Nigeria’s President, Muhammadu Buhari, has spoken about an issue he has with people from the South-East region of Nigeria.
Binari stated this when he appeared in an interview with Channels TV on Wednesday, Jan. 5, where he spoke on pressing national issues, including the call for the creation of another state from the South East.
The president explained that some leaders from the region approached and demanded the creation of one more state to give the region an equal number of states like the other geographical regions.
Buhari said he gave them the assignment to go and look at the map of Nigeria and see how many of the existing states in the South East will contribute to the new one.
He said: “I have a problem with people from the South-East; they said they wanted another State, as each of the geopolitical zones has six states.
“I said, go and look at the map and see how many of the existing states will contribute to other states.
“That was the last I heard from them on the matter.”
