ANAMBRA STATE HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY MEMBER, HON. AUGUSTINE IKE, (NNEWI NORTH CONSTITUENCY) WRITES NIGERIAN PRESIDENT, DEMANDS CREATION OF 6TH STATE IN THE SOUTH EAST.

Open letter to Mr. President: Call for the Creation of the 6th State in the SouthEast

Happy Eid al-Adha celebration Mr. President. The Eid al-Adha is Known as the “Feast of Sacrifice”, Eid al-Adha commemorates the Quranic tale of Prophet Abrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son Ishmael as an act of obedience to God. Thus, no better time to bring up this request before you and the leadership of the 10th National Assembly

Mr. President, the arguments for the 6th State to be created in the Southeast Geopolitical Zone are not only compelling but are grounded in history:

1. In the very essence of democracy is the need to strike balance. If Nigeria is founded on six geopolitical zones and each of five geopolitical zones has six states, it is then equitable that every geopolitical zone must have six states. Thus, Nigeria cannot on grounds of good logic be said to have six geopolitical zones until Mr President accents to the proposal to create the sixth State in the Southeast in the spirit of equity and fairness.

2. The South East is a very historical region in Nigeria and the memories of the good days in Nigeria is rooted to Ojukwu family ; Lord Luis Philip Odumegwu Ojukwu hosted the Queen of England and His son embraced the military and was of great service both to his region and Nigerians in general; thus, naming such State Ikemba State with it head quarters in Nnewi will tranquilize all agitations in the Southeast.

3. The Ikemba State will serve as another economic hub in Nigeria and a pilot state towards a New Nigeria ; thus, the need for the capital to be in Nnewi North LGA is beyond historical reason.

4. Mr. President, reminding you that the Southeast Geopolitical Zone is suppose to have a total of eighteen (18) Senators not fifteen (15) as the case is at present is analogous to telling one the need to eat balance diet! It cannot be overemphasized. The only way to fill this vacuum is to prioritize the creation of the remaining State for the Southeast zone within one year.

6. The sixth State is already a manufacturing and trading hub in the Southeast will provide Nigeria with alternative revenue to oil and maybe the China in Nigeria if properly created.

7. Mr. President I need not remind you that prioritzing this proposal will make you the greatest President in the history of Nigeria and posterity will not forget you.

Whilst we continue to remember your administration in our prayers, kindly treat this proposal as a need, not a want.

Regards

Yeyenatu.
What's the landmass and population of the whole the south east region that will justify the creation of additional state in the South east

How have they been able to develop the 5 states that they need another one.

Some of this people don't even know their priorities

Jogs1900:

What's the landmass and population of the whole the south east region that will justify the creation of additional state in the South east

And what is the landmass and population of the whole South South region please?

The whole of SE with 5 governors is just the size of oyo state, the population less than that of Lagos.

Yet, its the worst region in Nigeria. What is wrong with these people mentally?
Why soo backward after giving them soo many advantages ?

Lol..
As day breaks, it becomes clearer that these politicians are getting dumb...
They don't even bother about National Development...
The whole 5 eastern states are among the smallest, yet they clamour for more state. Where will they create the extra state from??
NE and NW states are among the largest state, yet they don't talk about creation of more state....
Even if the east is just 2 state, does it mean it can't be developed to standard?? What has more state got to do with development??
Lagos as a whole that is economically buoyant than the rest 35 states combined, why is Lagos not talking of Secession??
Abeg rest Oga legislator

They suppose merge some state in that region self

waynetee:
The whole of SE with 5 governors is just the size of oyo state, the population less than that of Lagos.

Yet, its the worst region in Nigeria. What is wrong with these people mentally?
Why soo backward?

The size o the entire Bayelsa State is not even up to the size a local government area (Udi LGA to be precise) in Enugu State

helinues:


Hahaha, so you people dey wait to get the 6 states before developing your region?

Ayam not understanding

Towns like Yenegoa and Uyo were not up to half of cities like Onitsha, Nnewi before they were made State capitals

Instead of them to be calling for a merger, they are busy advocating for new state.

