Senator Ned Nwoko resigns from PDP

After serving with the Peoples Democratic Party since its founding in 1999, Senator Ned Nwoko, who represents Delta North, has resigned. 

The senator expressed dissatisfaction with the current state of the party in a resignation letter dated January 30 that was sighted on Friday. 

The letter was addressed to the party leadership in Ward 8, Aniocha North Local Government Area of Delta State, and it stated that the main reasons for his departure were irreconcilable factions and deep divisions.

“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,” Nwoko stated.

The senator also bemoaned recent occurrences that highlighted the internal conflict inside the party. 

“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,” he revealed.

Nwoko expressed gratitude to the PDP for giving him the forum he needed to interact directly with his constituents during the 2022–2023 senatorial elections. 

He did, however, reaffirm his resolve to keep the pledges he made during his campaign, which he feels has been hampered by the Delta State party's current setup.
