Chief Emma Ejiofor, a prominent member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta North, has voiced strong support for Senator Ned Nwoko’s potential defection to the APC, asserting that opposition to Nwoko’s move is likely driven by personal interests or hidden agendas.
Speaking on LeapTV, Ejiofor highlighted that Nwoko’s entry into the APC would bolster the party’s influence in Delta State, especially as the region now boasts three APC senators, giving the party a strategic edge.
While noting that Senator Nwoko is still consulting widely before making a final decision, Ejiofor assured that APC members in Delta North are ready to welcome him.
He described Nwoko as a team player with a deep understanding of the political landscape in the region and emphasized that if Nwoko’s current party no longer serves the interests of his constituents, seeking a platform that prioritizes their needs is a logical step.
Ejiofor also addressed concerns about politicians switching parties, pointing out that many members of the APC, Labour Party, and other parties were once affiliated with the PDP before changing their allegiances.
He praised Nwoko as a strategic and skilled politician capable of navigating the political terrain effectively to achieve goals for his people.
On the creation of Anioma State, Ejiofor expressed strong support, stating that it would bring governance and development closer to the people of Delta North.
He argued that the creation of new states enhances local governance and development, and Anioma’s creation would be a significant step forward for the region.
Addressing resistance to Senator Nwoko’s potential defection, Ejiofor attributed it to entrenched political figures who fear losing their control over the political landscape.
He argued that such resistance stems from a desire to maintain the status quo rather than embrace new voices and ideas.
Ejiofor expressed confidence in the APC’s readiness to take control of Delta State in the 2027 elections.
He stressed the importance of inclusivity and the will of the people in determining the region’s future.
