The senator representing Delta Central, Ede Dafinone, has justified the renewed agitation for creating Anioma State from the present Delta State saying, “It is a call for equity and progress”.

Dafinone, while speaking with journalists in Ughelli on Monday, said he aligned with the agitation as “it is a pursuit deeply rooted in the principles of fairness and regional development.”

He added, “The creation of Anioma State from this current state would bring about a true Delta State with state capital in Delta Central thereby boosting regional development. For the Urhobo nation, the largest ethnic group in Delta State with over 10 million people and a strong presence across eight Local Government Areas in Delta Central and parts of Delta South and Bayelsa State, this discussion is equally significant to them

“The renewed agitation for the creation of Anioma State from the current Delta State has sparked a meaningful dialogue about equity, progress and the future structure of our federation. As a proud son of Delta Central, I have observed these developments with keen interest and believe this presents an opportunity to reflect on the vision for a true Delta State.


“I wholeheartedly support the aspiration of our Anioma brothers and sisters for state creation, a pursuit deeply rooted in the principles of fairness and regional development. “For the Urhobo nation, the largest ethnic group in Delta State, with over 10 million people and a strong presence across eight Local Government Areas in Delta Central and parts of Delta South and Bayelsa State, this discussion is equally significant.

“While the Urhobo nation, with its abundant human and material resources, stands firmly qualified for its state, we remain supportive of the Anioma cause. This solidarity underscores the unity and mutual respect that have characterized our coexistence with other ethnic groups in Delta State since its creation on August 27, 1991.”

Dafinone added, “The industrious and egalitarian spirit of the Urhobo people has fostered harmony and cooperation within the multi-ethnic fabric of Delta State. This shared history strengthens our collective desire for structures that ensure equitable development and representation.

“By advocating for a “true Delta State” with its capital situated in Delta Central, we embrace a vision that honours our rich heritage while advancing the cause of inclusivity and progress for all ethnic groups in the region.

“I align myself with the renewed call for the creation of Anioma State and the broader idea of reimagining Delta State for the benefit of all its constituents. This is not merely about geography or demographics; it is a commitment to equity, sustainable development, and a future where every ethnic group has the opportunity to thrive. Together, we can support these aspirations while fostering unity and a shared sense of purpose.”

If urhobo in delta has the population of 10 million then what's the population of the entire delta state?

I support the Senator.

Let Delta north carry their ingratitude with them and go and join the SE.

After all, no more Delta central and south resources will be wasted carrying those dead weights .

They can enjoy having Regina Daniels as their first lady.

God bless this Senator.

He has said it all.

Lumping Anioma with Delta and making Asaba the capital was the greatest evil ever .

why you come dey vex?

Anioma is an excellent idea.

Won’t that further increase the sit-at-home-on-Mondays states?

Otherwise, what would the state creation bring to the table - aside ego.

We are not ready for this discussion Sir.


We are always good in manufacturing data from our nyash.

Meanwhile Anioma will complete the South East to six states. Its a welcome development for our Igbo brothers across rhe naija to join their ụmụnna!

lending support while crying. That's strange. Hope you're aware Urhobo, itshekiri and Ijaw are scared of staying in one state deep down.

Vex?

I even proposed here for the carving out of Anioma state long before Regina Daniel's husband floated the motion on the senate floor.

I want this to happen yesterday.

Kindly name the resources that you have that. DELTA NORTH doesn't have.

Mineral or human? Please name it

People just sit on their closets and churn out figures in Nigeria, including those working for NBS. Nobody asks anyone their tribe during census in Nigeria. That's one piece of information that those who sustain this dysfunctional entity have been too scared to determine and divulge.

...are...resources...

True Delta state my foot! Still nursing your wound of failing to secure the capital of the state. At any opportunity the Urhobo get, they want to take a swipe against Delta North. The state capital that they lost is still hurting to the bone marrow. Sore losers

It would unite igbod across the Niger

Crying for losing dead weight?

Delta South and Central is where the money is.

Even in the old Midwest and later Bendel state, the current Delta north had always been the poorest and most ingratitude province. They even connived with Biafran orcs to invade and occupy the then Midwest under the Enugu puppet Okonkwo stooge government that declared Republic of Benin.

They are not needed in anyway. If not for Marriam Babangida, will that backwater Asaba have become capital of Delta state on its creation?

Well, my senator has said it all and has said he is in total support of Anioma state creation not out of altrustic reasons for Anioma people but rather to drop dead weight .

All these creation of states, The small money you have will be used for funding the lifestyles and overheads (aka convoys and security votes) of more governors. Any citizen looking for a new state does not like his people.

Once upon a time we had only 3 sub governments in Ibadan, kaduna and Enugu. There was enough money left for the people. When you hear of the development of those days it is because all the money was not taken up in admin overhead. The more you create states, the poorer the states become. The more your citizens migrate to Abuja or Lagos.

We had 3 premiers and their cabinets. Today we find 36 governors and their cabinets and some want to add more?

Anyway state creation is dead on arrival. To create a state in SS, SE will demand their own or they won’t vote for it, for that to happen SW will say kilode? We too we want Ibadan state or Ijebu state. To get the North to approve 4 new southern states, they will demand 6 states. You see where this is going? Dead on arrival!

Make e no be like say we no fight for state when we dey senate! They all know it is dead on arrival!

no. We urhobos don't support it cos no landmark boundary in Delta state, especially between central and north. The tribes are mixed up. Urhobos dey abbi and ukwuanis full orogun as indigenes. Besides we don't want any link at all with ipob. Regina Daniel will become firstladyonly in her dream in 2039, when it will be next turn of Delta north to produce governor. Ned will be 86 years by then. River Niger separates south from east forever. Ukwuanis, ndokwa, and Ika no wan even take ear hear say them be igbo, ipob. Even isele uku king has affirmed their Benin ancestry. Asaba too are direct Igala roots. Any ipob member who attacks me should go and direct their attacks at theses Kings, since they are number 1 citizens of their kingdoms for over 1000 years. Ukwuanis, ndoka, ijaw and ogonis haven't forgiven ipob for killing them for refusing to join Biafra army. I saw a video Ned had interview on channels. He said addind Delta north to east will stop the agitation for Biafra. I will send the video. He also said as south has 6 states already, anioma will work if only we join east. Don't also forget he released ipob gun makers caught in onicha Igbo by Nigeria army.

Why are you crying about..?
I thought there are no indigenous Igbos in Delta state according to you guys..?
Why do you guys also say they don't have oil but depends on Delta west and central yet cry over their proposed move..?
You say they have nothing to offer and that they stole the state capital...why not support them so you can get your new desired capital and all the resources..?

Why still angry they want to leave you to create their indigenous new state that aligns with their kinsmen in the southeast..?

FYI, Igbos of Delta state are the glue holding that state together, once they leave it is be survival of the fittest for the other tribes in Delta.

Urhobo, Itsekiri and Ijaws will pick on themselves and have themselves for lunch while other minority tribes there will be totally sidelined.
