Honourable Tajudeen Abass, Speaker of Nigeria’s House of Representatives, revealed in a new video that Oyo State has been officially split into two, making the announcement to the general public.
The constitutional amendment bill, sponsored by Akeem Adeyemi (APC, Oyo) and six others, seeks to create a new Oyo State, with Oyo town as its capital.
Additionally, the bill proposes renaming the remaining part of the current Oyo State as Ibadan State, with Ibadan City serving as its capital.
However, at the last hearing in the House of Representatives, people who voted for Oyo State to split were more than those that do not want to split and by extension, the speaking hit the nail on the head meaning that the state should be split into two as mentioned earlier.
This development has sparked reactions from people in other regions, such as Offa in Kwara and Ijebu in Ogun State, who are now voicing their demands for the creation of their own states as well.
