They don\u2019t know the advantages of state creation, such as two governors, two deputies, more lawmakers, and other developments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe only party that will make it happen is APC. If there is anybody in other political parties, it is because of their stomachs, but not for the interest of Anioma people,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>On why he joined APC, Nwoko said he had a meeting on 1st January 2025 with President Tinubu, had meetings with the Senate President and other APC leaders and stakeholders subsequently, who told him that Anioma State creation could only be their project if he joined APC.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I am pushing and I have the President with me, wouldn\u2019t I need to join APC? They said it was my project since I was in PDP, but if I wanted it to be their project, I should join APC. I want it to be their project. All APC members on the committee I belong to support Anioma state creation,\u201d the senator stated.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Nigeria<\/span> Follow <span style=\"color: #ff6600\">Africa-Press<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
