In the meantime, the Senate has urged the general public to discredit unverified social media claims that the Senate Committee on Constitution Review had suggested creating new states.

Senator Abdul Ningi expressed concern over the rumored creation of widespread social media accounts, so Godswill Akpabio, the Senate’s president, provided this clarification.

No state was established by the Senate, according to Senator Akpabio, despite some communities holding meetings to discuss how to create their alleged new states.
