How Senator Nwoko’s Defection To APC Has Impacted The Politics Of Delta BY AUSTIN OYIBODE Senator Ned Nwoko’s defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC) has undoubtedly had significant political implications in Delta North and the broader political landscape of Delta State. Nwoko, a prominent political figure, businessman, and philanthropist, is well-known for his influence and the deep connections he has built within Delta North over the years. His move from the PDP, a party with which he had established a strong relationship, has led to the depletion of the PDP’s influence in the region, weakening the party’s chances in future elections and altering the political dynamics in the state. This assertion is becoming obvious as massive defections continue to hit the PDP almost on a daily basis. The Rise of Senator Ned Nwoko in Delta North Senator Nwoko, a former member of the House of Representatives, emerged as a significant force in Delta North's politics, primarily due to his wealth, philanthropic activities, and political acumen. His influence in Delta North was particularly notable because of his ability to build relationships across ethnic and political lines. His entry into the Senate was a testament to his political influence and the support he garnered from a wide range of stakeholders in the region. His affiliation with the PDP was promising at the onset, as the party had a significant presence in Delta State. However, the manner in which the party was being run in Delta State led to his eventual defection to the APC. His defection came with several positive and negative consequences, positive for him and the APC and highly negative for the PDP. His departure is having serious negative impact on the PDP as alot of PDP members are pulling out and aligning with his political philosophy. The Depletion of PDP’s Strength in Delta North Senator Nwoko’s defection to the APC has depleted the PDP’s strength in Delta North in several ways. First, Nwoko's departure took away a key political figure from the PDP in the region. As one of the most prominent and influential politicians in Delta North, Nwoko had the ability to mobilize large numbers of supporters and voters for the PDP. His influence transcended beyond his personal political ambitions to encompassing a network of grassroots supporters, business leaders, and key stakeholders in Delta North. Losing such a figure has significantly weakened the PDP’s ability to maintain its political dominance in the region. Second, Nwoko’s departure signals a shift in the political allegiance of his supporters. Many of Nwoko’s loyalists, who had followed him through his rise in Delta North politics, are moving in massive exodus into the APC. This exodus of supporters is a blow to the PDP, as it loses a significant portion of its base. The defections are not just limited to ordinary voters but also extend to prominent political figures, party chieftains, and influential stakeholders in Delta North. These defections have left a vacuum within the PDP, making it more difficult for the party to maintain its previous level of influence in the region. Political and Electoral Ramifications The political ramifications of Nwoko’s defection are far-reaching, particularly in terms of electoral competitiveness. Delta North has historically been a stronghold for the PDP, but the defection of a high-profile figure like Nwoko to the APC has altered the balance of power in the region. In future elections, the APC is now better positioned to challenge the PDP’s dominance in Delta North. Nwoko’s political stature and ability to mobilize voters could give the APC a much-needed boost, especially in the 2027 elections. The APC, which has historically struggled to make significant inroads in Delta State, now has a prominent figure to challenge the PDP in the region. Nwoko’s defection definitely will provide the APC with the kind of electoral boost it has long been seeking, making Delta North a more competitive region for the party. The APC’s new-found strength in the region could potentially disrupt the PDP’s grip on Delta State, especially as the two parties prepare for upcoming elections. For the PDP, Nwoko’s defection represents a considerable loss in terms of resources and political capital. Nwoko had the financial resources, organizational capacity, and broad-based support to swing elections in the region, particularly for the PDP. His exit now leaves the PDP in a weakened state, forcing the party to re-evaluate its strategy and seek new alliances and strategies to win back lost ground in Delta North. The Broader Impact on Delta State Politics Nwoko’s defection also signals broader trends in Delta State’s politics, particularly in the ongoing battle for political control between the PDP and the APC. Delta State has historically been a stronghold for the PDP, but the emergence of new political dynamics, such as the rise of Nwoko within the APC, is shaking up the established order. Nwoko’s decision is inspiring other disgruntled PDP members to follow suit, leading to massive defections from the party. This could undermine the PDP’s hold on other parts of Delta State, resulting in a realignment of political forces. Furthermore, Nwoko’s defection has created a power vacuum within the PDP in Delta North, which is likely to lead to a scramble for leadership positions within the party. New aspirants and power brokers may emerge to fill the void left by Nwoko, potentially leading to internal instability within the PDP. This power struggle could further weaken the party’s ability to mount a united front against the APC in future elections. Finally, Senator Nwoko’s defection to the APC is a significant blow to the PDP in Delta North. His departure has weakened the party’s grip on the region, depleting its influence and support base. As a result, the PDP faces an uphill battle to maintain its dominance in Delta North in the face of an energized APC. Nwoko’s defection not only affects the PDP’s electoral prospects but also reflects a broader shift in Delta State politics that could have long-term implications for the political landscape of the region. The PDP must now regroup, reassess its strategies, and work hard to win back the support it has lost in the wake of this significant political shift

