The Day Two of the Senate Zonal Public Hearing on the Review of 1999 Constitution for the Northeast in Maiduguri, Borno State started with a demand for creation of Savannah State, out of Borno.

Many speakers, including senators from the North East region, aligned themselves with the request.

The proposed Savannah State is Senator Ali Ndume’s constituency made up of 9 local government areas.

Ndume who led the pack of people clamouring for the new state out of Borno said Savannah is long overdue.

Former Senate President Ahmed Lawan and the Senate’s Chairman on Special Duties, Kaka Lawan, endorsed the proposal.
