The creation of Anioma State with Asaba as its capital, isn’t a tone seeking political ambition, it’s a vision for a brighter, more prosperous future for all of us.
Senator Ned Munir Nwoko representing Delta North Senatorial District in the Green Chamber of the National Assembly made this submission in an open letter to Anioma natives in general.
He said the demand for creation of Anioma State is incontestably the oldest agitation in the history of Nigeria which started in the 1950s by the people of Aboh and Asaba divisions in the Western indigenous House of Assembly. It’s a struggle that has gauged decades and one that’s near than ever to achieving it.
According to Senator Nwoko “The creation of Anioma State isn’t just a political thing; it’s a deeply collaborative charge that I’ve been committed to for numerous times.
