Senator representing Delta North senatorial district, Prince Ned Nwoko, has assured leaders and stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress, APC, that the creation of Anioma State is effectively a done deal.
Speaking on Saturday at Idumuje-Ugboko, his country home in Aniocha Local Government Area, Nwoko revealed that all necessary steps had been taken in the Senate, adding that 75 senators are in support of the state’s creation.
”We are on course. The technical committee will be inaugurated in Asaba, to help me to work towards actualising the creation of Anioma state.
”If you were at Agbor during APC stakeholders gathering, you heard when the National Chairman of the APC, Alhaji Umar Ganduje said the creation of Anioma State is a done deal.
”We have moved from the committee stage of the process to public hearing coming up in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State. Thereafter, we will come back to the Senate for third reading of the bill for the creation of Anioma State,” the senator assured.
