The desire of Anioma people to produce the next
governor of Delta State has received a boost in Abeokuta, Ogun State, from
former President Olusegun Obasanjo.
Receiving a delegation of Anioma traditional rulers and
elders, led by the Asagba of Asaba, Prof. Chike Edozien, weekend, who visited
him under the auspices of Anioma Congress, Obasanjo, said he was supporting
Anioma people to produce the next governor because of his belief in equity and
fairness.
He said: “I will be a subtle advocate for the Anioma cause
because it is based on justice, fairness and equity.”
He advised the delegates to work hard and build alliances
with their ethnic neighbours in order to achieve their objective.
Obasanjo enjoined Anioma people to harmonise their various
candidates and present a marketable personality with proven track record of
performance, so as to receive acceptance from others.
Earlier, Prof. Edozien thanked Chief Obasanjo for the warm
reception accorded the entourage.
He told Obasanjo that the traditional rulers and elders of
Delta North Senatorial District inaugurated the Anioma Congress as an umbrella
organisation of all Anioma people with the objectives of bringing Anioma people
together, actualising the creation of Anioma State and producing the next
governor of Delta State, if no state was created in Nigeria before the 2015
general elections.
On the entourage were the Obi of Owa, Obi of Issele-uku, Obi
of Onicha Ugbo, Obi of Atuma and the Ogene of Ibedeni.
