Chants As Senate Confirms Ned Nwoko’s Defection To APC

The Senate has formally announced the defection of Senator Ned Nwoko (representing Delta North) from the Peoples Democratic Party to the ruling All Progressives Congress, following his recent resignation from the opposition party.

Recall that Nwoko highlighted the current state of PDP, internal crises, and instability for his defection to APC.

Prior to his this formal announcement, Senator Nwoko also stated that he left the PDP because Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori and former governor, Ifeanyi Okowa did not give him space to function.

According to Channels TV, thunderous chants erupted as he was escorted to the majority wing of the Upper Chamber.
