Senator Ned Nwoko has said that, the All Progressives Congress (APC) does not need Governor Sheriff Oborevwori to win Delta State in 2027.
The Delta North Senator, Ned Nwoko, warned Oborevwori, to bury his plan to decamp to the APC which he recently joined as a result of power play between him the governor.
Instead, he wants his political foe to remain in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) so that he could suffer defeat in the 2027 election.
Nwoko made the statements when the APC’s National Chairman, Umar Ganduje, welcomed members of Delta Unity Group (DUG) in Ika Federal Constituency who defected from PDP into the party on Saturday.
“Oborovwori wants to come to APC, but tell him to stay where he is. He will be defeated. We don’t want him in APC.
The President personally told me that he will deliver Delta to APC, maybe that is why the governor is desperate,” Nwoko said.
The former PDP Senator accused his former party – PDP of misgoverning Delta for 25 years, and boasted that it that APC would take over the state in 2027.
“Delta will surely become an APC state come 2027. 25 years of corrupt governance by the PDP in the state is enough. We must take over. The time has come for that to happen,” he stated.
He told the defectors to be hopeful as the next governor of the state would come from APC. He commended their decision to follow in his footsteps by joining APC.
“Don’t let anyone doubt who you are. The next governor will be formed by you. As you go home, tell them that the next Governor of Delta State will be formed by the APC.
“Today, we are emboldened and happy that a large political group like the DUG is following my footsteps in joining the APC,” Nwoko stressed.
