Ned Nwoko stated this during an interview on Channels TV’s Politics Today.

As reported by Daily Trust, he also urged the federal government led by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to prohibit the importation of refined products, saying the government must protect local refineries.

Nwoko noted that his call for the creation of one more state in the South East is workable.

He said the region has only five states, thereby contributing to the clamour by the people.

Nwoko said:

“It’s very simple. Before I go to the public with this to say the state is owing hundreds of billions of naira and was able to pay less than about N200 billion out of it. It is in the public and everybody knows.

“His (the governor’s) media people have gone out to say this anyway that the state has a huge debt profile and that they are paying so much, but that is not my problem because every government can borrow if they have such revenue every month from the federation account and so much goes to the servicing of this loan.
