Senate Greenlights Ned Nwoko’s Switch To APC

Senator Ned Nwoko, who represents Delta North, recently resigned from the opposition party, and the Senate has officially announced his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party to the ruling All Progressives Congress.

Recall that Nwoko highlighted the current state of the PDP, internal crises, and instability for his defection to the APC.

PUNCH Online reports that the lawmaker had stated that he left the PDP because Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, and former governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, did not give him space to function.

According to Channels TV, thunderous chants erupted as he was escorted to the majority wing of the Upper Chamber.

In addition to his defection, the senator, in a correspondence read by the President of the Senate, Godswill Akpabio, urged the Senate to establish an ad hoc committee to investigate the ongoing crisis within the PDP.

He emphasized the need for a viable opposition to safeguard Nigeria’s political landscape and ensure a balanced democratic process.
