Senator Ned Nwoko has yet again reaffirmed that Anioma people in Delta State are overwhelmingly Igbo, dismissing contrary claims that attempt to link them exclusively to Benin ancestry.

He further maintained that unity should be prioritized over politics of identity. According to him, reconnecting Anioma people with their Igbo brothers and sisters in the Southeast is essential for the growth and unity of Ndigbo
