    The Anioma Council of Chiefs on Tuesday threw their weight behind the agitation for the creation of Anioma State out of the present Delta State, saying it would correct and address several agitations in the country.

    They argued that location of the geopolitical zone of the proposed state does not matter to them.

    Addressing the people shortly after its meeting held at the residence of Ndokwa Nation’s chairman, Chief Matthew Udi, the Ezeudo 1 of Abbi, the monarchs said the creation of Anioma State being championed by Senator Ned Nwoko, meant a lot to them.

    The council, in a statement made available to our correspondent in Abuja, however resolved to write an open letter to all relevant offices for Anioma State creation and begin awareness campaign, among other steps necessary to realize their set objective.

    According to the traditional rulers, “every state is independent regardless of geopolitical zone and as such supports the creation of Anioma State even if it is going to be in Yoruba geopolitical zone”, adding that “all Anioma people want now is a state.”

    The monarchs, who reaffirmed the support of Anioma people witnessed during the stakeholders summit held in Asaba, hosted by Senator Ned Nwoko also reinstated their resolve to pray for the sustainability of the lawmaker’s disposition to Anioma State creation.

    “We have to weigh the loss and gains, the gains are a million times more than, so we go for Anioma State creation because of its gain and freedom it gives us as a people.

    “The joy of having our own governor, deputy governor, SSG, minister, Senators, House of Reps, commissioners, more LGAs, federal opportunities and many more, are too important to do away with.

    “Even if we’re old our children will not be old. they will benefit from our today’s struggles. so we support Anioma State creation,” they stated.
