However, the traditional ruler said he remained irreversibly committed to the idea of creation of Anioma State within the historically recognized Anioma entity.
The monarch, in a statement by his Personal Secretary, Dr Jude C. Mgbeze, cited “irreconcilable differences as regards the geographical boundaries and the delineation of the territory to be known as Anioma State” as one of the reasons for his withdrawal.
He also cited what he described as “clandestine and delusional complicity to move the capital of the proposed Anioma State out of Asaba” as another reason.
The statement emphasized that “As the Traditional Ruler of Asaba, HRM, the Asagba of Asaba, cannot be seen to be presiding over the liquidation and decimation of his kingdom.
“HRM’s Oath of Office enjoins him, at all times, to protect, preserve and defend the interest and wellbeing of Asaba people. Any thing, whatsoever, that will lead HRM to compromise his oath of office will always be rejected.”
