As the oldest player in Jose Peseiro’s current roster at the ongoing tournament, Ekong’s leadership role is pivotal.

Nine Super Eagles players participating in the competition represent top-tier European clubs.

“I believe all of us play for reputable teams, with some in better teams than others, but each player is young and eager to demonstrate their capabilities. This collective drive contributes to our team’s strength,” he shared with Hot Sports.

“Once we step into camp, individual club affiliations become insignificant. There’s a genuine camaraderie among us that fuels our performance.

Former Governor of Delta State, Ifeanyi Okowa, has accused Senator Ned Nwoko, who represents Delta North in the National Assembly, of misleading his constituents over the proposed creation of Anioma State.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

News reports that Okowa made the remarks on Tuesday while speaking at a meeting with All Progressives Congress (APC) stakeholders in Oshimili South Local Government Area. The gathering is part of ongoing consultations linked to his 2027 Senate ambition.

Okowa said that contrary to Nwoko’s position, people of Delta North actually support the creation of Anioma State within the South-South geopolitical zone, with Asaba as its capital, rather than aligning it with the South-East.

He criticised Nwoko’s approach, describing the push as misleading and poorly thought out, while recalling the role of an Asaba indigene who fought for the city to become the capital of Delta State.

According to him, the current agitation for Anioma State has been handled in a unilateral manner, without proper consultation with the wider population.

Okowa stressed that such a major political demand should not be driven by individual interests, insisting that collective agreement is necessary.

He argued that leaders must remain connected to their people and consider majority opinion, warning against decisions taken without broad consultation.

Okowa maintained that the push for Anioma State should remain a collective aspiration, adding that when the time eventually comes, it should reflect the genuine will of the people of the area.
