PRESS RELEASE
REJOINDER TO THE PUBLICATION BY THE “INDOMITABLE UNION OF NMU AGBOR” ON HON. MRS. CORDILIA ANYANGWU
Date: August 9, 2026
Our attention has been drawn to a statement purportedly issued by the Indomitable Union of Nmu Agbor attacking the person, office, and past official records of Hon. Mrs. Cordilia Nkemnchor Anyangwu, particularly questioning her activities as the immediate past DESOPADEC Board Member representing the Ika Ethnic Nationality.
We consider it necessary to set the record straight.
First, it is important to state that disagreement over political activities or the assessment of a public office holder should not be used as a platform for deliberate misinformation, character assassination, or the distortion of facts. Where concerns arise regarding any statement, project, or intervention attributed to Hon. Anyangwu, the appropriate course of action is to seek clarification and verify facts, rather than resort to sweeping and unsubstantiated allegations.
The publication in question alleges that the reported achievements and interventions attributed to the Ika-South APC Flagbearer for the Delta State House of Assembly, Hon. Anyangwu, during her tenure at DESOPADEC are entirely fabricated. However, the authors have not provided credible evidence to substantiate the claim that all referenced projects, interventions, or activities are fictitious. It is one thing to disagree with a public record; it is another to categorically dismiss it in its entirety without verifiable proof.
We therefore challenge the authors of the statement to substantiate their allegations with verifiable facts, documentation, and specific evidence, rather than relying on broad and unsubstantiated assertions.
Hon. Cordilia Anyangwu’s public service should be assessed based on her official responsibilities, documented interventions, and available records within the Ika Ethnic Nationality. Where genuine concerns exist, they should be presented constructively and subjected to proper public scrutiny.
We also reject any attempt to create the impression that the Ika-South APC candidate, Hon. Anyangwu, lacks commitment to the development of the Ika people simply because of differing political opinions. Public service is not measured solely by political narratives or the volume of criticism directed at an office holder, but by verifiable impact and service delivery.
If the authors contend that any specific project—such as empowerment programmes, school interventions, solar lighting projects, or other initiatives referenced in the disputed publication—did not occur, they should clearly identify such claims and provide evidence to support their position. The people of Ika deserve facts, not generalized accusations.
It is also important to remind the public that political differences must not be allowed to degenerate into attacks on the dignity of the Ika people or the institutions that represent them. We encourage all stakeholders in public discourse to maintain civility and ensure that discussions are guided by facts and verifiable records.
Hon. Mrs. Cordilia Anyangwu remains committed to serving the people within the scope of her mandate and responsibilities. Her record should be evaluated objectively, free from political bias, personal attacks, or deliberate misrepresentation.
We therefore call on members of the public to disregard the inflammatory aspects of the said publication and to demand credible evidence from anyone making serious allegations against a public office holder.
Ika people generally and Ika-South Constituency deserve development, accountability, transparency, and responsible representation. They also deserve accurate and truthful information.
Signed:
Supporters of Hon. Mrs. Cordilia Nkemnchor Anyangwu,
Ika-South APC Flagbearer for Delta State House of Assembly.
