Mr Fred Oghenesivbe, an aide to Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has alleged that the senator representing Delta North, Ned Nwoko dumped the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, over fear that he may not secure the party’s governorship ticket in 2027.
Recall that Nwoko had in a letter, dated 30 January 2025,
formally notified his ward in Aniocha North Local Government Area of his
decision to quit the party.
The lawmaker, who was elected under the PDP platform in
2023, cited the unending leadership crisis rocking the main opposition party as
his reason for leaving.
Reacting, Oghenesivbe, the Director General of the Delta
State Orientation and Communication Bureau, said in an interview with TVC news
that Nwoko’s defection was “about 2027 politics and securing a ticket to run”.
He said, “Senator Ned Nwoko defected because he is scared of
not getting the PDP ticket in 2027. We all knew he would leave the party sooner
or later. It is about 2027 politics and securing a ticket to run.
“So, Nwoko is somehow scared that he may not get the PDP
ticket in 2027 because he has misrepresented our party at the national level.”
