The push for the creation of Anioma State in Nigeria is under renewed threat following Senator Ned Nwoko's unsuccessful bid to secure his re-election ticket in the recent All Progressives Congress (APC) primaries. Tonnie Oganah, the media director advocating for Anioma State, expressed concerns that without Nwoko's presence in the Senate, the aspirations for the new state could be significantly delayed. Nwoko, who previously won his Senate seat representing Delta North, lost to Ifeanyi Okowa, the former governor of Delta State, who switched to the APC amidst a crisis in the People's Democratic Party (PDP). The political landscape has sparked mixed reactions among Nigerians, with some questioning whether Nwoko's political fate should dictate the future of Anioma State. Critics argue that the state’s creation is a collective goal that should not hinge on one senator’s ambitions, emphasizing the need for a broader political strategy. Oganah has called on President Bola Tinubu to address the controversies surrounding the primaries to ensure justice and support the dream of Anioma State.
