…Akpabio Says None Pass Legislative Process
The President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, has confirmed that the Senate has received over 42 proposals across the six geopolitical zones of the country for the creation of new states.
Akpabio, while clarifying plenary in response to concerns raised by Senator Abdul Ningi (PDP, Bauchi Central), stressed that no new state has been approved by the Senate.
He dismissed claims circulating on social media that the National Assembly has approved the creation of new states.
“I have seen over 42 proposals, but not one has gone through full deliberation. The process of creating a state is very rigorous and has not been completed in any instance,” he said.
He urged Nigerians to rely only on official statements from the National Assembly concerning constitution amendments, and warned communities to desist from organizing meetings or mobilization efforts over proposed states that have not been legally established.
