The senator representing Delta Central Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Senator Ede Dafinone, has described the renewed agitation for the creation of Anioma State from the current Delta State as a call for equity and progress.

This is even as Senator Joel-Onowakpo Thomas representing Delta South Senatorial District on October 24, 2024, lent his voice to the bill for the creation of Anioma state.

Joel-Onowakpo posited that the creation of Anioma state will birth a truly Delta state apart from resolving the imbalance of states in the South-East geo-political zone of Nigeria.

Senator Dafinone, while aligning with the agitation, noted that as a true son of Delta Central, the creation of Anioma state would bring about a “true Delta state” with state capital in Delta Central, thereby boosting regional development.

In a statement made available to journalists, he noted that the Urhobo nation, the largest ethnic group in Delta state, with over 10 million people and a strong presence across eight local government areas in Delta Central and parts of Delta South and Bayelsa State, this discussion is equally significant to them.

According to Senator Dafinone: “The renewed agitation for the creation of Anioma state from the current Delta state has sparked a meaningful dialogue about equity, progress, and the future structure of our federation.

“As a proud son of Delta Central, I have observed these developments with keen interest and believe this presents an opportunity to reflect on the vision for a “true Delta State.”

“I wholeheartedly support the aspiration of our Anioma brothers and sisters for state creation, a pursuit deeply rooted in the principles of fairness and regional development.

“For the Urhobo nation, the largest ethnic group in Delta state, with over 10 million people and a strong presence across eight local government areas in Delta Central and parts of Delta South and Bayelsa State, this discussion is equally significant.

“While the Urhobo nation, with its abundant human and material resources, stands firmly qualified for its state, we remain supportive of the Anioma cause.

“This solidarity underscores the unity and mutual respect that have characterized our co-existence with other ethnic groups in Delta State since its creation on August 27, 1991.

“The industrious and egalitarian spirit of the Urhobo people has fostered harmony and cooperation within the multi-ethnic fabric of Delta State.

“This shared history strengthens our collective desire for structures that ensure equitable development and representation.

“By advocating for a “true Delta State,” with its capital situated in Delta Central, we embrace a vision that honours our rich heritage while advancing the cause of inclusivity and progress for all ethnic groups in the region.”

He added, “I align myself with the renewed call for the creation of Anioma State and the broader idea of reimagining Delta State for the benefit of all its constituents.

“This is not merely about geography or demographics; it is a commitment to equity, sustainable development, and a future where every ethnic group has the opportunity to thrive. Together, we can support these aspirations while fostering unity and a shared sense of purpose.”
