Ned Nwoko Supports Creation of Anioma State as National Assembly Approves New State
Nigerian Senator Ned Nwoko has reignited calls for the creation of Anioma State, a long-standing demand rooted in the aspirations of the Anioma people in Northern Nigeria. The National Assembly has approved the creation of another state, prompting Nwoko to share a post with a map of Anioma State.
The movement for Anioma State, led by figures like Sylvester Mony and inspired by historical and cultural significance, seeks to reflect the unique cultural identity of the Anioma people, who are of Igbo descent. Dr. Dennis Osadebe, a revered poet and key figure in the Anioma State movement, is recognized for his contributions to the cause.
Nwoko's involvement in advocating for Anioma State is seen as a political move to address deep-rooted issues of marginalization and political exclusion in the region.
