So should we expect a statue of the people that are going to be there?

Parliamentarians from all Anglophone African countries are already on their way to Owerri for the event which kicks off tomorrow.

Hope that will not be again @ the expense of the Okorocha's government otherwise all the participants should be ready to be stoned.

Always jamboree and waste even when civil servants are owed several months arrears and dearth of infrastructures. When shall we start seeing investors arriving and investing in the poor state of Imo in this manner to create jobs for the mostly poor Imo state people? Odi egwu

Rocha's is working

Owerri again?
