The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has dismissed a bill proposing the creation of additional states for the South-East region, insisting that a referendum on exit from Nigeria is the only acceptable solution.
The bill, which passed its first reading in the House of Representatives on Thursday, seeks to create Orlu State from parts of Imo, Abia, and Anambra states.
IPOB spokesman, Emma Powerful, argued in a statement, that creating more states in Igboland would only lead to increased confusion, hatred, and mismanagement.
