A Delta APC chieftain, Engr. Emmanuel Eboh, has dispelled rumors that Senator Ned Nwoko, representing the Delta North Senatorial District at the National Assembly, is contemplating leaving the All Progressives Congress, (APC).
Engr. Eboh, in a swift reaction to speculation on a viral picture where a Delta North APC stalwart, Chief Emma Ejiofor, reportedly visited Rotimi Amaechi, former Governor of Rivers State and member of the African Democratic Party, (ADC), said the meeting, if true, had nothing to do with the Senator.
He noted that while courtesy visits remained a routine among politicians of divergent party affiliations, Senator Nwoko was unaware of the purported meeting between Amaechi and Ejiofor.
The APC chieftain, who is Senator Nwoko’s Special Adviser on Political Matters, emphasized that attempts by detractors to interpret the meeting as preparation for his defection were mischievous and futile political intrigues.
According to the statement:
“Distinguished Senator Ned Nwoko is a faithful APC stalwart. He remains firm in support of His Excellency, President Bola Tinubu, the national leader of our party. He is totally committed to the president’s Renewed Hope Agenda and good governance in Delta.
“It is laughable for any one to suggest that Ned is preparing to leave APC. To where? A wise man who saw tomorrow and triggered political tsunami in the whole of Delta state. How can the first prominent political leader to move to APC leave a house he helped to build? Senator Nwoko stands in APC”.
Chief Eboh further stated that Senator Nwoko was not oblivious of negative propaganda endlessly contrived against him, but noted that he would remain focused in his sterling legislative duties which had earned him much admiration and respect.