As Nigeria continues to battle the deep-rooted challenges of corruption and failed leadership, the 2027 senatorial election in Delta North presents a unique opportunity for the people to make a bold statement: that integrity, not political gamesmanship, is what the region truly values. Among the names on the ballot, one man stands out for his spotless public record, proven competence, and unwavering commitment to public service—Senator Prince Ned Munir Nwoko.

In a system where many public officials have been tarnished by corruption scandals, mismanagement of public funds, or gross abuse of office, Ned Nwoko remains remarkably clean. His political and professional career, spanning decades, has been free of any stain of financial misconduct or abuse of power—a rare achievement in today’s political climate. For Delta North, that alone is a powerful reason to return him to the Senate in 2027.

*A Clean Record in a Dirty System*

Since his first foray into public office as a member of the House of Representatives from 1999 to 2003, and now as a sitting Senator since 2023, Ned Nwoko has maintained a public profile untouched by the scandals that plague many of his peers. There have been no reports of fraudulent contracts, no petitions for financial misappropriation, and no probes or EFCC investigations linked to his name.

In a country where trust in politicians is low, and many voters are disillusioned by a system that seems to reward the corrupt, Nwoko’s clean record stands as a moral standard. His integrity is not just a personal attribute—it is a symbol of hope for a better, more accountable Delta North.

*Wealth Without Public Theft*

People have argued that Nwoko is wealthy, and they are right. But what makes him different is the source of his wealth. Long before joining politics, Nwoko had already made his fortune as an international lawyer and investor. He was called to the English Bar and built a reputable law practice in the United Kingdom. His business success is well-documented and not tied to questionable government contracts or backdoor dealings.

This independence makes him less vulnerable to the temptations that often corrupt public servants. He does not need to loot public funds because he has built legitimate wealth and understands that true leadership lies in giving back—not taking more.

*Service Without Selfish Gain*

Senator Nwoko’s record of philanthropy, from scholarships and health outreach to infrastructure projects, has been consistent and generous. Yet, he has never tied these efforts to political conditions. Whether in or out of office, he has continued to serve the people of Delta North, often from his own resources. That kind of selfless service is rare and signals a heart that is not driven by greed but by a sincere desire to see his people thrive.

His foundation and developmental projects have reached thousands across the district, and his legislative focus has always been on creating lasting impact—not personal enrichment.

*A Man of Principle in the Senate*

Inside the Senate chambers, Nwoko has distinguished himself as a principled voice. He speaks out on issues of national importance and has consistently pushed for transparent governance and regional development. He does not play the usual politics of silence and compromise that often shields corruption in high places.

He has also refused to join the bandwagon of lawmakers who use their offices for self-promotion while ignoring the real needs of their people. His legislative performance, coupled with his moral clarity, is exactly what Delta North—and Nigeria at large—needs more of.

*Trust and Legacy*

With 2027 on the horizon, Delta North must decide whether to gamble on untested politicians or return a proven, unblemished representative. The stakes are too high to hand the Senate seat to someone with questionable character or a hunger for power and wealth. In Ned Nwoko, the district has a man who already has wealth, honor, and respect—and seeks public office only to give more, not take more.
