The political atmosphere in Delta State surged on Sunday with renewed momentum as leaders and stakeholders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) gathered to welcome the party’s National Chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje, during his official visit to the state.
The event, which marked the formal reception of members of the Delta Unity Group from Ika Federal Constituency into the APC, was attended by notable APC chieftains from Delta and Edo States. Among them was Senator Prince Ned Munir Nwoko, Senator representing Delta North Senatorial District, who played a prominent role at the event and described the occasion as “a defining moment for Delta politics and for the Anioma people.”
Addressing the enthusiastic APC supporters, stakeholders and other interest groups, National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress, Dr. Ganduje said the agitation for the creation of Animals state was a done deal.
Making the historic declaration, Ganduje stated unequivocally in a statement by the media Consultant to Senator Ned Nwoko, Michael Ogar that “the creation of Anioma State is a done deal.”
The APC National Chairman affirmed that the rulling party is fully aligned with the long-standing aspiration for Anioma State and assured the gathering of the support of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, APC governors, the National Assembly, and the wider leadership of the party.
“The creation of Anioma State is not just an aspiration, it is a commitment that reflects equity, justice, and the unity of our nation,” Ganduje stated.
According to the statement, Senator Nwoko, a vocal advocate for the creation of Anioma State, welcomed and received the National chairman’s declaration as a major milestone in the pursuit of fairness and regional balance.
“This is the clearest signal that the dream of Anioma State is not only alive but is now anchored at the very heart of national policymaking. Our people deserve inclusion, and this is the pathway to lasting justice and balance in the Nigerian federation”, senator Nwoko declared.
The statement added that high-profile gathering reflected the growing strength of the APC in Delta State, particularly in Delta North, and signals a powerful alignment of grassroots support and national leadership in favour of state creation and political restructuring.
“As the 2025 political landscape continues to evolve, the Anioma cause appears closer than ever to becoming a reality”, the statement declared
