Brother, this is a different ball fame entirely. Igalas are not settlers in Anambra state. Theyvhave been marginalised for a long time in Anambra, Delta, Enugu and Edo state. Those states including Anambra state are their ancestral hones. They have there at precolonial period. They were there hundreds of years before Nigeria was birthed. Even the name Anambra was was derived from Igala language called 'Oma Obala' river. Elders in Anambra state know this.

Angelanest:
The Anambra State Governor, His Excellency Dr. Willie M. Obiano has made history by appointing into office Bonaventure Enemali the first honorable commissioner of Igala origin and extraction. 33-year-old Hon. Bonaventure Enemali, the second youngest in the cabinet of the Youth and Sports ministry is from the Igala speaking denomination in Anambra East Local Government Area.

The newly appointed Exco Members were earlier today inaugurated at the Exco Chamber by Governor Willie Obiano at the Government House, Awka followed immediately by the first Exco Meeting.

The business of the day started with the governor honouring outgoing exco members who served with him in his first tenure by publicly appreciating them and encouraging them with medals of honour.

The newly confirmed members were later inaugurated starting with the commissioners and then the Special Advisers.

From the 19 Commissioners inaugurated today, 8 made it from the first tenure of Governor Willie Obiano.

Pls keep quiet and stop exhibiting ignooorance in public.
Where are the igalas in delta, enugu, edo?
Even the ones in anambra are just 1% of Anambra population just as there are small Igbo indigenous communities in benue,
Google Umuezeokeofia people.

Marginalizing who?
The same way the aworis are marginalized and have not produced a Lagos State governor before?

Segun, Go and focus on your people in ilorin who are under a Fulani emir and leave Igbo matter alone

He is an Anambra man simple.

The news should have being that a man from a minority tribe in Anambra was appointed a commissioner.

While the Governor deserves an applause for this, I am not exactly sure how this qualifies as history.

Hopefully, Edo State can do the same for the Minorities like the Ijaws in Gelegele,and Bayelsa the same for the Urhobo's from Bayelsa State too.

Even the tiny igala in anambra has been igbonised they speak Igbo there ....

There are Igalas in Anambra, Enugu, Delta, and Edo. I have been to those areas for work. In Anambra they are in; Nzam, Innoma, Odekpe etc. In Enugu, I have only being Iga in Uzo-uwani LGA of ENS they are the natives. In Delta, u find them within the Ila axis, and in Edo; oloshi. They are at the boundaries of those four states, though those places are very remote,except Nzam which is LGA headquarters of Anambra west.
