A new state has been proposed
from Abia, Rivers and Imo State.
Proponents of the new state called
ENOA say its creation will fast-
track development in Abia /Rivers
corridor considering the rich oil
deposit in the region.
Coordinator of ENOA State
Movement Associate Professor
Onwubiko Dike, told newsmen in
Aba that the viability of the
proposed state plus the cultural
affinity among the people had
made its creation necessary.
“ENOA State is a
very viable state which has 220
functional oil Wells and 90 capped
oil Wells.
“The place is fertile, we have
palms and we have tourist
attractions.
“There is just nothing that one
should be afraid of in creating the
state and that is why we are
asking for ENOA State”, he said.
He also cited marginalisation of the
affected clans by their current
states as reason for the agitation
for the new state.
On how they arrived at the name
for the proposed state, he said
“ENOA is an acronym derived
from the five areas or clans
demanding for the state.”
He said the letters of the acronym
were taken from the initials of the
areas forming the state which
includes Etche, Ndoki, Obigbo,
Omuma and Asa.
He said the people of the new
state he common descent and
were together under Ahoada and
later Obehie magisterial districts
before they were scattered by
state creation.
“Before this time, all of us had
one common place, Obehie, that
hosted our Magistrate Court.
“Everybody was assembling there
including those of them in Rivers
State, Omuma and Etche.
“We have everything in common.
The dialect is the same thing, our
mode of dressing, and everything
because of our common cultural
ancestry.
“With this 1999 Constitution
review, and state creation in it, we
chose this opportunity which we
had sought for all this time
because we are now minorities in
all the states where they put us.
“In Abia, we are minority, in
Akwa Ibom, we are a minority, in
Rivers State, we are a minority
and this has not helped us
politically and in terms of
development, we are
disadvantaged”, he said.

Wuruwuru to the answer.

Groups or fulanis government.. carving out a state from the small ABIA, IMO and Rivers State.. what about Niger states and Kano states...
For me it's not a good idea, if you think it's a good idea tell me how?

They want to remove the oil rich areas from abia and Imo then call it south south too and allow Biafra to exist
