Senator Ned Nwoko, representing Delta North, has officially left the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), citing frustrations with the PDP’s leadership in Delta State. Eyes Of Lagos reports,
The announcement was made by Nwoko’s media aide, Gloria Okolugbo, who revealed that the senator’s decision stemmed from a lack of support in delivering his campaign promises. “Senator Nwoko came prepared to serve, but he has not received the cooperation of his party,” Okolugbo stated, highlighting the difficulties Nwoko faced as the only PDP senator in Delta State.
The defection further strengthens APC’s dominance in Delta, with all three of the state’s senators now in the ruling party. Okolugbo also noted that despite Nwoko’s efforts to engage the PDP’s internal structures, factionalism within the party hindered progress.
This move marks a turning point in Delta’s political landscape and raises questions about the future of the PDP in the region. With Nwoko’s commitment to good governance and transparency, the shift signals growing challenges for the PDP in Delta State.
What does this mean for the PDP’s influence in Delta? Stay tuned as the political landscape continues to shift.
