Niger Delta Youth Leader Advocates for Toru-Ebe State Creation Across Delta, Edo, and Ondo States


By EgbemaVoice

Comrade Mingo Meshach Saya Ogumaka, Treasurer of the Ijaw Publishers Forum and Publisher of EgbemaVoice News, has called for the creation of Toru-Ebe State to unify Ijaw communities across Delta, Edo, and Ondo states under a single administrative structure.
Speaking at Delta state headquarters Asaba town, Comrade Mingo emphasized that, this initiative stems from the Ijaw people's longstanding pursuit of recognition and autonomy. He highlighted that such a move would address the marginalization of Ijaw communities, promote development, and safeguard the cultural identity of the Ijaw ethnic group.

The youth leader noted that despite the Ijaw people's significant contributions to the oil and gas sectors, they continue to face neglect in terms of infrastructure and governance representation. The proposed Toru-Ebe State aims to incorporate Ijaw communities in Patani, Bomadi,  Warri North and Warri South-West (Delta State), Ovia South-West, Ovia North East and Ikpoba okha Local Government Area (Edo State), Ese-ode Ijaws and Ilaje (Ondo State), to fostering unity and equitable development.

As Chairman of the Progressive Youth Leadership Foundation of the Niger Delta, Comrade Mingo underlined the shared historical and cultural bonds among these communities of Toru-Ebe State was borne out of the fact that it was an economically viable, naturally located on the heart of the crude oil that sustained the nation and had sufficient population.

Ogumaka , who said the proposed state consists of Arogbo-Ijaw kingdom in Ondo State, Egbema kingdom Edo State, Egbema kingdom in Warri North local government area of Delta state, Okomu, Olodiama and Furupagha kingdoms in Edo state, Isaba, Gbaramatu and Ogbe-Ijoh kingdoms in Warri South LGA, as well as Burutu and Bomadi LGAs in Delta State, noted that it was a truly homogenous state meant to obviate the balkanisation of the Ijaws


He advocated for a constitutional and peaceful approach to the state creation process and urged political stakeholders, traditional rulers, and community leaders to support the initiative. He further called for active engagement with the federal government to make the vision of Toru-Ibe State a reality.

This proposal aligns with the broader Ijaw struggle for political recognition and economic justice in the Niger Delta, reflecting a united call for progress and equity. He said,
