As the clarion call and more strident voices continue to rise in support and campaign for the creation of Anioma State nationwide, 79 senators of the 10th National Assembly have endorsed the initiative by appending their signatures in support of the state’s creation.

Following this latest development, there are strong indications that more senators are set to join in the coming weeks.

Meanwhile, traditional rulers from the South East have also declared their support for the creation of Anioma State, thus further solidifying the growing national consensus in that regard.

Reports from the South East indicated that the signatures of the Senators are being obtained sequel to the letter written and personally addressed to each of the senators of the 10th National Assembly by Sen. Ned Nwoko, representing Delta North Senatorial District in the Senate.

Senator Nwoko, it was gathered, is championing the course for the creation of the new state in the interest of national development, justice, and federal balance.

In the letter dated May 27, 2025, and addressed to the Senate President and members of the Senate, and obtained by newsmen, Nwoko sought for their endorsement and support for the creation of Anioma State- a constitutional proposal captured under the Senate Bill 481, currently undergoing legislative consideration as part of the ongoing constitutional amendment process.

The letter highlighted Senator Nwoko challenging his colleagues to rise to the occasion with courage, vision, and a commitment to justice.

“Let us be remembered as the Senate that brought balance to Nigeria’s state structure and healed a longstanding national wound,” the Senator appealed.

In the letter titled “Anioma as Equity State,” Nwoko further emphasised that the creation of the state was not merely about redrawing boundaries or political convenience, but a matter of equity, fair representation, and justice. He pointed out that the Southeast currently has five states, while other geopolitical zones have six or seven states.

“Anioma State, to be carved out of Delta State, is a just and logical solution to this imbalance,” he asserted, describing Anioma as a region with deep cultural and historical ties to the Southeast.

“Its creation will not only bring balance to Nigeria’s geopolitical structure but also promote national unity by addressing a longstanding grievance of the Igbo nation,” he insisted.

While taking a cue from Nwoko’s latest move, the Ndigbo Progressive Traditional Rulers Forum has also thrown its full weight behind the campaign via a letter dated May 15, 2025, signed by HRM EzeNnamdiOfoegbu (OrokoAbia), Diawa I of Umudiawu Ancient Kingdom, Chairman of the Forum, and HRM Igwe Sunny Orah, Secretary, wherein the traditional rulers praised Senator Nwoko for his leadership and pledged their unwavering support.

The NPTRF letter, which copy newsmen equally obtained reads in parts: “Your vision, passion, and courage in championing this noble cause resonate deeply with our mission as traditional rulers to uphold unity and fairness among all Igbo people.

“We are proud to identify with you in this historic endeavour and formally declare our support for the creation of Anioma State.

“Our Forum is committed to adding our royal voice and influence to this just cause and collaborating with you in every constructive way possible,” it declared.
