The application, which drew commendation, applause and cheers from members of the Committee including the Deputy Senate President has generated even greater approval from notable sons and daughters from Delta State and beyond, including Professor Sam Oyovbaire, who, described the move as an “idea whose time has come”

If this move sails through, the new Anioma State will encompass Aniocha North, Aniocha South, Ika North East, Ika South, Ndokwa East, Ndokwa West, Oshimili North, South and Ukwuani LGAs, the nine Local Government Areas that currently make up Delta North Senatorial District.

Meanwhile, a statement from an aide to Nwaoboshi said “the emergence of Anioma State will give the good and peace-loving people of the region a proper sense of belonging in the affairs of the central government and the governance of Nigeria.

“The realization of Anioma State will also bring out the very best of the region’s enormous human and natural resources which exists in abundance.

“Once again, in conformity with history, Distinguished Senator Peter Nwaoboshi is leading the struggle for the creation of Anioma State from the national front.

“Our principal is very familiar with this particular turf, having left an indelible mark in the sands of time over the Anioma cause and struggle in the recent past.”

“Yes, Anioma State is coming soon,” the statement added.
