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.”

365Daily – The senator representing Delta North, Ned Nwoko, has officially tendered his resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
He is reportedly joining the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a resignation letter addressed to the party leadership in Ward 8, Aniocha North Local Government Area of Delta State, dated January 30, the senator cited deep divisions and irreconcilable factions as the primary reasons for his decision to leave.
“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,” Nwoko stated..
He continued, “Just this week, precisely on the 29th of January, the top party functionaries degenerated to the lowest levels by physically fighting themselves arising from the stated factions, which have become irreconcilable.”
While thanking the PDP for providing him the platform to run for the 2022/2023 senatorial elections, he lamented that the party’s current structure in the state had hinderee his fulfillment of the promises he made to his constituents during his campaign.
“Regrettably, the current structure of the party in our state has not been conducive to realising these promises. After careful consideration, I have come to the conclusion that stepping away from the party is necessary to fulfill my obligations to my people,” he added.
“While I bid farewell to my membership in the PDP, I assure all party members and my constituents of my unwavering dedication to statesmanship.
“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,” he added.
