Anioma State Creation: Igbanke, Obazagbon Monarchs, Others Rally Behind Senator Ned Nwoko

The country home of Senator Ned Munir Nwoko in Idumuje-Ugboko has once again become a gathering place for solidarity visits, with various groups and dignitaries coming to show their support and appreciation for his work in the Senate. The lawmaker, who represents Delta North in the National Assembly, arrived at Asaba Airport on Saturday and has since welcomed numerous guests to Mount Ned, his residence, to discuss matters of shared interest and also to acknowledge his effective representation.

Among the notable guests who visited on Sunday, were His Royal Highness Dr. Isitor Julius, the King of Ottah-Igbanke, and His Royal Highness Evans Anthony, the King of Obazagbon Community. Both monarchs voiced strong support for the creation of Anioma State and shared their desire for their communities to be part of this new state.


In his address, HRH Dr. Isitor Julius, King of Ottah-Igbanke, delivered a powerful endorsement of the Anioma State movement. He remarked, “Anioma State will come and stay; it is a movement, and I say God will be behind you. All of us will be behind you. We, who are here and those of us at home, are solidly behind you. We are not kings who say one thing and then do another. Many of us are learned, we understand what freedom is, we know what slavery is. What our forefathers suffered, we will not suffer.

“We know there was a mistake in the past because of the ignorance of our fathers; some of them were not enlightened. But now, we thank God that we have moved around and gathered enough information and knowledge—we can read, we can write, and we understand what it means to fight for freedom. If someone like you has taken it upon yourself to champion this fight, the rest of us will stand solidly behind you and put our hands on your shoulder.”

“Igbanke people are ready. Our people are still expecting you because we are fully behind you”, he continued.

HRH Evans Anthony, King of Obazagbon Community, similarly pledged his community’s support, stating, “The traditional rulers in our area are solidly behind you.”

The Ugo Anioma group, a socio-cultural movement dedicated to the creation of Anioma State, also paid a courtesy visit to the Senator. During their meeting, the group reaffirmed their support and inquired about the progress of the legislative process to establish Anioma State, stressing the widespread commitment to this longstanding aspiration.
