The Technical Committee on Anioma State Creation has formally endorsed Senator Ned Munir Nwoko for a second term in the Senate, urging constituents of Delta North Senatorial District to sustain the current legislative momentum by returning him to the National Assembly in the 2027 general elections.
In a statement signed by its Director-General, Ogbueshi Godfrey Odogwu, the Committee described the endorsement as a strategic and reasoned decision anchored on continuity, progress, and the historic advancement of the Anioma State creation process.
According to the Committee, the decades-long quest for the creation of Anioma State has traversed generations of advocacy, negotiation, and political engagement.
However, it noted that never in its history has the aspiration been as close to constitutional realisation as it is today.
The Committee credited this progress to deliberate legislative engagement and sustained political will, emphasizing that Senator Nwoko has institutionalised the Anioma cause at the highest legislative level with precision and consistency.
Representing Delta North Senatorial District in the Nigerian Senate, Senator Nwoko was commended for advancing the state creation proposal through the constitutional amendment pathway, describing the effort as a watershed moment in the history of the Anioma struggle.
Beyond the state creation agenda, the Committee highlighted the Senator’s broad legislative footprint, citing his interventions in constitutional reform, fiscal federalism, youth empowerment, healthcare access, security restructuring, diaspora inclusion, agricultural modernisation, mining reform, social security architecture, and public sector accountability.
Within Delta North, the Committee noted that his representation has translated into measurable developmental initiatives across the nine local government areas.
These include water supply schemes, irrigation systems, rural road projects, school renovations, medical outreaches, empowerment programmes, solar electrification initiatives, and agricultural mechanisation support.
The Committee stressed that constitutional alteration is a rigorous and delicate process requiring persistence, cross-regional consensus building, negotiation skills, and institutional memory.
It warned that discontinuity at this critical phase could undermine years of painstaking progress toward the realisation of Anioma State.
“Our endorsement is anchored on three core imperatives,” the statement read.
“Continuity of the Anioma State creation process, consolidation of developmental interventions across Delta North, and sustained legislative activism on national restructuring and socio-economic reform.”
Describing Senator Nwoko as a lawmaker with intellectual depth, political stamina, and legislative audacity, the Committee maintained that Delta North cannot afford regression at a time that demands acceleration.
The Committee therefore called on stakeholders across Anioma land and the good people of Delta North to support Senator Ned Munir Nwoko’s second term bid in 2027, emphasizing that the moment is strategic and the mandate must be sustained.
