Senator Ned Nwoko Dumps PDP for APC
Senator Ned Nwoko , representing Delta North , has officially resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) after over two decades of membership.
Nwoko announced his resignation from the PDP in a letter addressed to the chairman of the party for Ward 8, Aniocha North Local Government Area of Delta State.
The letter dated Thursday, January 30, stated that the lawmaker is disappointed with the current happenings within the PDP.
According to Nwoko, the crisis between members and leadership of the PDP has made it difficult for anyone to foster unity and serve the interests of the people.
“My decision to resign is first and foremost due to the deep divisions and factionalisation within the party. This fragmentation has made it increasingly difficult to foster unity and advance the collective interests of our people,” he stated.
He also said that the factional crisis within the PDP and the deep divisions experienced by members and leaders is draining.
“However, during my campaign, I made solemn and actionable promises to my constituents—commitments I take seriously as a servant of the people.
“Unfortunately, the current structure of the party in our state has not been conducive to fulfilling these promises. After careful consideration, I have concluded that stepping away from the party is necessary to honor my obligations to my people.
“While I bid farewell to my membership in the PDP, I assure all party members and my constituents of my unwavering dedication to statesmanship, unity, and the advancement of Delta North.
“My decision is rooted in the best interest of those I serve, and I remain committed to the progress and prosperity of our state and nation.”
