Those behind the Igbo propaganda are well aware that the zoning structure, which is not a constitutional status but convinient political sharing fomula to short change the south, must now be revisited.

When Warri State leverages the influence of their daughter to secure their state, those who fail to offer the necessary cohesion for negotiation will have deceived their people.
