Senator Nwoko Speaks On ‘Governorship Ambition’

Senator Ned Nwoko, representing the Delta North senatorial district, has refuted rumors about his supposed gubernatorial ambitions, emphasizing his focus on advocating for the creation of Anioma state.

He made his position explicitly clear at a significant Anioma stakeholders summit, which brought together participants from all nine local government areas in the senatorial district and was held in Asaba over the weekend.

Nwoko stressed that his support for the creation of Anioma State is driven by a strong commitment to the welfare and development of his constituents at the national level, not by any personal political ambitions.

He emphasized that his dedication is to the progress of the Anioma people and aims to clear up any misunderstandings about his motives in advocating for the creation of the state.

In an interview where he was questioned about whether his advocacy for state creation stemmed from a desire to become the first governor, he strongly denied this, asserting that the first governor of Anioma State should be from the Ndokwa nation—a region that, despite its significant oil production contributions, has historically been marginalized.

“My goal is to secure freedom for my people. The first governor of Anioma state should come from Ndokwa land. Despite being home to three oil-producing local government areas, the Ndokwa region remains neglected, with its environment suffering from severe degradation,” Senator Nwoko stated.

He emphasized the advantages of state creation by comparing it to the formation of Delta State from the former Bendel State, illustrating how statehood can spur development. He cited the transformation of Asaba from a small village into a thriving city after becoming the capital of Delta State as an example.

Senator Nwoko also highlighted the political benefits of creating Anioma State, such as increased representation in the Senate, House of Representatives, and state assembly.
