A chieftain of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Kenneth Okonkwo, has urged the South-East to narrow its state creation agenda to Adada State.
Okonkwo made the call on Monday while responding to questions during an interview on Arise Television monitored by DAILY POST.
He was reacting to renewed calls for the creation of an additional state in the South-East.
DAILY POST recalls that Delta North Senator, Ned Nwoko, had stated that creating another state would bring peace to the region.
Reacting, the Nollywood veteran and lawyer said: “The bill seeking to create a state in the South East is a long-overdue act of fairness, equity, and justice.
“The South East should take this opportunity to adopt a consolidated, peaceful approach to selecting one state among themselves—specifically, Adada State, with its capital in Nsukka.”
He also added: “Additionally, Nigeria must redesign its revenue-sharing formula to encourage productivity rather than consumption.”
