The Arthur Obiora-led national leadership of the Ohanaeze Youth Council (OYC), has submitted a proposal for a draft bill for the Federation of South East states of Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Imo and Enugu states with Igbos in Delta and Rivers opting to join them.
This was made known by the National President of OYC, Dr. Arthur Obiora, in a terse statement, on Friday.
He said the draft bill had been sent to all state Houses of Assembly in the South-East zone for deliberation and possible passage.
“In view of the socio-political and structural conflicts in Nigeria, it has become necessary for Nigeria to go back to regional system with a level of autonomy for the federating regions
“This will ensure faster development of the country and make rat race to control the centre less. I hope, the bill will be passed and other parts of Nigeria do the same.”
