From the foregoing four constitutional tests for the creation of a new State, there should be no difficulty in concluding that the public declaration by Osoba that he will create Ijebu State is unknown to the Constitution.
He does not have the power to, and he does not have the influence to convince a simple majority of all the States in Nigeria as required by Section 8 (1)(c) of the 1999 constitution that the creation of Ijebu state is necessary.
On behalf of the people of Ogun state and the NCP, I call on Governor Olusegun Osoba to be concerned more about the real problems of water, health, roads, housing, food, education, etc. afflicting our people rather than being pre-occupied with how to deceive the people with vote-catching empty and illusory promises.
