Anioma Leaders Reject Ned Nwoko's Proposed State in South East, Citing Historical Betrayal
Anioma leaders strongly oppose Senator Ned Nwoko's bill seeking to create Anioma State as the sixth state in the South East of Nigeria. They argue that the move would distort historical facts and undermine the distinct identity and trajectory of the Anioma people.
The community emphasizes its historical alignment with the South South region and rejects the argument that Anioma is part of the Igbo group. Key figures like Obi Nosike Ikpo and Dennis Osadebe have championed Anioma statehood.
The community also stresses its cultural diversity and cautions against merging with the South East group.
