An aide to Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has reacted to the defection of a senator from the state, Ned Nwoko. The federal lawmaker announced his defection in the week with an excuse that the PDP is divided and being engulfed by internal wranglings.
He would be the first senator to announce defection from the PDP in Delta State. But the governor’s aide, Fred Oghenesivbe argued that the senator is simply scared of losing his ticket to return to the upper chamber of the National Assembly.
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.”
He explained that Nwoko is no longer connected to the PDP and that he has refused to work with party leaders. The aide added that Nwoko had not been engaging well with Governor Sheriff Oborevwori.
“In Delta today, Senator Nwoko has been disconnected from the PDP structure and has not been working with party leaders in the state. As of today, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori is the leader of the PDP in the state, and Senator Nwoko has not been engaging well with the governor.
“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.”
