Senator Ned Nwoko, representing Delta North, has officially announced his exi from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), citing frustrations with the opposition group’s leadership in Delta State.
The announcement was made by Nwoko’s media aide, Gloria Okolugbo, who claimed the Senator’s decision arose 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.
