Members of the ongoing National Conference
holding in Abuja yesterday July 3rd while
deliberating on the report of the committee on
political restructuring and forms of Government in
Nigeria, endorsed the creation of 18 new states to
add to the existing 36 states. They also endorsed
the rotation of the Presidency between the North
and South and other Geo-political zones in the
country.
The members suggested the creation of a state
for the South-East geopolitical zone which has
only 5 states in order to bring the number to 6
which is the number of states of other zones,
apart from the North -West, which has seven.

The Conference is to later determine the names of
the remaining two other states and their capitals,
which are to be created in the South-South and
South West zones. If approved by the Presidency,
the number of states in the Country would now be
54.
The conference members also voted for the
rotation of the Presidency between the North and
South and also between the geo-political zones.
They also voted against the immediate swearing-
in of a Vice President into the office of the
President should a sitting President die in office
or be impeached.
They proposed that a Vice President should be
sworn in as Acting President for 90days within
which a fresh election for a new President should
be held.
The delegates also agreed that the old national
anthem, “Nigeria we hail thee…” should be
replaced with the current one.

Questions. 1. Why combining anambara and imo. 2. How many states will be created from the east. Boko haran and Apc at work

NIGERIA IS CONFUSED! We are yet 2 manage the 36 states created effectively and we are about creating 18 more states. Creating these states will promote corruption and give boko haram more room perpetrate evil. POLITICS!
