Gov. Hope Uzodimma’s Key Demands at Constitution Review Public Hearing
— Governor-General of Ndi Igbo in Action
By Ambrose Nwaogwugwu | July 20, 2025.
At the public hearing in Owerri, Governor Hope Uzodimma made bold, patriotic demands to correct historical injustices and strengthen national unity. His key advocacies include:
1. Creation of more South East states — at least two, including Anim State, to end underrepresentation.
2. Rotational Presidency — constitutionally rotate presidency among the six geopolitical zones.
3. Indigeneship by birth or 10-year residency — to promote inclusion and national unity.
4. State Police — decentralize policing for better grassroots security.
5. Peaceful engagement — urged Ndi Igbo to push their demands through dialogue, not agitation.
With these strong positions, Gov. Uzodimma once again proves himself the Governor-General of Ndi Igbo, boldly speaking truth to power.
