Sen. Ned Nwoko (APC, Delta) has said that actualising an Anioma State is within reach, advising the Anioma people to ignore detractors.
Nwoko, representing Delta North Senatorial District and Chairman, Senate Committee on Reparations and Repatriation said this while speaking with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja, on Saturday.
According to him, at this defining moment in the political and developmental journey of Anioma land, it is crucial for the people to remain focused, united, and visionary.
“Detractors, those who thrive on division, misinformation, and personal agendas must not be given room to derail the collective aspirations of Anioma.
“For decades, Anioma people have yearned for their own state; a place that reflects their identity, heritage, and need for equitable development.
“Today, with stronger political will and rising national conversations around state creation, the possibility is closer than ever.
“Listening to those who say it can’t be done or who seek to sabotage this vision is a disservice to the years of struggle and advocacy by Anioma’s founding leaders.”
The lawmaker noted that development doesn’t come overnight, adding that clear signs of progress were already visible.
