As efforts to amend the Constitution intensify in the National Assembly, there are indications that at least 85 Senators have thrown their support behind the clamor for the creation of Anioma State.
The support comes after Senator Ned Nwoko, representing Delta North Senatorial District, wrote a letter to each of the Senators of the 10th National Assembly, personally addressing them and seeking their endorsement.
Senator Nwoko is championing the creation of the new state in the interest of national development, justice, and federal balance.

In the letter, dated May 27, 2025, and titled “Anioma as Equity State,” Nwoko emphasized that creating Anioma State is a matter of “equity, fair representation, and justice,” not just political convenience.
He highlighted that the Southeast geopolitical zone currently has five states, while other zones have six or seven.
“Anioma State, to be carved out of Delta State, is a just and logical solution to this imbalance,” he asserted, noting the region’s deep cultural and historical ties to the Southeast.
He appealed to his colleagues to show “courage, vision, and a commitment to justice,” urging them to “be remembered as the Senate that brought balance to Nigeria’s state structure and healed a longstanding national wound.”
The proposal for Anioma State is a constitutional bill (Senate Bill 481) currently under legislative consideration.
