As the Federal Government proposes Ruga settlements in various states of the country for herders, the youth wing of Ohanaeze Ndigbo has submitted a proposal for a draft bill for the federation of South East states of Abia, Anambra , Ebonyi, Imo and Enugu.

The National President of the group, Mr. Arthur Obiora said the draft bill has been sent to all state Houses of Assembly in the East for deliberation and passage.

The group urged Igbos in Delta and Rivers who wished to join the federation, to join.

Obiora noted that in view of the socio-political and structural conflicts in Nigeria, it has become necessary for Nigeria to go back to regional system with a level of autonomy for the federating regions.
