President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, has indicated that Warri would serve as the capital of Delta State if it is affected by the proposed creation of a new state in the South-South, while Asaba would remain the capital of the proposed Anioma State.

Akpabio made the remarks on Wednesday at the All Progressives Congress (APC) zonal convention held in Asaba.

He made the clarification while explaining his appearance at the event in traditional Anioma attire, attributing it to Senator Ned Nwoko.

“See me dressed like this, it is distinguished Senator Ned Nwoko who gave me the attire. When I arrived and observed how Deltans were dressed, I asked why I was not similarly attired. He told me it was intentional to demonstrate support for the creation of Anioma State. I said, ‘what a trap,’” Akpabio remarked.

“But if that is the only demand from the Southsouth, state creation, then I should be very glad to support it.

“Your Excellency the Governor, if it is affecting Delta, let me tell you how it will be. For Anioma state, the capital will be in Asaba, then for Delta state proper, the capital will be in Warri. So it is not a problem.

“I don’t think we should be afraid because the more states we have, the more the development. If it passes through in the various Houses of Assembly, it then means we have one additional state. It will definitely be good and progressive for the development of the South Eastern Nigeria. May God bless the proponents.”
