Governor Hope Uzodinma of Imo State has called for the
creation of an additional state in the South-East.
Uzodinma made the call while delivering an address at the
South-East Zonal public hearing of the House of Representatives on the review
of the Nigerian Constitution.
”Ndiigbo will begin to see equity in action when an amended
constitution births a sixth state in the southeast.
“The Igbo people seek a constitutional guarantee of their
inalienable rights as citizens. A sixth state will go a long way in assuaging
the acclaimed marginalisation,” he said.
The governor reiterated that the Igbo people believe in ‘One
Nigeria’.
“I call on all Nigerians to take advantage of the
opportunity presented by the public hearing to present what they think is
necessary for our constitution to be called the peoples’ constitution,” he
said.
He commended the committee for going ahead to hold the event
in view of the recent security threats in the state.
