The senator representing Delta North, Senator Ned Munir Nwoko, Thursday told Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta state that it was not enough decamping to the All Progressive Congress APC, but his action and decision be backed up with capacity to deliver.
He charged the governor that: “Your defection must not be symbolic, it must be transformative.”
Senator Ned Nwoko in a statement by his media consultant, Michael Ogar, explained that the governor’s defection to APC marks a significant chapter in the nation’s political history.
“With your courageous defection to the All Progressives Congress, a landmark history is being rewritten. This moment is not just about shifting allegiances, it is about the bold possibilities now within reach. For the first time in decades, we have a real chance to restructure Nigeria’s federating units through constitutionally backed reforms that serve justice, equity, and true federalism”.
“As Governor of Delta State, leading the charge among five PDP governors now aligning with the APC, you have stepped into a party reenergized and focused. A party that has already begun laying the groundwork for bold constitutional amendments,” he said.
Senator Nwoko, the chairman Senate adhoc committee on Crude Oil Theft said among challenges before the region is the creation of two new viable states including Anioma and New Delta.
“Let me remind you, this agenda was declared a done deal by the party leadership long before your defection, a testament to the APC’s commitment to correcting historical imbalances and ending regional marginalization.
“This is the golden hour for the South, and especially for Delta. Your move to the APC must be anchored in vision. Embrace the party’s progressive agenda. Lead the charge for constitutional reform. Leave behind the politics of survival and step into the politics of legacy.
“Your decision to align with the President and the Renewed Hope Agenda will ensure that New Delta State, and Anioma is not left behind , but instead benefits immensely from the vast opportunities available at the centre,” he said.
