LAFIA – Ned Nwoko, the senator representing Delta North at the National Assembly, on Sunday, declared that his defection from PDP to APC is not for political interest or personal gain.
The senator, in a statement by his media consultant, Michael Ogah, officially announced that his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party to the All Progressives Congress was not driven by electoral ambitions.
Senator Nwoko, who stated this at Agbor while addressing stakeholders and party supporters, explained that his move to the APC was based on his desire to align with the ruling party that prioritises good governance, economic development and the overall welfare of the people of Delta North and Nigeria at large.
“I did not leave PDP because of elections. My decision was made after deep reflection on the party’s internal challenges and my commitment to ensuring that my people receive the best possible representation,” he stated.
The senator, who also said he has been known for his contributions to legislative development and economic advocacy, emphasised that his focus remains on delivering quality representation and supporting policies that drive progress in Delta State.
It would be recalled that Senator Nwoko’s defection to the APC has stirred political conversations across Delta North, particularly in Agbor, with analysts speculating on the implications of his move ahead of the next elections.
However, Nwoko reiterated that his decision was not for personal gain but for the greater benefits of his constituents.
