Obi Keagborekuzi 1 , maintained that the agitation for the creation of Anioma State should not be politicized, but rather , taken as a collective dream of all Aniomas , due to the long term benefits that will accrue.

The Dein of Agbor paid glowing tributes to all those , living and dead , who have in no small way , ensured that the dream of creating an Anioma State, within the Nigerian federation, becomes a reality.

Said Keagborekuzi 1, “l am very much in support of any agitation that is not intended to cause disaffection or lead to national security concerns. I am fully in support of this Anioma State creation agitation in as much as it’s not driven to distort the Nigerian federation. I thank the distinguished Senator representing Delta North Senatorial district, Senator Prince Ned Nwoko , for championing the cause of a truly homogenous state for Aniomas. It’s a welcome development and we should ensure the entire process is supported”.

“So long as it’s not an illegitimate quest and not intended to disintegrate the country, the agitation for Anioma State is in order and needs to be encouraged by all and sundry”.
