In Ukwuani, Delta State, Nigeria, local youths have organized to reject former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa's return to the Senate in 2027, citing his alleged corruption (1.3 trillion naira EFCC accusation) and lack of development for the community. The youths argue that Okowa's opposition to Southeast state creation serves his selfish political interests, as he would lose the oil revenue benefits (approximately 500 billion naira) that Delta State currently receives. This case illustrates how youth political activism can challenge established political figures and advocate for regional autonomy, while also highlighting the complex relationship between state creation, resource distribution, and political power in Nigeria.

This message is for people.
8 years as governorship.
Sitting governor for 8 years or campaign.
Because Governor for eight years.
election that our brother from land said that when Okoa was the governor of Delta state for 8 years, what did Okoa do for we people nothing. He said that after Okoa completed his 8 years governorship tenor that Okoa put someone to be the governor of Delta state to replace him and before Okoa left the governor seat that he stole money that money is the 1.3 trillion naira that EFCC accused Okoa of stealing. He said that Oka came to land and stole some of our land in the name of he wants to build an industrial park. He said that that same OKA that did not do anything for wean people, that same OKA that was accused by the FCC of stealing 1.3 trillion naira, that same OKA is the one that some people are campaigning for to go back to the Senate 2027 and after that he started placing causes on those people that are supporting Oka.
He said that those set of people that are supporting Oka are evil people. This is to tell you that we have youths in land that are so wise and intelligent to know what is good and what is bad.
FCC say 1.3 trillion naira will not do anything for people when he be senator and when he be governor now somewhat in 2027.
If you go for Tik Tok you go see some people say okay we go back to the senate in 2027.
If you go for Twitter the same those set of people I call them fools you know say this our brother they place ces on those set of people where they support to go back to the senate in 2027 that our brother said that the only thing that some people know how to do is to be clapping and be praising politicians from oimi and He said that that is the reason why you will hardly see an politician occupying a higher political office because the only do for other politicians from other regions in land just like they doing for all the politicians where land saya impose them on us. Now say you go be the house of fresh member they represent people. You go be the deputy governor of Delta state. All those people they dance to the tune of now all those politicians this our brother they tell all those things. So say they have sold land to bad politics.
You hardly see a politician they won't try to at the top. They not do like that.
shout like people never hear the word before not given light for more than 20 years land not get lights the way people complain about light you say only light be the problem we get for land we have so many other problems that are ravaging land as they tell people say oh is not the right person for wean people say nothing keep for it when they go collect and I say stay clear from Oka is a manipulator is only trying to go back to the senate to secure his place as in land he won't go see make use as him retirement plan make you just day for senates so that any agenda to create a state to join southeast he will stand against her. When are we people going to see a politician like senator who will fight so much to see that state is being created.
Senator Red Woko made everything possible by lobbying other senators in Nigeria, telling them why we need our states. And after that, 97 senators in Nigeria out of the 109 senators that we have supported the creation of anoma state and the southeast zoning. Tell me politician for this land where feed no politician for feed only state who know politicians for national assembly before you go come out they clam say you won't give your people a state you go know the kind of level where you don't reach for politics you see political giants like political giants say he won't give people in states those people say they not get road for their community just like we people not get road we people not get light for more than 20 years we not get state university federal university we not get federal hospital we not get state hospital land make develop now for people to have our own state which is state that is what is trying to give to people but instead some People are campaigning for saying we go back to 27.
Why this not going to swear for them?
THEY DESERVE THAT SWEAR MEN SWEAR they follow them failures they want go back to the remove so that he will kill the dream of state creation and zoning for this state where they see the oil producing areas are people and people no hindi benefit from this delta state.
That is why he know what make an state come join southeast because if state joins southeast all those things where they benefit from he not fit they get them again. If we get any state the revenue where state they get not go be like the revenue where the food delta states they get. If delta state they get 500 billion naira as revenue. If we get state and state not going to get that kind of amount.
So because of that thing where they benefit they don't want to make any state become a separate state because if become separate state are not get power over and people again. That is why he wants to make sure that people remain in Delta states so that any benefit from from that Delta state he benefit from that.
If not get selfish interest protect, why is he against the zone of state as do he started fighting it?
