ADC Chieftain Advocates for New State in Southeast Nigeria

A top member of the African Democratic Congress (ADC), Adada Okonkwo, has called for the creation of a new state in the Southeast region of Nigeria, specifically proposing the establishment of Adada State with Nsukka as its capital. Okonkwo's push for a new state is based on the need for fair revenue-sharing formulas and historical context related to past military interventions.

The proposal comes amidst ongoing constitutional reviews and discussions on state creation in Nigeria. The Deputy Speaker, Benjamin Kalu, has shown support for this initiative.
