Governor Nwifuru Supports New State Creation in South-East Nigeria

Governor Nwifuru of Ebonyi State expressed his backing for the establishment of a new state in the South-East of Nigeria, citing the need to correct long-standing imbalances in the country's federal structure. The governor's endorsement came after a state executive council meeting in Abakaliki.

While responding to reports of Ebonyi State potentially losing three local government areas in the proposed new state, Nwifuru mentioned the lack of official communication on the matter. Sunday Ogbu, a seasoned journalist, highlighted the importance of respecting elders in the face of growing trends of online insults towards political leaders.
