Delta State People’s Democratic Party, PDP, governorship aspirant in 2007 general election, Chief Sunny Onuesoke has condemned the recommendation of the  delegates at the National Conference for the creation 18 states to be shared equally among the six  geo-political zones is wrong.

Onuesoke who condemned the decision while fielding questions from journalists in Warri, Delta State  said while it was a good decision to create more states in the country, the decision to share the proposed states  equally among the six geo-political zones.

Onuesoke argued that it would be wrong to create more states out of the North East and North Central parts of the country when states in that part of the country are not economically viable.

According to him, “One of the major factors for state creation has to do with its economic viability which majority of the present states in the core Northern part of the country are lacking,” adding that the core North has viewed the creation of states as means of raising fund from the federal government.

He, however, suggested more states should be created from the Middle-Belt, South-East, South-West and Niger-Delta Regions that are economically viable.
