Senator Joel-Onowakpo Thomas, representing Delta South Senatorial District, has thrown his full support behind the proposed bill for the creation of Anioma State, stating that it will pave the way for a truly unified Delta State. The bill, currently championed by Senator Ned Nwoko, is part of the ongoing constitutional amendment process aimed at addressing state imbalances within the South-East geopolitical zone.
Taking to his official X (formerly Twitter) handle on Thursday, Senator Joel-Onowakpo expressed his firm belief that Anioma State’s creation will not only bring political equilibrium to the South-East but also lead to the formation of a more cohesive Delta State. According to the senator, the new state’s establishment will provide a solution to longstanding regional disparities, offering a central headquarters that is widely acceptable to all.
