BREAKING: Abba Moro sends draft for creation of Apa State to constitution review committee
The Senate Minority Leader, Abba Moro (Benue South), has sent a draft for the creation of Apa State to the constitution review committee.
Moro made this known recently during a virtual meeting with Idomas in the diaspora.
IDOMA VOICE reports that people of Benue South have been agitating for the creation of Apa State from present day Benue State.
Speaking during the meeting monitored by IDOMA VOICE, Abba said the draft got the endorsement of the nine local government chairmen in the senatorial district and ⅔ of members of the Benue State House of Assembly.
He, however, lamented that the Benue State Deputy Speaker, who represents Ado State Constituency, Danladi Lami Ogenyi, refused to sign “for reason best known to her.”
Moro said amid cheers, “Yes, we have submitted a draft to the constitution review committee on the creation of Apa State.
“Sadly, the Benue State deputy speaker refused to sign for reasons best known to her. Although, we got the approval of the nine LGA chairman in Benue South and ⅔ of the Benue State Assembly, with that, we are good to go,” Moro added.
