Senator Peter Nwaoboshi, SPON, representing Delta North Senatorial District, has commended the Asagba of ASABA, Asagba (Prof) Chike Edozien, CFR, for condemning what he said was “the attempt by some political jobbers to proliferate groups aimed at whittling down the relevance of highly Successful ANIOMA CONGRESS which has for ages remained the mouthpiece of the entire nation.”
The lawmaker said this in a press statement on Sunday he personally signed.

According to him, “under the umbrella of all traditional rulers of DELTA NORTH, the ANIOMA CONGRESS under the leadership of Asagba of ASABA have remained apolitical whilst speaking truth to power and protecting the interest of ANIOMA people generally.”
He continued: “This is to wholeheartedly endorse the position of the Asagba of ASABA condemning any attempt to weaken the mouthpiece of Anioma people by establishing another competing organ. As the Senator representing the Anioma nation, I am opposed to the establishment of any other movement and warn that any attempt to proceed on that tangent for political reasons must be resisted by all well-meaning citizens of the Anioma Kingdom.”
“I will in due course pay a courtesy call on the Anioma kingdom’s traditional rulers to commend them for standing strong in the face of political overtures detrimental to the well-being of the Anioma people,” the statement added.
