Tinubu Promised to Deliver Delta to APC, Oborevwori Should Remain in PDP – Senator Ned Nwoko

Senator Ned Nwoko has declared that the All Progressives Congress (APC) does not need Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori to secure victory in the 2027 elections.

Speaking during the defection of members of the Delta Unity Group (DUG) from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to APC in the Ika Federal Constituency, Nwoko urged Governor Oborevwori to remain in the PDP, stating that his presence is not welcome in the APC.

“Oborevwori wants to join APC, but he should stay where he is. He will be defeated. We do not want him in the APC,” Nwoko said.

According to the Delta North Senator, President Bola Tinubu has personally assured him that the APC will take over Delta State in 2027. He suggested that this may be the reason behind Oborevwori’s alleged plans to defect to the ruling party.

“The President told me himself—he’ll deliver Delta to the APC. Maybe that’s why the governor is desperate,” Nwoko stated.

He criticized the PDP for mismanaging Delta State over the past 25 years and expressed confidence that the APC would bring change.

“Delta will surely become an APC state in 2027. We’ve had enough of 25 years of misrule. It’s time to take over,” he said.

Addressing the new defectors, Nwoko praised their move and encouraged them to remain steadfast, assuring them that the next governor of Delta would emerge from the APC.

“Don’t let anyone question your decision. The next governor will come from among you—from the APC. As you return to your communities, spread the word: the future of Delta lies with the APC,” he added.
