New States Were Approved Before Your Defection — Ned Nwoko Blasts Oborevwori, Urges Him To Abandon PDP Mentality

Senator Ned Nwoko, representing Delta North, has urged Governor Sheriff Oborevwori to abandon the old ways of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) after his defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

In a statement issued on Sunday, Nwoko emphasized that the APC had already taken significant steps toward constitutional reforms, including the establishment of Anioma and New Delta states.

He warned Oborevwori that his shift to the APC should not be a mere symbolic move but a transformative one, encouraging him to seize the opportunity to champion a new vision for progressive governance, fairness, and inclusive growth.

Nwoko commended Oborevwori’s decision to join the APC, calling it a courageous move that paves the way for a brighter political future for both Delta State and Nigeria.

The statement read: “You cannot put new wine into old wineskins. The outdated practices, politics, and agreements that contributed to the decline of the PDP in Delta must be left behind.”

“Key among the necessary changes is the creation of two new, viable states: Anioma and New Delta.”

“Let me remind you, this initiative was already firmly in place long before your defection, highlighting the APC’s commitment to addressing historical injustices and ending regional marginalization.”

“Your defection should be more than just a shift in allegiance; it must mark a transformation. This is your chance to embrace a fresh direction and show your renewed dedication to progressive governance, equity, and inclusive development.”

“The establishment of Anioma state will finally provide Delta North with a voice, identity, and the political power it has long deserved. It’s a necessary step to give parity to a people seeking equality.”

“The creation of New Delta will rectify the imbalances within the current state structure, empowering marginalized communities, bringing governance closer to the people, and unlocking new avenues for economic development.”
