The dream of Anioma State is no longer a distant hope—it is on the horizon, thanks to a well-researched, strategic, and viable approach led by Senator Prince Ned Munir Nwoko. While the House of Representatives has released a proposal for state creation through the long and tedious route, Anioma State is coming through the fast-track method of constitutional amendments.
Why This Approach Works
Rather than waiting years for a separate bill to navigate the complex legislative hurdles, Anioma State has been strategically positioned within the ongoing constitutional amendments process. This route:
Leverages existing national momentum for state creation and restructuring.
Fast-tracks legislative approval, requiring a two-thirds majority in the National Assembly and endorsement from at least 24 state legislatures.
Avoids unnecessary bureaucratic delays, making Anioma State a real possibility in the shortest time possible.
This is not just theory—it is a politically smart and well-executed strategy that makes Anioma State achievable.
The Senator’s Influence: A Game Changer
The influence that Distinguished Senator Prince Ned Munir Nwoko, representing Delta North Senatorial Zone, brought to bear as a key member of the Constitutional Review Committee was crucial to this progress. His deep understanding of legislative procedures, strategic thinking, and political goodwill helped position Anioma State within the broader constitutional amendment framework.
Prepare for the Public Hearing!
The next crucial step is the public hearing, where the voices of Anioma people will be heard. This is the time for every son and daughter of Anioma to stand up and make their case before the lawmakers. After the public hearing, we move towards the final stage—the referendum, where the people will officially approve Anioma State.
Senator Ned Nwoko’s Commitment to Anioma State
This progress would not be possible without Senator Ned Munir Nwoko’s relentless efforts. His ability to work peacefully and strategically among his colleagues in the Senate has strengthened the lobbying process. His decision to prioritize Anioma State over political ambitions is a testament to his dedication.
“I am not talking about a ticket for the now. Let’s get this state created first and give our people light, water, good roads, and every benefit of governance now.”
This is leadership in action. Anioma people, the time is now! Stay informed, educate others, and prepare to participate in the public hearing and referendum. Anioma State is within reach—let’s make history together!
