The Anioma State creation Media Director, Mr Tonnie Oganah, on Thursday, warned that the hopes and aspirations of having Anioma State may be dashed if Senator Ned Nwoko’s re-election is threatened.
Oganah, in a statement, expressed worry that proposed creation of the new state may be delayed due to divisive nature of unpatriotic politics.
He said: “The people of Delta state’s nine local government areas of Anioma are about to have their hopes and aspirations buried forever if Senator Ned Nwoko’s assured re-election is threatened mid-stream just as the 70 year quest for state hood is about to be consigned to the dust bin of history due to the selfish activity of Ned’s opponents. No person in the history of Anioma has ever sacrificed half as much of his time and personal resources into liberating his people. His brother senators have serially decorated him for his bills and seminal contributions to the senate. That the state creation has been delayed is due to the divisive nature of the unpatriotic politics of the opponents of the state creation guaranteed to empower the people as well as liberate them.
