Senator Ned Nwoko, representing Delta North Senatorial District, has officially resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
In his resignation letter, Nwoko attributed his departure to deep divisions and factionalization within the PDP, which he described as irreconcilable and detrimental to governance.
Nwoko’s decision to leave the PDP was guided by his commitment to delivering campaign promises to his constituents.
He expressed frustration with the current structure of the party in Delta State, which he believes has hindered his efforts to fulfill his promises.
Despite his party switch, Nwoko assured his constituents that he remains committed to their welfare and development.
This defection marks a significant shift in Delta politics, as Nwoko is a key political figure in the region.
His move is expected to bolster the APC’s influence ahead of the 2027 general elections.
With Nwoko’s departure, the PDP’s dominance in Delta State may be threatened, potentially paving the way for the APC to gain ground in the region.
