Prince Ned Nwoko, Senator representing Delta North in the Nigerian Senate, has dumped the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), for the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Nwoko left the party almost two years after winning the 2023 senatorial election on the platform of the opposition party.
In a letter dated January 30, 2025, and addressed to his Ward 8 chairman in Aniocha North Local Government Area of Delta State, Nwoko cited various reasons for his decision to leave the party.
A copy of the letter was made available to our correspondent yesterday by his media team, confirming his departure from the PDP.
The letter: “I write to formally resign my membership of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), a party I have proudly served as a foundation member since 1999
“My decision to resign is first and foremost due to the deep divisions and factionalisation within the party. This fragmentation has made it increasingly difficult to foster unity and advance the collective interests of our people.
“Just this week, precisely on the 29th of January, the top party functionaries degenerated to the lowest levels by physically fighting themselves arising from the stated factions, which have become irreconcilable.
“I also deeply appreciate the platform the PDP provided me to contest the 2022/2023 senatorial election. It was an opportunity that allowed me to engage directly with the people of my constituency and present my vision for a brighter future.
“However, during my campaign, I made solemn and actionable promises to my constituents commitment to take seriously, regrettably, the current structure of the party in our state has not been conducive to realizing these promises. After careful consideration. I have come to the conclusion that stepping away from the party is necessary to fulfill my obligations to my people;
“While I bid farewell to my membership in the PDP, I assure all party members and my constituents of my unwavering dedication to statesmanship” the letter read
