In a monumental shift in Delta State politics, Senator Ned Nwoko has officially joined the All Progressives Congress (APC), a decision he announced earlier today in his hometown. With this move, Delta State, traditionally a stronghold of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), now has all three of its Senators representing the APC for the first time in history—a remarkable feat that underscores the growing influence of the APC in the state.
Engr. Felix Akpoyibo, National Coordinator of the New Delta Grassroot Movement, has praised Senator Nwoko’s decision as a testament to his patriotism and commitment to the welfare of Delta State. "This is a groundbreaking moment for our state. Senator Nwoko has demonstrated rare courage and leadership by prioritizing the collective good of Delta State over personal or party interests. His alignment with the APC signifies a new dawn for our state and its people," Akpoyibo said.
While other states have achieved full APC representation in the Senate, this marks a historic first for Delta State, a region long dominated by the PDP. Akpoyibo commended Senator Nwoko for taking a bold step that not only strengthens the APC but also reflects his vision for a united and progressive Delta.
"Ned Nwoko’s move is proof that he is not just a politician but a true statesman who values the prosperity of Delta State above all else. His decision will serve as a catalyst for greater unity, development, and political inclusivity in our state," Akpoyibo added.
Akpoyibo further applauded Senator Nwoko for making a wise decision by leaving what he described as a “sinking PDP.” He noted that the party at the national level is currently divided into three factions , with numerous additional factions at the states and local government level, rendering it incapable of providing effective leadership or a unified vision for the state.
"This move by Senator Nwoko shows his foresight and understanding of the need for stability and progress. The PDP in Delta State has become a shadow of itself, riddled with internal conflicts and lacking direction. Senator Nwoko’s departure is both timely and commendable," Akpoyibo remarked.
The implications of this realignment are profound. With all three Senators now under the APC, Delta State is poised for a new era of political and developmental strides. Akpoyibo urged stakeholders, party faithful, and grassroots supporters to rally behind Senator Nwoko to maximize the opportunities this transition presents.
"This historic achievement must not be seen as the end but as the beginning of a transformative journey for Delta State. Together, under the APC, we can achieve unprecedented progress and uplift the lives of our people," Akpoyibo emphasized.
As Delta State transitions into this new political chapter, Senator Ned Nwoko’s decision will be remembered as a bold and selfless act of leadership, one that places the interests of his people above all else. The APC now stands stronger than ever, and Delta State has set a precedent for embracing change in pursuit of progress.
