The Adada State Movement wishes to commend the South East Governors and their legislators in the National Assembly for finally endorsing and recommending Adada to the National Assembly for consideration.
Adada is being carved out of Enugu State, with its headquarters in Nsukka, while Anim is being carved from Anambra and Imo States, with its headquarters in Orlu.
The Movement expresses satisfaction with the leaders, for appropriately removing some meddlesome interlopers who came to cause confusion in 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 longstanding 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.
