Senator Ned Nwoko claims he was promised an automatic APC ticket before joining the party but was later betrayed.His statement comes days after he lost the APC Senatorial ticket for Delta North to former Governor of the state, Ifeanyi Okowa.
Ned defected from the PDP to the APC in January 2025 citing deep divisions and fractionalization within the PDP as the primary reasons for his decision to leave the party, stating that the growing factions had become irreconcilable.
