What is the sense in creating more states when most of the existing one are economically unviable, civil service states? Rather than waste time on state creation, why not expend that effort and time on repealing and replacing the albatross of the 1999 constitution? That'll be one singular step that can really re-energise everyone in the country and get the country moving again.  Is this rocket science?
