India, July 19 -- Imo State Governor Hope Uzodinma has expressed the strong desire of the South-East region for significant changes in the ongoing 1999 Constitution review by the National Assembly.
During the South East Zonal public hearing held in Owerri, he stated, "Every other zone has six or more. This imbalance has led to underrepresentation in critical national institutions," emphasizing the need for at least two additional states in the region.
Uzodinma specifically proposed the creation of Anim State, citing its potential as an oil-producing entity, making it "commercially viable, with sufficient revenue base to self-sustain."
He argued that such developments should accompany the establishment of new local government areas.
