Deputy Speaker Kalu has updated the proposal to create 30 New South Wales.
Nigeria News Nalin The report said Benjamin Kalu’s deputy speaker said none of the 30 proposals in NSW did not meet the requirements of Article 8 of the Constitution.
Kalu clarified in a statement issued by his media office on Friday that parliament has not yet taken a stance on the issue.
He explained that to create a new country, the Constitution requires the Senate, House of Representatives, State House of Representatives and local governments to vote with a two-thirds majority.
Karu said the National Assembly is committed to following the procedure and invites applicants to resubmit their recommendations after complying with the Constitutional Code.
He said: “We are the People’s Congress. We have not taken any position on the issue of building a country. We have heard that many people have different narratives of the letters they read.
“Let me remove the dust.
“During the Ninth Congress, we received more requests for national creation, some of which were made through private member bills. Some were from memorandums we requested, and at the Tenth Congress, we received 30 instead of 31.
“I think, on that list, they repeat twice Ibadan State. What we received was 30.
“As we said, none of these 30 proposals meet the requirements of Section 8, which is why we decided to submit it to a notice from the Nigerian that your application is invalid before us.
“So you need to comply with Section 8 so that when we don’t consider the state creation request, you will know where it was sent.
“So, the notification to the public is that you have your scope between now and March 5 so that you can resolve the gap in applying for domestic creation.”
