During Tuesday’s plenary, Akpabio responded to concerns raised by Senator Abdul Ningi (PDP, Bauchi Central), clarifying that although the Constitution Review Committee has received over 42 proposals, “not one has gone through full deliberation.”
He explained, “The process of creating a state is very rigorous and has not been completed in any instance.”