Ebonyi and Enugu should be merged, that way, there will be a consolidation of resources to build a powerful state.

With good agricultural initiatives, Abia landmass can be converted to a cattle ranch, and natives be resettled in Anambra. That way, Nigeria would have a thriving Cattle industry.

Southeast, worst region? This is what happens when hate beclouds your reasoning.

Use google to learn the region with highest number of illiteracy to start with.

FreeStuffsNG:
I support it conditionally.

Oyo state needs extra states niyen.

The moment the President gives in to an extra state for SE, then Oyo state must be divided into 6 states since it's same size as the whole South East.

Oyo state is bigger than Hongkong. Benue state should be divided into 10 states according to your mentality because Benue is 10 times bigger than Lagos.

What has the size of state got to do with the topic?

Yeye dey smell to manage the 5 on ground is still difficult for them yet they want additional one Dot nation want additional one state.

obembet:

Yes o... Enugu Join Ebonyi...
Then Imo join Abia...

I support it conditionally.

Oyo state needs extra states niyen.

The moment the President gives in to an extra state for SE, then Oyo state must be divided into 6 states since it's same size as the whole South East.

jmoore:

Southeast, worst region? This is what happens when hate beclouds your reasoning.

Its the worst region, no sane person wants to go there.

Going to school does not guarantee intelligence, igbos have proved that

grassrootsig:


Towns like Yenegoa and Uyo were not up to half of cities like Onitsha, Nnewi before they were made State capitals

You are not answering my question.

Are you saying without getting the 6th states, Igbo's won't develop Alaigbo?

Jogs1900:
Yeyenatu.
What's the landmass and population of the whole the south east region that will justify the creation of additional state in the South east

What is the size of Lagos state...?

Jogs1900:
Yeyenatu.
What's the landmass and population of the whole the south east region that will justify the creation of additional state in the South east

even their 5 states is not up to a state in d north now these clowns want more

Their abia is like 3 local government in Ibadan self

Reality3080:
even their 5 states is not up to a state in d north now these clowns want more

Their abia is like 3 local government in Ibadan self

The entire Bayelsa State is not even up to a Local Government Area in Imo State

Puss360:

Yes o... Enugu Join Ebonyi...
Then Imo join Abia...
🙈🙈

Why won't tiny Lagos join ogun the skullllling capital.....and Ekiti join Ondo

grassrootsig:


The entire Bayelsa State is not even up to a Local Government Area in Imo State

but the entire south east is not even up to some states in d north

waynetee:

Its the worst region, no sane person wants to go there.

Who deceived you by telling you that you are intelligent?

Jogs1900:
Yeyenatu.
What's the landmass and population of the whole the south east region that will justify the creation of additional state in the South east

GDP justifies it

grassrootsig:


The creation of this additional State, will bring more developments and empowerments to the people of the region please.

The individual states are supposed to focus on increasing their productivity, not increasing the number of states.

helinues:


How have they been able to develop the 5 states that they need another one.

Some of this people don't even know their priorities

The people that have 6 are they more develped than south east?

Reality3080:
but the entire south east is not even up to some states in d north

Niger state could be bigger than all the states in SW...when you remove Lagos protectorate.

mrvitalis:

GDP justifies it

If it's GDP, South south and south west need more states..Their GDP is more than that of the SE
Lagos is meant to be further divided into at least 3 states too.
Does it make sense that way?

mrvitalis:

The people that have 6 are they more develped than south east?

Yes they are more developed than SE.

waynetee:
The whole of SE with 5 governors is just the size of oyo state, the population less than that of Lagos.

Yet, its the worst region in Nigeria. What is wrong with these people mentally?
Why soo backward after giving them soo many advantages ?

What about the GDP.... IMO GDP is higher than that of Oyo almost same as North East combined

Lagos is Nigeria's smallest state

Size should not be your issue

Productivity via GDP should and should east can very well support another state

jmoore:

Who deceived you by telling you that you are intelligent?

You see you think abnormally, where did i tell you about myself.?

You need psychiatrist hospitals in your region, not a new state.
