Former Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa has weighed in on the renewed push for the creation of Anioma State. He spoke on Wednesday during a consultation meeting with party stakeholders in Oshimili South Local Government Area, an engagement that also forms part of his political outreach ahead of a possible Senate bid.

At the meeting, Okowa reaffirmed his support for the creation of Anioma State but stressed that the process must reflect the collective will of the people across the nine local government areas of Delta North. While aligning with the broader aspiration, he subtly questioned the approach and motives of Ned Nwoko, who has recently taken a leading role in championing the proposal.

Okowa warned against turning the issue into a political tool, emphasizing that the legitimacy of the demand should come from genuine grassroots consensus rather than individual ambition.

The agitation for Anioma State—strongly backed by Nwoko—stems from longstanding demands by people of Delta North seeking greater administrative autonomy and fairer representation within Nigeria’s federal structure. Supporters argue that a new state would address perceived marginalization, enhance governance, and drive development in the region.

Very mischievous human being called Okowa..

Like I have said before..


The useless empty headed Okowa is playing with our intelligence.. The man is totally against state creation, but he doesn’t want to say it with his full chest, hence his latest geo political zone sound he’s singing.. Unfortunately the ship has left him long time ago, including his gullible followers/supporters..

He knows that it’s impossible for Anioma to be created and remain in SS.. The options on the table are , Anioma state created and ceded to south East, or it will never be created ever again..
The state creation slot belongs to South East, not South south region. Currently the South East has the yam and the knife as it stands..

South south doesn’t have a slot at all.. If another slot comes to South South in the future. ,Ijaws, Eket and other ethnic groups agitating for state creation in South South will never ever give it to Anioma because they would remind us that our time is gone..


Before people jump into this issue, understand the politics going on in South South region..

Okowa knows he would be reduced to political nothingness when Anioma emerges that’s why he’s running halter skelter

This Anioma fight for statehood isn't going to be easy as there are many people who're against it. The plan to make it an Igbo thing will be strongly resisted.

Okowa is a slowpoke full stop.

This same idiot who claimed he is Igbo when he was vice presidential candidate to Atiku Abubakar in PDP.

The same political hooligan will still come back someday and claim he's from Yoruba.

Okowa is a big fool.

If Anioma is not an Igbo thing what is it ?

Those against it are in minority, know this and know peace..

Start from the numbers of traditional rulers in favour or against it and do the comparison yourself

Who owns the physical land itself?

If you migrated to my land as a stranger many many years ago, and grew to become many and want my land as a state for yourself...e get as e go be for my body and you should understand my reluctance.

But if you have always been on the land and are indigenous to it, and it was the modern partition of states that put your land and your people in a state where I am a majority....then it is a different ball game and you deserve your state.

Anyone that knows the history of the land and it's people's should enlighten us.

If you read your constitution and see what creation of state demands then you will know that these two men are playing politics of hope on their people.
Creation of states in Nigeria requires so many things, is one of the most difficult part of the constitution to touch.

Serves some of you right .

When some of us tell you guys to tame your emotions on Anioma people and get an additional SE star within the SE, you were calling others dividers.

A na-agwa ufodi n'ime any okwu, unu adighi anu

Leave them to dey play.. Except they want to Inec the constitution to favour them,like they always do

When we told them that Ned is wasting their time, they refusd to listen, they were blinded by land grabbing, majority of delta north doesn't subscribe to the idea of lomping them to the south east, these people have history, that they speak languages that have some semblance with igbo does not make them igbos, even in ukwuani, it is a sacrilege to call someone igbo, it is an abomination because it means slave, the south east should create a state from the existing five states they have, stop dragging people that has no root with you, learn from the yorubas, they are not dragging the itshekiris

Who is Okowa to decide for anioma people?
Anioma leaders have said they are Igbos!
Anioma people have said they are Igbos!

Anyone who doesn’t like it should get lost!

Okowa should rest

State creation slot is not for SS.

He will lose the primaries and Anioma State will still be created.

Yorubas (the Olukumis / Aniochas) are inside Anioma o.

Just in case some of una no know o.

Igbo or not na una sabi. The Okowa claimed Anioma was an Igbo. I don't blame una na some Igbos wey get una time. When it's time for Igbo, some of them will remember that they're Igbo just like Amechi did. Now he's ( Okowa) looking for senatorial position, he now remembers that it's part of south south. Like I said earlier, I no blame una. Na some gullible Igbo wey give una listening ear. Igbo need to start thinking like I.ran No trust anyone.

They both do not have the interest of the people at heart.

Wetin you dey talk bro, you mean anioma doesn't belong Anioma people or what?

Erm… Isn’t Okowa supposed to be in jail for embezzlement and stealing of state funds?

So, he joins APC and all his crimes get swept under the rug.

Issokay.

Their leaders have dicided!
Their people have decided!
I am Igbo!
Anioma is Igbo!
And majority will always win,they have seen they have no other place to go!

All these ex governors are just SHAMELESS ROGUES.
After rulling a whole state for 8 years, you'll still relegate yourself for just one small part

I'll always prefer the Efik, Ibibios and some others that these "Igbos when it is convenient" tribes in south-south

@nefort

As if there's any ethnic group called South South

Nwoko should go and relax. Anioma will come but it will never be through Alhaji Ned. The only thing he has done in Delta North is to pursue yellow women that are young enough to be his granddaughters up and down like the irresponsible old papa he is. The wrinkled turtle was even fighting to become the first governor.

Slippy:
I'll always prefer and chosse the Efik, Ibibios and some south-south tribes that this All this conveninet Igbos

Why choose? You don’t have your own tribe?
Igbo is Igbo,it’s either you are Igbo or you not,there is nothing to be proud or ashamed of,wherever you belong to or come from!

Thank you so much Governor Okowa,you are absolutely right, Anioma must reside in South South with the capital at Asaba

Britain is the architect of all the confusion and chaos in the contraption called nigeria.

Look at the way they disorganised people who were living in peace before they came, from north to south. They just jampack people of different values together like sadine and set brothers against brothers and called everybody nigeria.


How can nigeria ever progress?

Someone please tell us how?

Na wa.

God forbid!

Tell dem .. they should stop looking for land to steal

Pls go to your bed.you are tired that is why you dey yarn hit

Lets face facts people fear the igbos.
Imagine the Igbos who were given just £20 after the WAR.
Schools ravaged.

Now Igbos run the economy.
Igbos have the highest cutoff marks to unity schools.

Imagine how Igbos will be on their own

We are Igbos PERIOD.
Anyone who does not like it should jump into the river niger

Igbos Ekiti are in Ekiti so you know, Yoruba don’t leave SW and start to appear in Delta Igbo, olukimis are tiny migrants labourers from Owo in Ondo state, they have been Igbonized in Anioma for centuries.
