A former lawmaker representing Delta North Senatorial District in the Senate, Peter Nwaoboshi has warned the All Progressives Congress (APC) to be wary of, Senator Ned Nwoko.
Nwoko, the incumbent lawmaker representing the Delta North Senatorial District, a Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) member has announced his planned defection to the APC.
Nwaoboshi has consequently warned the APC national caucus to be wary of the pre-conditions reportedly given by Nwoko before defecting to the party.
Naija News reports that Nwoko had officially announced his resignation from the PDP to the APC on Monday, citing frustrations with the leadership of his former party in Delta State.
Reacting in a statement, Nwaoboshi said,“The national leadership should uphold the party’s constitution and democratic processes, rather than succumbing to the whims of individuals seeking to destabilise the party.”
He alleged that the orchestrated moves by Nwoko to defect into Delta APC was self-serving, rather than for patriotic gestures.
“I have been made aware that Senator Ned Nwoko, who recently announced his planned defection, is secretly plotting with some elements in the Presidency to dissolve the Delta State APC executives from state to wards before their tenure expires,” Nwaoboshi stated.
“This move is unacceptable and poses a significant threat to our party’s stability and unity in Delta State,” he added.
He urged Nwoko to refrain from interfering with the Delta APC’s internal affairs and to respect the party’s constitution and democratic processes.
“Any further attempts to destabilise the party will be met with stiff resistance from me and other concerned stakeholders,” Nwaoboshi said.
He urged the party leadership to reject Nwoko’s demand for the dissolution of the state executives.
“As a former senator who represented Delta North Senatorial District from 2015 to 2023 and a leader in the All Progressives Congress (APC), I strongly condemn Nwoko’s attempt to destabilise the Delta State APC.
“His actions are unjust and arrogant, particularly since he is not yet a member of the party. It disregards the democratic principles our party upholds and disrespects the rights of the duly elected members of the Delta State APC executive,” Nwaoboshi added.