Those people say we want to be in the south. Oh make state for south because you know say once they create state that they enter full delta states he not going to reach them again. It just be like as Nigeria be now Bafra clam to go they talk about Niger Delta Republic if Bafra go they come become separate countries from Nigeria Nigeria is gone the country Nigeria not get any resources again in fact Nigeria as a country own don't finish don't end because the crude oil and gas where Nigeria they survive is in the land of Unibo and the land of other people in the south south. So Nigeria government prefer forbo to remain in Nigeria so that they go they get that thing where they they get if Bafra go Nigeria will be left with nothing. So now that same thing where Nigeria they do Bafra now that same thing they do Delta states instead of people to go let me do everything possible I'll make sure that they remain in Delta states so that I will be getting that thing that I'm getting from them what get that 1.3 trillion naira where EFCC accuse him of say Bhari send give that time Ah 250 billion naira. If they say we already get any state that time that money not go reach 250 billion what they give those state that time 100 billion according to osh but because of say delta state they produce huge amount of crude oil and gas.
Now why the money where Bhari send givea reach 250 billion naira.
So if we get a nor state the huge amount of money when they enter the other state he not enter again now that they protect but those people that say LET US OUT THEY ARE NOT the reason reach all this place they say they wise now that we say we wise where so many people keep land backward if you having conversation with some of them the way some of them talk say these people the way they talk they talk be mind them Not day people not for more than 20 years wait they will be saying what that you are supporting done for we are people senator is trying to give us a state let's support and make sure we get that state politics is a game of interest not a game of love I play politics in the name of love because I say I like this politician where no matter how he be make her support him he not do anything for land make her support I don't play politician is that way. My interest in this Anya state movement is to see that we Anya people have our own states to see that the clam of state to be created since 1938 is being actualized to see that land becomes great land. Those people sleep WAKE UP. YOUR PROBLEM southeast go southeast. Southeast go do us this.
They go do us that. Tell me any region or community for southeast where they complain say don't swallow our village. They don't occupy everywhere. They don't change our dialect. They don't do this. They don't do that. None will never hear such a thing. You don't want s because sis is called ebo. You don't want to be called ebo.
Stupid arguments, arguments, arguments where say they talk but start to because that is rubbish nonsense they talk all those things where makeup say they don't want any state to join southeast manipul say not get sense IF you don't have sense you don't get sense you don't have sense now you they suffer pass now you don't get sense in this suffer pass just wear suffer like cloth you don't get for more than 20 years is that not suffering suffering they pass like that should they pass like that that one I just lie to not get federal Police not get state police not get federal hospital not get state hospital is that not backwardness job land why understand the only know how to do is to stay in morning to night they not drive to see things with their eyes people so many of state They never go, they never go, they never go emo, they never go.
Now they just all through their life.
One of the major problem that we having in land is exposure. So many people are not exposed now for are you people not ashamed of yourself? Why our brother swear for why not swear for say do they go backward people say they follow what our forefathers do now keep backward lie there nothing like what our fathers did our ancestors did nothing our ancestors in land are saints they are whiter than snow the reason why land is backward is bad decision making lack of exposure, not knowing where we belong. That is the problem of land. As an person, you supposed to take your brain know say the right place for people to be in this country called Nigeria is the southeast.
And that is why we people are expected to embrace this slot that was given to us by our e brothers in the southeast.
When we people speak our dialect, our brothers in the southeast, they hear and understand. When they speak, we people we hear and understand. Our cultures and tradition are the same. Our way of life is the same. The same music, the same dance, the same deities. Name it. We people are the same people with our brothers in the southeast. But you see some people say we are sis people. We not be brothers. We are bene. We are Gala people. We are people. The same people they use our ancestors for land as sacrificial lambs for bin land. Now ancestors they give juju now that same all our ancestors for run from bini.
None of them they name our ancestors name for all of name.
The name of my own ancestor that ran out from bini is called he's an a man. So now this thing I be the exposure why they talk in the sense that some of them are not exposed to their actual history and that lack of exposure make you see some people say people they are people they want to be with people the same people and people were agitating to leave Midwestern region and have their own state which is Delta state where we are people for Midwestern region now so people complain about marginalize them say they want get their own state that was how Midwestern region was divided state go their own Delta go their own we are people support creation for the sake of land now you don't get now you don't get anything for land yet you take decision where carry go backward be more support state and have a state. What are the benefits of state? I know the benefit of state. You all know the benefit of a state.
But you want to push the benefit of a state away just to remain in the south south youth wake up and support for senate 2027.
Say no to oka for senate 2027. Oka does not mean well for wean people. Any person support for 2027 that person is one of the evil fashioned against wean people but they will not succeed.
campaign for share wallet.
