Federal lawmaker, representing Delta North Senatorial District, Senator Ned Nwoko has debunked the rumour making the rounds that he is nursing an ambition to become the governor of Delta State.

Nwoko, speaking during the Anioma stakeholders summit at the weekend in Asaba said:

“My support for the creation of Anioma State stems from a deep commitment to the welfare and progress of my constituents at the national level.”

“My goal is to secure freedom for my people. The first governor of Anioma state should come from Ndokwa land. Despite being home to three oil-producing local government areas, the Ndokwa region remains neglected, with its environment suffering from severe degradation.”

“The benefits of state creation, from the establishment of Delta state from the former Bendel State, statehood can drive development, as evidenced by Asaba’s transformation from a small village to a thriving city once it became the capital of Delta state.”

“The political advantages of creating Anioma state, including increased representation in the Senate, House of Representatives and state assembly.”
