House Of Reps Receives Proposal To Split Adamawa Into 3 States

The People of Mubi , Northern Adamawa district, and Chamba Cultural Development Association (CCDA) have demanded for the creation of Amana and Gongola States, out of Adamawa.

Mr Ahmad Sajo, Spokesperson of Mubi Local Government Area, said that Mubi deserved to be a state, named Amana with capital city in Mubi.

According to him, originally they are part of Cameroun, but by choice, they joined Nigeria because of promises made to them by the then Prime Minister of Nigeria, Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, for peace and progress.

“Hence we anchor our demand on the premise of the trust we had in Nigeria which in Hausa means Amana.

“Restore our status as an autonomous region or state as it was when we joined you.

“This is because the premier of Northern Nigeria promised us our continued status as a distinct entity within the Nigerian state and our capital which is Mubi,” he said.

Similarly in his submission, Alhaji Yunusa Gisilanbe, State Chairman of CCDA, also demanded creation of Gongola State.

He said the new state would constitute southern senatorial district of Adamawa made up of Ganye, Toungo, Jada, Mayo-Belwa, Demsa, Numan, Lamurde, Guyuk and Shelleng Local Government Areas.

He said that if created, three additional local government areas needed to be created- Gangdu from Ganye, Yelli from Jada, Nasarawo-Jereng from Mayo-Belwa, Barrong from Demsa.

He further said that the association also supported local government autonomy in all ramifications.

In his remarks, Rep. Mohammed Monguno, Chairman, House of Representatives Constitutional Review Committee, Yola Centre, assured that all memoranda would be submitted before the house for considerations.

Mohammed, who is the Chief Whip of the House of Representatives, said that the review of the constitution would be based on wishes and aspirations of the people.

Femi Gbajabiamila Asks Nigerians To Support National Assembly To Birth New Constitution

 The Speaker of the House of Representatives, FEMI GBAJABIAMILA says the 1999 constitution falls short of standard and needs to be adjusted to meet the aspirations of Nigerians.

He stated this at the opening of the House of Representatives public hearing on the review of the constitution in Lagos.

The speaker asked Nigerians to join hands with the 9th National Assembly to birth a new document that will fix some challenges confronting the nation.

GBAJABIAMILA said though the current exercise is not the first of its kind, it might be the most important one in the nation's recent history as the decisions to be made would have far-reaching consequences for the future of Nigeria.

In response to the doubts expressed in some quarters about the exercise, he noted that there was no perfect constitution anywhere in the world, but that it was imperative for Nigeria to have a near-perfect constitution to enable the country to confront and resolve many of its political, economic and socio-cultural challenges.
