Senator Ned Nwoko, representing Delta North Senatorial District, has called for unity among the Igbo race, stressing that collective efforts are essential to achieving the region’s developmental goals and ensuring equitable political representation within Nigeria.

Nwoko made the call as a distinguished guest at the 2024 Otu- Oka-Iwu Week, a major event that gathers political leaders, traditional rulers, and cultural figures to discuss crucial issues impacting the Igbo people.

The theme of this year’s week-long celebration, “Strengthening Igbo Unity: The Quest for the Creation of a New State in the South-East,” served as a platform to address regional and national challenges while also exploring ways to foster greater unity and development within the Igbo community.

Speaking at the event, Senator Nwoko, noted that only through solidarity can the Igbo people achieve their aspirations for socio-economic, and political progress.

Senator Nwoko’s remarks focused on the urgent need for the creation of a new state in the South-East.

He highlighted that the current political structure does not adequately represent the diverse interests and developmental needs of the South-East, which has long been underserved.

He called for a concerted effort to push for the establishment of a new state to ensure that the Igbo people receive the attention and resources they deserve to flourish.

Beyond the broader call for a new South-East state, Senator Nwoko also addressed the specific issue of Anioma State, emphasizing that its creation is vital for the people of Delta North.

He expressed firm belief that the creation of Anioma state would promote political equity, enhance the socio-economic opportunities of the Anioma people, and contribute to the overall growth of the region.

“The creation of Anioma State is not just about fulfilling a political agenda,” Senator Nwoko explained.

The Senator further reiterated that the push for the creation of Anioma State is in line with the ongoing efforts to strengthen the Igbo unity and give the region a more solid foundation for sustainable development.
