the Imo State Capital, the Imo Democratic Congress has condemned in strong terms the recent committee of over 25 people recently inaugurated by the Imo State Governor to plan the reception of the Most beauti Girl in Nigeria slated in the coming weeks.

The Group said the wasteful exercise which is coming on the heels of over 200 million incurred by the same Government to organize a concert for an Italian musician PAVOROTTI stand condemned both in the eyes of men and God especially because the same Governor who is busy wasting millions of tax Payers’ money has neither built one quality Grade A Road since he took office in 2007 nor improved education or health care. The statement read in Part”. The attention of Imo Democratic Congress has been drawn to the inauguration of a committee of over 25 people by the Governor of Imo State in Owerri recently to plan the reception of Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria. This is uncharitable to say the Least especially because a Government which is spending so much on frivolities has not built one single quality Road in Imo State, nor equipped any health care centre or primary school again this is the same Government that refused to honour a Daily Editor who won Editor of the year award but is now spending millions to receive a lady whose award has little to do with development in Imo State

The Group further said it was perplexed that Imo State Government is erecting billboards in Lagos, Enugu, Abuja and worth millions of Naira to add colour to the reception of the most Beautiful Girl in Owerri, whereas such is needless and then vowed it would disrupt the occasion if the State Government ignores its ultimatum to shave the reception and channel the budgeted money to provision of infrastructure in the state
