AGITATION FOR THE CREATION OF ADADA STATE
CHAPTER ONE
1.1 Background of the
study
Since the amalgamation of the Southern and Northern
protectorates in 1914 and the subsequent creation of states in Nigeria, the
issue of state creation has always being a tenuous and delicate matter. It is
gratifying to know that the present National Assembly has listed the creation
of more states especially as it has to do with the South East as part of items
in the much anticipated constitutional review..
Since the issue of an additional state came up, there have been, as usual,
several groups from the South East representing one interest or the other
clamouring for the proposed additional state to come their way. There is
nothing wrong with these agitations only that most of them stem from parochial
and narrow perspectives with warped historical facts..
When the National Political Reform Conference of former President
OlusegunObasanjo came to an agreement on the need for an additional state for
the South East so as to bring it at parity with other zones of the country, it
was unique in many respects particularly when seen from the perspective that
the issue of another state for the South East, which has five states against
six for the other regions, has always being relegated to the periphery of
national discourse. Therefore, when delegates to the conference in
near-unanimous acclaim agreed to a parity status via another state for the
Ibo-speaking South East, it was a significant step that was not missed on political
watchers that the full integration of a marginalized people was on the decline
almost 35 years after the civil war
Immediately the issue of an additional state was muted, diverse groups took to
the trenches to canvass arguments as to why the new proposed state should come
their way. Arguments such as intra-cultural affinity (meaning: slight cultural
hues within the Ibo race), contiguity and proximity are now being bandied by
some promoters of state creation in the South East as the rationale why ‘their
own narrow area’ should be considered against the general good of all Igbo..
For historical purposes, it should be remembered that the amalgamation of the
Southern and Northern Protectorates was done for colonial expediency and the
‘natives’ as the British considered the conquered peoples of the then regions
had no say in the matter. .
After the amalgamation, the second attempt at ‘state creation’ was done on the
over-taken theory of a nation on a tripod-Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa as the major
ethnic groups in the country, therefore the country should be politically and
administratively split along that line in the historical myopia of the British
that the minorities of the Delta, West and North would find a place in the new
arrangement. Subsequent attempts at ‘state creation’ all had one reason,
politically correct or otherwise, as the driving force. While these attempts
were hailed in many quarters, the South East by some unexplained happenings
always found itself ‘locked out’ on the equity and justice scale of state
creation.
1.2 Statement of the
problem
Today, since the issue of an additional state came up, no less than five (5)
groups- Adada (Enugu), Orashi (Anambra/Rivers), Aba (Abia), Njaba (Imo/Anambra)
and Igboezuo (a small of each of the existing states in the South East) State
Creation Movements have emerged in the South East canvassing why they are all
best suited to have the proposed state. What are their arguments
The Adada group in an unheard and laughable proposition argues that they are
culturally distinct from the rest of the Igbo. Unbelievable, you say! It is
common knowledge that the Igbo share common cultural affinity while not taking
away the fact that there might be linguistic variations but they are the
closest to ‘wholesomeness’ in all of Nigeria. Therefore, for the so-called
Adada proponents to argue on the basis of ‘distinct cultural affinity’ is to
entirely miss the point.
For the Orashi advocates it is the desire to be with their kith and kin in
Rivers and Anambra states that is driving them to demand for a state. The
question that needs to be asked of them- which is greater- to ‘be with their
kith and kin’ whom they have been inter-marrying for ages or to have a state
that is of greater importance to the entire Igbo race?
The argument of the proponents of Aba and Njaba states are not too different
only that both are claiming large population in their present states, therefore
the need for them to be ‘on their own’ as if that were enough criteria in
itself for state creation..
The most plausible and convincing argument I have seen to date is the agitation
for Igboezuo state. The proponents have demonstrated correctness of perspective
and have placed the overall interest of the Igbo nation first before any other
mundane consideration. What is their argument? To them, Igboezuo is like a
union of the five Eastern States; the new heartbeat of the Igbo nation..
They are proposing that some existing local governments from the five states of
the region be excised to form the new state. From Anambra state, Orumba North
and South Local Governments; Enugu will relinquish Awgu and Aninri, while
Ebonyi will give up Ivo and Ohaozara Local Governments. Abia will cede
Isuikwuato and Umunneochi with Imo producing the bulk of the local governments
by giving up Okigwe, Onuimo, Ideato North and South, IsialaMbano and Ehime
Mbano local governments. With these, the new state will be ready to take off
with 15 local government areas with headquarters at Okigwe.
The new state according to its promoters has in abundance agricultural
potentials like rice, root crops, oil palm, cashew, rubber, cocoa as well as
rich minerals deposits of kaolin, lead, tin, bentonite and limestone to ensure
its viability and sustenance. .
Besides the fact that the new Igboezuo State like Abuja at its founding will be
in a near-virgin territory, it will give each and every Igbo man a new capital
city devoid of the filth and decay that any of the other proposed states
represents. There is no gainsaying that the Igbo stands at the threshold of
history and should for once show unity of purpose rather than embark on
separate and confused agitations that have the tendency to submerge the demand
for equity under some other purpose that is at variance with the wishes and
aspirations of the peoples of the South East.
Any failure to find a common platform will no doubt send the signal to other
groups in the county that have shown some understanding with the Igbo cause for
an additional state to withdraw their support. And the outcome of such
withdrawal is predictable. .
1.3 Objectives
