Shock exit: Senator Ned Nwoko dumps PDP amid deep party crisis

Senator Ned Nwoko, representing Delta North, has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), a party he has been part of since its formation in 1999.

His resignation, conveyed in a letter dated January 30 to PDP Ward 8 in Aniocha North, Delta State, was driven by deep divisions and irreconcilable factions within the party.

Nwoko expressed concern over the worsening internal crisis, citing a recent altercation among top party officials on January 29 as a reflection of the PDP’s instability.

He noted that the current party structure in Delta State has hindered his ability to effectively serve his constituents and fulfill his campaign promises.

Acknowledging the role PDP played in his political journey, Nwoko thanked the party leadership and members for their support over the years.

However, he maintained that his decision to leave was necessary to remain focused on the welfare of his constituents and the broader development of Delta North.

His resignation marks a significant shift in Delta State’s political landscape, raising questions about his next political move.

While he has not announced a new party affiliation, speculations are rife about his potential alignment with another political platform ahead of future elections.

Despite his exit, the senator reaffirmed his commitment to delivering on his mandate, pledging to continue working for the progress and development of his people.

He also expressed appreciation to the PDP for the platform it provided and wished the party success in its future endeavours.
