The South-east has been agitating for an extra state to correct the imbalance in the South-East region. Some are of the opinion that, why would they canvass for another state even when the existing states in the country appear not have the capacity to self-develop.
There is no doubt that the South-east has been marginalised. There is no justification where some zones will have six and seven states but one will have only five. By doing that, you are depriving them of funding to develop their zone, local government and all that. It is good to be fair. I think we need to continue to say it that we must be given another state.-Senator Annie Okonkwo
