Senator Ned Nwoko, the lawmaker representing Delta North, has proposed that two key actions are necessary to bring lasting peace to the Southeast geopolitical zone: the creation of Anioma State and the release of the detained leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu. Speaking on Sunday Politics on Channels Television, Nwoko attributed the persistent unrest and agitation in the Southeast to “the perceived injustice by successive governments” and the resulting marginalization of the region. He maintained that creating an additional state in the zone (Anioma State) to bring the total number of states in the region to six, along with Kanu’s release, would almost certainly “bring lasting peace to the Southeast.”
