‘Why Can’t You Develop Your State? – Delta Govt Official Tackle Lady Asks, ‘Saying Igbos Developed Asaba’

The Senior Special Assistant to the Delta State Governor, Ossai Ovie Success, has expressed disappointment in a post on X, claiming that the Igbos developed Asaba, the capital of oil-rich Delta State.

The claim was made by a user named Chinee Okoloigwe, who alleged that Asaba was developed due to the migration of Igbo men from neighbouring Onitsha.

@chineekol said, “Asaba is like that developed extension of Onitsha by Onitsha residents that they abandoned Onitsha for. If not for the Onitsha residents, Asaba wouldn’t be the developed Asaba of today.”
