AGBOR REJECTS POLITICAL AFILIATION WITH SOUTH-EASTERN NIGERIA

IKORO-AGBOR, comprising of the youth of the entire communities of Agbor Kingdom, met recently in Imobi Agbor and after extensive deliberations on the issues raised by Senator Ned Nwoko - Senator representing Delta North in the subsisting 10th Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria - on the matter of ceding the regional affiliation of the prospective Anioma State to South-Eastern Nigeria, unanimously resolved to send to you and publish the following resolutions:

1. That Agbor Kingdom is an integral part of Delta North senatorial district, otherwise called Anioma. We State that Agbor are not in agreement with the published proposition of Senator Ned Nwoko and are therefore opposed to the political affiliation of Anioma to South-Eastern Nigeria.

2. We affirm that Senator Ned Nwoko, the senator representing the Delta North District did not consult with the people of Agbor before issuing his proposition of a prospective Anioma State joining with the South-East in a new Region in Nigeria.

3. That we are by this publication, expressing our disapproval of Senator Nwoko’s conduct of taking such far reaching and binding political decision without prior consultation with the principal stakeholders of the Anioma Region.


4. We inform you that Agbor Kingdom was firmly situated in the Old Western Region where it occupied a pride of place as our king, Obi Obika, as a high ranking Minister, represented the interests of the Anioma people in the Western Region Government.

5. That during the plebiscite that created the Midwest Region in 1964, Agbor people helped mobilize the rest Anioma Region to vote for and become an integral part of the Midwest Region.

6. That the Agbor Kingdom has had no shared history, governing commonality or association with the Igbo before or after British colonialism. While we remain fellow compatriots since the independence of Nigeria in 1960, we have had no relatable administrative experience with South-Eastern Nigeria.


7. That arising from these stated facts, IKORO-AGBOR dissociates the land and people of Agbor from the proposition of Senator Ned Nwoko which we Believe has been published to the National Assembly, the Presidency and other public institutions for consideration. We therefore by this publication declare Nwoko’s unilateral affiliation to the South-East null, void and of no binding effect on Anioma people.

8. That the mandate of Senator Ned Nwoko, representstive of Delta North in the 10th senate of the Republic of Nigeria does not include any permission to railroad or bond the Delta North or Anioma people to a political union with South Eastern Nigeria without the democratic consent of the people expressed in a plebiscite.

9. We hold that any re-arrangement in the political affiliation of the Delta North senatorial district will require a plebiscite to seek a democratic validation as was done before the creation of the Midwest Region in 1964. Agbor was an integral part of that epochal political experience.

10. That the Agbor people remain united with their Anioma brethren in the advocacy for Anioma State, following in the leadership role played by our own Dr. George Oka Orewa of blessed memory, whose pioneering leadership united the Anioma people in the quest for their own state and identity.

11. Finally, Ikoro-Agbor expresses the firm resolve of Agbor people to remain a strong advocate of a future Anioma state that will be solidly an integral part of the South-South region of Nigeria.

even if it is legit, all the names mentioned there are all Igbo names. Confused people.

And so?

If you check well, it is possible you took their names and culture and not the other way round.

Today, many colonised people bear European names and imbibe their culture. They also outnumber Europeans .

Old English is basically Flemish which is exactly the same as German. But do you see Germans dragging England?

Same modern English has a lot of borrowed words and names. Christian names like John , Peter and co are common among Europeans but that doesn't make Jews claim that Europeans are their people.


Dutch language is similar to German but you don't see Germans claiming Holland as Deutschland .

Those guys has a lot to learn.
Anioma will remain a South South state. Period!

Anioma State in SS?

Bunch of jokers. How many states will SS now have?

Nonsense

Felimax:


Those guys has a lot to learn.
Anioma will remain a South South state. Period!

But what motivated Ned to think he can decide for an entire sub region in a state without due consideration ?

Ned should be schooled on what representation means.

Being a senator does not give one fiat to decide on the future of your constituents.

Delta north should consider a recall .

If Ned so much wants to be in the SE, he should move across the Niger to Onitsha.

Why not carve out from either Benue or Kogi.

Why Delta ?

Beremx:

South South , South East are just names. Aniomas are Igbos no argument.
The argument is that a majority of us are not comfortable with the s socalled "adding to southeast".

