THE National Assembly has been urged to revisit the issue of creation of Toru-Ebe State for the Ijaws to correct the injustice meted out on them by past governments.

A legal practitioner and Olowobolowei of Egbema kingdom in Delta State, Chief Seliwei Baidi, said in a statement in Lagos that the demand for Toru-Ebe State was borne out of the fact that it was an economically viable, naturally located on the heart of the crude oil that sustained the nation and had sufficient population.

Baidi, who said the proposed state consists of Arogbo-Ijaw clan in Ondo State, Egbema clan in Edo State, Egbema clan in Warri North local government area of Delta state, Okomu, Olodiama and Furupagha clans in Edo state, Isaba, Gbaramatu and Ogbe-Ijoh clans in Warri South LGA, as well as Burutu and Bomadi LGAs in Delta State, noted that it was a truly homogenous state meant to obviate the balkanisation of the Ijaws.
