NED NWOKO STEPS DOWN FROM PDP, CITING INTERNAL PARTY CONFLICT

Jan 28, 2025 10:40 AM

 Senator Ned Nwoko, representing Delta North, has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), a political group he has been part of since its inception in 1999.


In a resignation letter addressed to the party leadership in Ward 8, Aniocha North Local Government Area of Delta State, dated January 30 and seen on Friday, the senator expressed his dissatisfaction with the current state of the party, citing deep divisions and irreconcilable factions as the primary reasons for his departure.


"My decision to resign is primarily due to the deep divisions and factionalization within the party. This fragmentation has made it increasingly difficult to foster unity and advance the collective interests of our people," Nwoko stated.


The senator further lamented recent events that highlighted the party's internal strife. "Just this week, on January 29, top party functionaries degenerated to the lowest levels by physically fighting among themselves due to the irreconcilable factions," he revealed.


Nwoko thanked the PDP for the platform it provided him during the 2022/2023 senatorial elections, which allowed him to engage directly with his constituents.


However, he emphasized his commitment to fulfilling the promises he made during his campaign, a task he believes has been hindered by the party's current structure in Delta State. "Regrettably, the current structure of the party in our state has not been conducive to realizing these promises. After careful consideration, I have concluded that stepping away from the party is necessary to fulfill my obligations to my people," he added.



Despite his resignation, Nwoko reiterated his dedication to serving his constituents and advancing their interests. "While I bid farewell to my membership in the PDP, I assure all party members and my constituents of my unwavering dedication to statesmanship," he said.


The senator, who also serves as the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Reparations and Repatriations and Vice Chairman of the Senate Committee on Environment and Sports Development, emphasized that his decision was made in the best interest of those he represents. "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," he added.


Nwoko thanked the PDP leadership and its members for their support over the years, wishing the party continued success in its future endeavors.
