South East Stakeholders Criticize NASS Proposal for Six New States, Cite Marginalization Concerns
South East stakeholders strongly criticize the National Assembly's proposal to create six new states in Nigeria, citing concerns of political marginalization and imbalance in the region. The proposal, discussed during a two-day retreat in Lagos, aims to address structural issues but fails to satisfy the long-standing demands of the South East for equitable representation.
Stakeholders warn of potential division and political risks, especially regarding the creation of new states like Adada and Etiti. Ohanaez Ndigbo calls for unity to harmonize demands and prevent internal crises.
