Senator Ned Nwoko, representing Delta North, has called on Governor Sheriff Oborevwori to leave behind what he described as the “old habits” of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), following the governor’s recent defection to the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
In a statement issued after Oborevwori’s move, Senator Nwoko welcomed the decision but emphasised that genuine transformation must accompany the shift in political allegiance.
He urged the governor to abandon the political practices that, according to him, contributed to the PDP’s decline in Delta State.
“Leave behind the politics of survival and step into the politics of legacy. No one pours new wine into old wineskins. Old habits, old politics, and the old deals that led to the gradual decline of the PDP in Delta must be left behind,” Nwoko stated.
Highlighting the APC’s ongoing efforts towards constitutional reform, the senator noted that proposals for the creation of Anioma and New Delta states were already under discussion within the party.
“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 marginalisation,” he said.
