This is from the dailies;
As the National Assembly continues with the process of amending the 1999 Constitution, there was a strong presentation by the Itsekiri ethnic nationality of Delta State, yesterday, with a call for the creation of Warri State, just as the people stressed that it would put an end to the age-long marginalisation.
In the memorandum presented on behalf of the Itsekiri nation by Mr. Edward Ekpoko, Assistant Secretary of Itsekiri Leaders of Thought, the people said it was their inalienable right to preserve and control their land, language and their traditions and to participate in the government of the country at all levels.
Hmmmmmmm, am still trying to analyze whether this is a good move (thinking about the Warri Crisis some years back) no lele(problem)sha. I, WAG, I just sit back relaxed but alert watching to see the outcome of this, whether or not the National Assembly would take it into consideration.
Some people say Warri be like small dot wen dem dey turn round in one day, na the same Warri na dey want make e be state so.
Ok peeps, get ready because soon we may see the emergence of Agbassa Local Government, Ekurede-Itsekiri Local Government, Ubeji Local Government and Ogiyede Local Government Area. Hahahahahahahaha, its funny just thinking about it.
INFO OF THE DAY: Reasons Given By Mr. Edward Ekpoko.
“The Itsekiri produce over 30 per cent of the oil and gas that sustain Nigeria and sadly, they have no representative at the Senate of 109 members because of their minority position. It has only one member in the Federal House of Representatives of 360 seats and of the 29 members of the Delta State House of Assembly, it has only three.
“The area of the proposed state should be conterminous with the old Warri Division, Itsekiri homeland (now Warri North, Warri South and Warri South West Local Government Areas of Delta State).
Stay Sharp,
Warri Girl.
