Senator Ned Nwoko officially dumps PDP

The senator representing Delta North, Ned Nwoko, has officially announced his resignation from the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

The lawmaker, who was elected to the Senate in 2023 through the main opposition party, made his decision known on Friday in a letter dated 30th January 2025 and addressed to his Ward 8 chairman in Aniocha North Local Government Area of Delta State.

Nwoko cited various reasons, particularly the leadership crisis rocking the party, for his decision to leave the PDP.

According to him: “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, on 29th January, top party functionaries degenerated to the lowest levels by physically fighting among 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.”
