Senate spokesman, Ajibola Basiru in a statement on Sunday said the report is a misunderstanding of the decision reached by the Senate Committee on the Review of the 1999 constitution.
The Senate has debunked reports that the lawmakers have proposed the creation of 20 more states, saying the upper chamber was “grossly” misrepresented.”
“The report is a gross misrepresentation of the decision of the committee on the request for creation of more states,” the statement maintained. “In view of the above, the Senate Committee is not in a position to propose creation of any state as reported.
