During a visit to the National Assembly, the Obi of Ottah community in Igbanke, Edo State, addressed Deputy Senate President Barau Jibrin. He emphasised that the Igbanke people are indigenous Igbo in Edo State and formally requested a boundary adjustment to incorporate Igbanke into the proposed Anioma State. Residents believe this change will better reflect their cultural identity and strengthen unity among Igbo communities in the region.

Do you think including Igbanke in Anioma State will truly reflect their indigenous Igbo identity or spark more boundary debates?

What criteria would decide that Igbanke truly shares Anioma's cultural identity rather than just new administrative lines?

Are there clear community consultations to confirm that Igbanke people see Anioma State as their home?

It's interesting that the Obi of Ottah had to appeal directly to the Deputy Senate President rather than using local channels first.

I dey think say this boundary request fit complicate things for Edo State politics instead of solving any real inclusion issues.

A practical next step would be for community leaders to organise stakeholder meetings and gather demographic maps before presenting formal petitions.
