South-East To Get An Additional State - GEJ by chidonzone(m): 12:31pm On Sep 12, 2012
Indications emerged last night that the Federal Government may create two new states, and one of the beneficiaries of the additional state will be the Southeast region.

It was gathered authoritatively that the Southeast is to be considered an additional new state, because the geopolitical zone has only five states, and is greatly at a disadvantage if compared with the other geopolitical zones in the country.

According to a source from the Presidency, “President Jonathan believes in equity and fairness. I think his administration is favorably disposed to the creation of one or two states to address obvious imbalance.

“One of the states might be from the Southeast, which is the only geopolitical zone with five states. The other five zones have six states, with the exception of the Northwest with seven states.”

Besides, the source added that President Goodluck Jonathan is seeking for the amendment of 1999 constitution, particularly the area of local government having joint accounts with state governments.

“We want to ensure autonomy for local governments, especially on the need for the abolition of Joint Accounts. Most of the 774 local government areas in the country have become appendages of the state governors.

“The administration of President Jonathan is disturbed that there is no democracy at the local government level, let alone good governance. This is a vital tier of government.

“Also, Nigerians should expect fundamental reforms in the justice sector, especially access to justice, quick dispensation of justice and criminal justice reforms.” the source said

State creation will reduce the agitation for break up among the regions.

slimming: State creation will reduce the agitation for break up among the regions.

How on earth will the creation of a state within a region, reduce the agitation of the region for true federalism or autonomy?

I'm not Anioma but i think since Anioma has been clamoring for a state, it should be given to them and then it should be added to the south-east to make it six states.

Anioma is not big enough to make a state. Except they carve a couple of LGAs across the Niger and add to Anioma.

They should seriously consider Okun state and maybe one for the Beroms if only to stop the killings over there.

Overall many states are not robust enough. I wonder if merging some states is not even better.

Is this what we need now ? Misplaced priorities.. There is growing insecurity in the country, Underdevelopment and a snail economy and Our president is busy thinking of creating new states... na garri you wan give them chop after you created them..

How do you mean? What about Ektii, bayelsa, Ebonyi and Zamfara?

So, it's Okun state and a state for the beroms that are big enough abi? Talk about double standards.
Re: South-East To Get An Additional State - GEJ by Nobody: 2:14pm On Sep 12, 2012
Good move. I think states shouldn't be created on trying to satisfy some people, but based on the population of the people found in the state. It should be made such that a digit number is given, and a state should be created when the population of the state passes the number given.
Imagine a state like Nassarawa with forged numbers, claimed to be around 3million and having same number of LGA with states of over five million like OYO or Anambra with four million.

And the local government having it's own account separated from the state is not well thought. This will only lead to more money been embezzled by the LGA chairmen, and make the office a do or die thing. No matter how much you give the chairmen, they'll always hide behind the work of governors or federal government made in their local government.

What we need is empowering the states the more.

And what's the total polpulation?

Go back as far as 1963 referendum to carve out mid-west region. See the population figures there. Since then, we have not had any undisputed population figures in Naija.
