The bill, jointly sponsored by lawmakers from the region, including Amobi Ogah from Abia, Miriam Onuoha from Imo, Kama Nkemkama from Ebonyi, Chinwe Nnabuife from Anambra, and Anayo Onwuegbu from Enugu, received affirmative support during the plenary session on Thursday.

The bill proposing the creation of a new state in the South East region of the country has scaled its second reading at the House of Representatives.

The bill, jointly sponsored by lawmakers from the region, including Amobi Ogah from Abia, Miriam Onuoha from Imo, Kama Nkemkama from Ebonyi, Chinwe Nnabuife from Anambra, and Anayo Onwuegbu from Enugu, received affirmative support during the plenary session on Thursday.

The proposed state, to be named Etiti, aims to carve out territories from the existing states of Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo.

The state will have 11 LGAs: Aninri, Awgu, Isuikwuato, Ivo, Oji-River, Ohaozara, Okigwe, Onuimo, Orumba North, Orumba South, and Umu-Nneochi.

In his legislative brief, Ogah said the bill seeks to address a “longstanding” issue of regional parity and administrative efficiency within the south-east. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Ogah said, “The establishment of Etiti state is not just a matter of administrative convenience but a step towards ensuring balanced regional development and effective governance.

“It responds to the aspirations of the people of a very important region to this country and aligns with the principles of equity and inclusivity enshrined in our democratic ideals.

“Suffice it to say that it is a long overdue step in the right direction to foster equitable representation, enhance governance efficiency, and promote socio-economic development within the region.”

The bill was voted for when it was put to a voice vote by Tajudeen Abbas, speaker of the house.

The bill was read for the first time on July 2.

On Thursday, the senate also introduced a bill seeking to create Tiga, a new state, from Kano.

GO TO HELL!’ Trump Fires Off Christmas Day Message Raging At Biden’s Pardons, Slamming ‘Radical Left Lunatics,’ And Mocking Trudeau –

Published

President-elect Donald Trump shared a message on Christmas Day on his Truth Social platform, where he took aim at his political opponents and mocked leaders from other countries.

Trump began by addressing the “wonderful soldiers of China,” accusing them of operating illegally in the Panama Canal while the United States spends billions of dollars on repairs. He also reminded his followers that the U.S. had lost 38,000 people in the construction of the canal over 100 years ago.

Donald Trump Tried To Kill Me Once, Retiring Dem Congresswoman Fire a Disgraceful Shot at Trump in New Statements –

Published

Retiring Rep. Annie Kuster (D-NH) fired some parting shots at President Joe Biden, President-elect Donald Trump, and those of her colleagues who “just stay” in Congress “forever” in an exit interview with The Boston Globe.

From the Globe:

As Representative Annie M. Kuster leaves Congress, the New Hampshire
Democrat is hoping some of her colleagues might be inspired to do the same — and wishes President Biden had earlier, as well.

Kuster, 68, said her decision to retire was based on many factors, including Donald Trump’s approaching return to the presidency, but she hopes it will also encourage Democrats to make room for younger generations in the halls of power…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>

 

“I’m trying to set a better example,” Kuster told the Globe. “I think there are colleagues — and some of whom are still very successful and very productive — but others who just stay forever.”

And as for a role in a new Trump-led Washington, she said: “I’m just not the best gladiator for it right now.” READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>

Kuster said that Trump’s role in inspiring the January 6 Capitol riot — and her experience during it — was among the factors in her decision to step aside.

“I’ve said somewhat facetiously, he tried to kill me once, I’m not available for that again,” she told the Globe. “What we went through on Jan. 6 and his attempt to overthrow the government took a toll. That was that was really hard, and not just personally, but on my ability to work across the aisle.”

But Kuster didn’t reserve her criticism to Trump. She also said that she knew Biden might lose to Trump when he struggled through an appearance on the campaign trail alongside her earlier this year.

“Just in my heart, [I] reached the conclusion that this would be a very challenging campaign for him, and to put himself out there for another four-year term was was going to be a struggle,” observed Kuster, who admitted that Biden’s “team may have” worked to conceal his decline

She went on to liken a conversation with Biden after his disastrous debate performance in June to her conversations with her “own parents about, you know, their aging and their limitations.”