Links from a reputable source, their pictures, faces, and their logo as agbor people or you delete this trash. We dont listen to gossips from ewedu junk news here in Soth east

See as other groups dey use Igbos catch cruise. Dem fit come out tomorrow con say dem dey part of SE again

SE should give themselves some class abeg

Let them drag themselves to you if they so much want to be part of you
Ikumbeku

It's unnecessary. The process involves referendum. State creation is not automatic.

It's ok.

Rejection has a sting in it but you will get over it.

WhizdomXX:

SS is a distinct geopolitcal region from the SE.

Why you guys refuse to accept that the old eastern region is dead and buried ?

Even the old Bendel you are dragging was never ever part of the British Eastern region.

Why are you guys like this ?

Umu Yolluba zukwanu ike!!!

So they can't speak for themselves ni!
You guys have destroyed Nigeria since 2015 with your tribalism......

In all fairness, nobody truly wants to associate with Yolluba in any future disintegration or regionalization!

Fvcking out and speaking for imaginary groups should be the least of your worries, because the revolution wey dey road dey come (minus ndi Igbo Sha) go be child's Play to Endsars.

LadyExcellency:

The only time you made a sensible post .

Lolz.

This one dey para because they have rejected them again and is now projecting his angst on Yogubas.

Did Yorubas drag Anioma ?

Anoma group comes out to state they are committed to their own state creation with a caveat that they must remain in the SS region and here you are screaming blue murder and dragging Yorubas into your latest rejection.

Why not ask Anioma people who since modern statehood have always preferred to be referred with the qualifier of their state (Bendel Ibo, Delta Ibo) than be yoked under the general Ibo umbrella.

These are questions only the Anioma people can provide to you .

DomPerignon:

I keep saying it that it will not be easy to fix Delta North with South East. They are Naturally separated

Southeast people should not sacrifice their demand for a sixth state to these people.

It's ok.

osi pained? My dear if you dont know, there is no different between south east and south south, inshort let me educate you, south south is just a name to distract the gullibles, i can bet my bores that you haven't been to either zone before, you are just online ranting like a parrot. Just endeavor to visit either zone and you will notice that their is no difference. Even the agbor you are ranting for is even more igbo than the other aniomas in delta. Pls get a brain.

I am from SS and I don't see any similarities with you in the SE.

Stop dragging us abeg.

south south my foot. You be confirm onye ofe mmanu. Get a life

why aren't you comfortable adding yourselves to the SE if you claim to be Igbos? Anyways, I think you guys should just stick to SS. Let another state come strictly from SE. Joining together isn't by force

WhizdomXX:

South South , South East are just names. Aniomas are Igbos no argument.
The argument is that a majority of us are not comfortable with the s socalled "adding to southeast".

That's incredible when you remember that the constitution of Nigeria does not recognise anything called South East or South South

santopelele:
south south my foot. You be confirm onye ofe mmanu. Get a life

Ok.

Maybe Wike sef is an ode mmanu too for chasing your reggae outfit terrorists out of Rivers.

Come carry your Gucci flag enter anywhere inside SS.

SS is not and will never be part of Ibo land .

There is no political affiliation between any state in Nigeria. All States in Nigeria are equal and are not bonded to any other one. The Geopolitical distribution is not constitutional and nobody will force Anioma state to be in South East. Anyway, these Bini elements in Agbor have expressed a strong disapproval to the creation of Anioma state.
We will see whether their stance will mean anything during Public hearing.

How will they get Anioma State if they're insisting on remaining in SS thats unconstitutional?

This group are working against the creation of Anioma State. They're saboteurs

Rejected again.

Why are you fighting for south south or south east? They're not even in the constitution.

Ordinary local govt areas are in the constitution but these geopolitical zones are not so why should we be fighting for what will make the creation of Anioma State impossible?

Felimax:

It was always a question of when not if you’ll arrive on a thread like this!

Can you tell us why a Yoruba or Fulani man (you’re either one or the other) would feel threatened and want to work against Anioma being part of the south-east!? Why the interest in seeing Anioma state, if created, stays in the south-south!?

DMerciful:

In their warped and bigoted minds, they feel they’re working against Igbo interests! Check well and you’ll see the post history of most of such people are high on anti-Igbo sentiments while high on pro-Tinubu/Buhari/APC sentiments!
