The Youth wing of
Ohanaeze Ndigbo has reportedly submitted a proposal for a Draft Bill for the
Federation of South East states of Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Imo and Enugu states,
including Igbo speaking people of Delta and Rivers state.
According to group’s National
President, Arthur Obiora, the Draft bill which has been sent to all state
Houses of Assembly in the East for deliberation and passage, was to ensure
faster development of the country and make rat race to control the centre less.
Obiora said it has
become necessary for Nigeria to go back to regional system with a level of
autonomy for the federating regions in view of the socio-political and
structural conflicts in the country.
He expressed optimism
that the bill would be passed and assented to, urging other parts of Nigeria to
do the same.
On his part, the
deputy spokesman of Ohanaeze Ndigbo worldwide, Chuks Ibegbu, explained that the
Draft has come to address the future of Nigeria for better.
