Ned Nwoko finally resigns from PDP over division

Senator Representing Delta North at the National Assembly, Senator, Ned Nwoko has formally resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), saying that his resignation was as a result of deep divisions and factionisation within the party.

Senator Nwoko who doubles as chairman senate committee on preparations and repatriations and vice chairman, senate committee on environment and sports development said the fragmentation has made it increasingly difficult to foster unity and advance the collective interests of the people

According to him, “I write to formally resign my membership of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), a party I have proudly served as a foundation member since 1999.

“The fragmentation has made it increasingly difficult to foster unity and advance the collective interests of our people. 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;

“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:

“However, during my campaign, I made solemn and actionable promises to my constituents-commitments I take seriously as a servant of the people. Regrettably, the current structure of the party in our state has not been conducive to realizing these promises. After careful consideration, I have come to the conclusion that stepping away from the party is necessary to fulfill my obligations to my people:

” While I bid farewell to my membership in the PDP, I assure all party members and my constituents of my unwavering dedication to statesmanship,unity, and the advancement of Delta North

“My decision is rooted in the best interest of those I serve, and I remain committed to the progress and prosperity of our state and nation.

” I extend my gratitude to the party leadership and members for their support and wish the PDP continued success in its endeavors.
