Senator Osita Izunaso, who represents Imo West, has revealed that the Nigerian Senate is currently considering a bill proposing the creation of a new state in the south-east geopolitical zone, to be named “Anim.”
Speaking during a media briefing in Abuja on Friday, June 13, Izunaso said the bill has passed its second reading and is presently before the committee on constitution review. He explained that Anim State would be carved out of parts of Anambra and Imo states.
“It’s not a favour, it’s a matter of equity. Every other region in the country has six states, except the south-east, which has only five,” Izunaso said.
