The Adada State Movement enthusiastically applauds the South East Governors and their National Assembly legislators for officially endorsing the creation of Adada State and Anim State for legislative consideration.
Adada State is set to emerge from Enugu State, with Nsukka as its administrative center.
Meanwhile, Anim State will be formed from parts of Anambra and Imo States, with Orlu as its capital.
In a statement signed by Ike Abonyi, Director of Media and Publicity for the Adada State Movement, the group expressed strong approval of the leaders’ efforts, highlighting their success in removing disruptive elements that threatened to stall the process.
We urge both the South East Governors Forum and the South East National Assembly caucus to harmonise and stand on their decision by monitoring the situation as it is presented to the National Assembly for final consideration.
The region must take no actions that could undermine the rectification of a long standing injustice regarding state creation for the region.
Recall that the Joint Constitutional Amendment Committee of the National Assembly had recommended the creation of one additional state in the South-East to ensure parity with other geopolitical zones and also proposed the creation of another additional state in each of the six geopolitical zones, resulting in a total of two new states from the South-East.
To successfully navigate the National Assembly process, advocates need to meet the requirements outlined in Section 8(1)(a) of the amended 1999 Constitution and Part 1 (1)(2) of the Creation of States and Boundary Adjustment (Procedure) Act, CAP C37 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004.
