PRINCE FRANK UKONGA GOVERNORSHIP CANDIDATE IN THE EDO 2012 POLLS DEMANDS MORE L.G TO BE CRATED IN EDO STATE- AKOKO EDO AND CALLS FOR THE CREATION OF EDO NORTH STATE[ KUKURUKU/ AFEMAI STATE], CALLS FOR STATE POLICE LG AUTONOMY, AND 50% DERIVATION FORMULA....

It is imperative to cognitize that the on going constitutional review makes imperative the issues of the geo-political spread on the Local Government and balance the former dysfunctional formula of LG creation which has marginalised Edo state and in particular Akoko Edo LGA which is the largest lga in Nigeria and Africa. While other LGA'S created in the 60's of the previous century have been divided into 4 or 5 LGA'S  the Akoko Edo has not been divided the the colonial rule their by marginalising the statutory allotment of the LG from the federated account as only one allotment and thereby staving the LGA of much needed funds for infrastructural and capital development. this inter alias begin to create more problems for the Edo state government who is saddled with the Herculean responsibility to move these LGA'S from the lean resources available .
Secondly we propose the creation of KUKURUKU STATE/ AFEMAI STATE OR EDO NORTH STATE- We call for the creation of EDO NORTH STATE/ AFEMAI/ KUKURUKU STATE- For over 50 years since the coming of the colonial govt that the areas of Edo North constituency/ region has been systematically marginalised in terms off state creation and lg creation. The town of Igarra and Auchi were provincial capitals in the colonial era having the same status as Asaba, Oshogbo,Akure, Katsina, Ilorin, Yola, etc as provincial capital but with the coming of the military rule in Sub Saharan Africa and Nigeria IGARRA AND AUCHI towns has become a shadow of what they used to be in the colonial days 60 years ago ...based on this we call for the creation of KUKURUKU STATE/ EDO NORTH STATE OR AFEMAI STATE .This will stop the marginalisation of the people of that area and will spread rapid social economic development of the areas.
On behalf of the peoples of Edo North we call for state police to be approved by the new Constitution addressed to adequately police the various coligating sections of the Nigerian federation.
We also call for increased funds for the oil producing states and resource control of up to 50 % derivation sharing formula.
We also call for a new policy thrust in Education, electricity generation and distribution should be decentralised etc.
We wish the constitutional review committee the best there be...

LONG LIVE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA
