Hon Amobi Ogah, the member representing Isuikwuato/Umunneochi Federal constituency in the House of Representatives, has told his constituents that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is interested in creating a new State from the region.

Hon Ogah, who disclosed this during the weekend while addressing his constituents, said that an additional State would go a long way in addressing the marginalization of the South East and propel development.

Didactic Information Hut recalls that the motion for Etiti State creation sponsored by Hon Ogah has already passed a second reading at the House of Representatives.

He said his colleagues from the South East were united in their support for the creation of the proposed new State.

“The good news is that Mr President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, sincerely wants to create an additional state for the South East so we can be at par with other zones.

“When he said he would create the South East Development Commission, we thought it was a joke but today, we have seen it’s a reality,” the lawmaker stated.

Hon Ogah further acknowledged that although Igbo speaking people of Delta State extraction were pushing for Anioma State, Etiti State which he is championing would reduce tension in the zone.

According to Him, Nigeria runs a government of “sharing formula where regions with more States and States with more local governments get bigger chunk of the shared national revenue, expressing shock that the House of Representatives members from two North West States outnumber the entire South East Reps.

The Bishop of Okigwe Methodist Diocese, Bishop Livinus Bereonwu Onugha and the former Vice President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Dr Dozie Kingsley and other speakers in their separate responses lent their support for the proposed Etiti State.

Impressive.

That is long over due. The president have Igbo at heart if that happens

Beer parlor talk
The states in existence are still suffering from neglect, yet you want to create extra states.

If that's not drunken talk, I don't know what is.

President Tinubu should not do such mistake. With 5 states they are a burden to the country, always contributing nothing to the federations account

This one is dishonourable

How can a lawmaker alter this nonsense? Na presidency go give the new states in SE without the input of the Senate and house of reps.

This guy should be recalled

You may want to help the situation by sacrificing one of the states from your region, so that the other states there will be taken care off in better ways. How about that? Cunny chameleon..

You don't want a reduction of states from your region to trim the government, but you are vigorously opposed to creating more regions elsewhere because oyou want to trim the government! No be juju be that!?

Is that an achievement? That's if he'd do it.

It should be the right of the Southeasterners.

Tinubu should face governance and leave politics.
After rigging himself into Aso Villa, it behoves he does what'd make Nigerians regret not voting him in the first place.

Tinubu has no powers to give anyone any state. This is not military rule where any general in power can get up to announce the creation of new states any time he likes

States can only be created by the National Assembly, and if you read the procedure to create a new state, you will know that it is almost impossible to do

Do you know that before a new state can be created in Nigeria, all 36 states must vote on it, and two thirds majority must support it?

If we don't start executing jungle justice on these useless politicians, they will continue to think we are foolish. Who gave Tinubu the power to create new states in a democracy? A stupid man speaking to an ignorant audience!

He's saying the truth, the bill to create Etiti state is the only bill out of many bills to create a new state in the SE that has passed second reading and will soon the third & final reading.

They can't create an additional state without the approval of the President who will pay allocations and distribute federal revenues to the state.

Creation of states has nothing to do eith the President, it is the National Assembly that creates State, it is the duty of the President to follow any lawyer made by the National Assembly, or resign if he can't

He is saying the truth about SE consensus on state creation but the consensus favours Anioma not Etiti.

Extra state creation, in any part of the country, may not be a good idea for now.

When and where was the consensus done?

Guy, it's a matter of constitution, the President has to append his signature, dull boy.

Igbo stakeholders agreed on Etiti state years back the issue of Anioma state is been considered now because Ned Nwoko is proposing it will be merged with SE after it is created.

Anioma state shall never be merged with a region of sit-at-home, land of ipob cannibals, home to kidnappers and human organ harvesting/traffickers.
Anioma would rather wine and dine with the devil than merge with a people that supports and encourage evil (ipob terrorists) who eats human flesh.
Create a new state from your 5 plots of land

If you are don ranting you gettout.

Though the frog eye needs to go through the national assembly for it.Then again to what end.
That still will never make SE consider him for vote.He is never an option even if he hangs seyi head at main bridge.

If you’re done getting bia.fraud, you chop human meat like in Orsu

Make them create from east Sha. No be from our south. Besides, the process to create state/region rests on the referendum by indigenes, not politicians

Stop dreaming

Common!

You're not naive to know that state creation is not what a president can just give. Infact, no civilian govt has created any state since Gowon started dividing the regions

madridguy:
Impressive.

You guys are not enlightened to practice democracy. A president cannot create a state just like that. Has any civilian govt ever created a state?

Left to me Ekiti should be rejoined to Ondo, Some Northern states should be rejoined too, yes they'll be very large states but they would be administratively handled best together.

All these creation states is based on federal character national cake principles if everyone goes back to federal restructuring it'll end forthwith
