Why Is Remi Tinubu Not Supporting Warri to Become Delta State Capital?

Mariam Babangida used her influence as First Lady to make Asaba the capital of Delta State. Yet Remi Tinubu has not championed creation of Anioma State that would elevate her hometown, Warri, to capital status. What will people of Delta South remember Remi Tinubu for? We see no effort from her to push for a Warri port, a refinery, or the revitalisation of the Aladja iron ore mill. Her voice only emerges strongly when elections draw near. Instead of advocating for Anioma State, Remi Tinubu and her husband appear to support Governor Okowa’s stance, keeping Warri in a secondary role. As a daughter of Itsekiri, many expected her to back moves that would position Warri alongside cities like Port Harcourt.
