ANIOMA STATE IS A HISTORICAL IMPERATIVE, NOT A POLITICAL CONVENIENCE
For almost a century, the Anioma people have pursued the legitimate aspiration of statehood. This is not a new campaign. It is a historic struggle built on the sacrifices of our founding fathers, sustained by generations of visionary leaders, and driven by the collective desire for justice, equity and fair representation.
Today, that dream stands closer to realisation than at any other time in our history.
The Technical Committee on the Creation of Anioma State has reaffirmed what we have consistently maintained: the constitutional process is on course. From the sponsorship of the Bill to the successful Public Hearing, every critical milestone has been pursued with diligence, transparency and unwavering commitment.
Anioma State is not about advancing personal ambition. It is about correcting a long-standing structural imbalance, expanding opportunities for our people, deepening democratic representation and laying the foundation for accelerated economic development.
I welcome the committee’s call on all political leaders, traditional rulers, stakeholders and aspirants to place the collective interest of Anioma above individual aspirations. History will remember those who stood for unity and justice, not those who allowed personal interests to stand in the way of progress.
The creation of Anioma State is a cause that transcends politics. It is a national imperative rooted in fairness, constitutional order and the aspirations of our people.
I remain resolute in my commitment to this historic mission. By the grace of God, with the continued support of our people and the cooperation of all stakeholders, we shall see the birth of Anioma State.
Senator Prince Ned Nwoko
