Anambra Legislator, Writes President, Call For Creation Of 6th State In S/East by grassrootsig: 4:15pm On Jun 29, 2023 |
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 Hon. Augustine Onyekachukwu Ike KSJI Member Representing Nnewi North Constituency, Anambra State House of Assembly 1 Share

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 ? 8 Likes 2 Shares |

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??

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. 3 Likes |

FreeStuffsNG: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.
