The South East geopolitical zone in Nigeria has been short-changed with five ministerial slots, causing dissatisfaction among stakeholders like Ohanaeze Ndigbo and Chief Emmanuel Iwuanyanwu. The Pan socio-cultural organization has called for justice and fairness in state creation, stating that the region is in a difficult position politically, economically, and socially. The South-East is denied federal revenue allocation and resource distributions based on states. The Pan socio-cultural organization appeals to President Tinubu to restore justice, equity, and fairness in Nigeria, but has been deaf to the appeals and requests from stakeholders. This action may have been a confirmation of the ruling party's position in the South East geopolitical zone, which has not significantly changed in the previous eight years of President Muhammadu Buhari's administration.
