South-East: Ohanaeze Asks Tinubu to Create New State for Igbos; Demands Power Devolution



The apex Igbo socio-cultural group, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, has reiterated its call for restructuring the country and creating additional states in the South-East.

The president-general of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Worldwide, Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu, made the call during the Ohanaeze Ndigbo retreat on Wednesday in Enugu.

Mr Iwuanyanwu, who said Ohanaeze was not happy with the 1999 Constitution as amended, called for restructuring Nigeria, with power devolving from the federal government to the state government.

He said this would help the state have reasonable autonomy to develop at its own pace without any hindrance from the central government.

“It will enable us to build our own seaports, railways, and other infrastructure to develop the zone,” he said.

While calling for creating the extra state in the zone, the Igbo Leader lamented that the southeast had lost trillions because of inadequate states like other geopolitical zones.

He threatened to sue the federal government if it failed to give the region an additional state equivalent to other zones in the country, saying, “We are assembling Igbo lawyers to pursue it.” #NaijaEntertainmentNews
