Many thanks in advance, to you all, as you had in time past followed our various social media contents, publications and articles, drafted for the sole interest and benefit of Asaba and Ahaba's progressive and sustainability agenda.
There is no better time to be deeply concerned about the above subject matter than now, especially, now that, we are few weeks away from the forthcoming "Anioma State Creation's Public Hearing." Now is the best time to brilliantly consider some core political, administrative, technical processes, vital institutions, and organs of a pure democratic statehood.
Ideally, in every well implemented, governed democratic state, there are judiciary, legislative, and executive organs of any state administration. The essence of this article is to deeply examine these institutions and organs of state administration and fashion out a well structured and pro Ahaba position paper that will be presented at the public hearing, now is the best time to begin the commencement of this all important political and democratic exercise towards the emergence of a new state.
The seat and site of the new state capital; distribution of local government areas; historical and cultural uniformity of communities/clans that should constitute each local government area, are some vital democratic issues to be considered right now.
List of towns that should constitute each senitorial district, the House of Representatives, how the state of Assembly’s seats will be distributed aer very vital considerations to be carefully considered, such that Ahaba doesn't get or give our future children any reason to question our proactive responses towards this important civic engagement.
Nwa_Ahaba recall that our Ahaba proactive democratic and political leaders had since post independent Nigeria advocated, championed, and mobilised regional and grassroot supports for democratically created new regions and states, this historical and democratic background is a natural boast and endowment, we must never allow to either consciously or unconsciously slip away from us.
Looking back, since pre-colonia, colonia, and independent Nigeria, taking into account many ugly trends and ill-fated circumstances, Asaba endured, Nwa_Ahaba, it is only democratically right that, individually and collectively, cash in and upon these above mentioned past realities, as means and point of agitations towards demanding for Asaba’s right of place, relevance and befitting position in all scheme of things concerning the emergence of the soon to be born "Anioma State."
Before, now, Ahaba Sustainability Agenda, Asaba Post Media Solutions, and other like-minded organisations carried out an opinion poll on some issues around Anioma State Creation, based on the opinion poll's findings, we are moved to launch this second social media campaigns and publication on Anioma State Creation.
Nwa_Ahaba, Ahaba Sustainability Agenda, and our partners call upon you to individually and collectively think out and brainstorm these issues listed below, with a view at how best they will positively impact Asaba and Ahaba interest.
These issues include but are not limited to:
1) Where will the seat of government and the new state capital be sited?
2) What yardsticks will be used to determine how many independent and harmonious local government areas should be created in the new state?
3) To constructively and deliberately identify communities, clans and towns with similar historical and cultural uniformity, such that forming and clustering them into same local government area, granting them municipal house of Assembly status, House of Representatives and Senatorial District, will not for any reason pose future challenges in the new state.
4) In the new state, we advocate, that all geographical spaces, landscapes, outposts, and satellite towns, presently identified by H.R.M Asagba Prof. Epiphany Azinge (SAN) OON, FNIALS, FICMIC, LLD, KSJI, KSG, the 14th Asagba of Asaba, as part and parcels of Asaba Metropolitan City, with the royal father's spokesmen, vasal chieftains and royal representatives, shall officially constitute the length and breath of the the new local government area, as well as the new state's house of Assembly seat, as we advocate for an additional house of Assembly municipal seat, we strongly maintain that, that this new municipal seat will be carved out of these same geographical spaces, landscapes, outposts, and satellite towns, so identified by the royal father.
All of us at Asaba Post Media Solutions, Ahaba Sustainability Agenda and our proactive partners within Asaba, Delta State, Nigeria and in diaspora, fully committ, support, and energetically dedicate our time, talent, expertise and resources towards the pursuit and realisation of all these above mentioned Pro-Ahaba democratic agenda.
By Virtue of this social media campaign and publication, we strongly express our unalloyed commitment to the above position paper.
