Public affairs analyst, Fred Akpewe, has said President Bola Tinubu has a historic opportunity to inscribe his name in the annals of national unity, equity, and justice by supporting the creation of Anioma State.
Akpewe noted that the move would affirm Tinubu’s commitment to fairness, inclusivity, and nation-building.
In a statement, he emphasised that political legacies are not just built through speeches and policies, but through bold decisions that shape the future, “they are carved into history through bold actions that shape the future of generations.
For President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the creation of Anioma State stands as a monumental opportunity to etch his name into the chronicles of national unity, equity, and justice.
“Anioma, a region rich in culture, resources, and human capital, has long yearned for recognition as a distinct state within Nigeria’s federal structure. Despite its historical contributions and strategic relevance, it has remained marginalised in the conversation of state creation.
Now, under Tinubu’s administration, the call for Anioma State has not only gained momentum but has also become a symbol of long-overdue justice for a people whose identity has often been overshadowed.”
He emphasised that “President Tinubu, a seasoned political strategist and champion of restructuring, understands the importance of balancing Nigeria’s diversity with equitable representation.
By endorsing and actualising the creation of Anioma State, he would be fulfilling the ideals of fairness, inclusivity, and nation-building, principles he has long advocated.
“The creation of Anioma State would resolve long-standing issues of political imbalance in Delta State, address administrative inefficiencies, and empower the Anioma people to fully harness their potential.
More importantly, it would set a precedent for addressing other genuine demands for state creation across Nigeria, thus reinforcing Tinubu’s image as a reformer who listens, understands, and acts.
