The representing Delta North Senatorial District, Senator Ned Nwoko, says he has begun efforts to reconcile key political leaders, including former Governor Senator Ifeanyi Okowa and Senator Peter Nwaoboshi, in a bid to strengthen peace and unity within the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State.
Nwoko made this known on Sunday during a meeting with Delta North APC Senatorial Executives, nine local government area chairmen, and 98 ward chairmen at the Asaba residence of the APC Delta North Senatorial Chairman, Ogbueishi Adizue Eluaka.
According to him, “I am for peace and collaboration amongst party leaders in Delta North. Efforts are on to reach out to former governor, Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa and Senator Peter Nwaoboshi. Also, I am in close contact with the state deputy governor (Monday Onyeme). Talks are on for mutual engagement.”
He stressed that harmony and cohesion were central to the growth of the APC and the overall development of Delta North and the state. Nwoko also disclosed his ongoing collaboration with Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s administration, “not only to strengthen the APC but boost good governance for the benefit of the people.”
Highlighting his achievements, the lawmaker listed the provision of social infrastructure such as roads, water, rehabilitation of schools, skill acquisition, and job creation opportunities across Delta communities.
He added that his advocacy had contributed to the upgrade of the Federal College of Education, Asaba, to a full-fledged university and the approval of the Federal University of Agriculture at Ute-Okpu by the Tinubu administration.
“I came to the National Assembly to effect a positive change,” Nwoko said, noting that his bills and motions remain people-centred.
In his remarks, Delta North APC Senatorial Chairman, Ogbueishi Adizue Eluaka, commended Senator Nwoko for his contributions to the growth of the APC and the development of Delta North.
The meeting was attended by the nine local government APC chairmen—Hon. Matthew Chinye (Aniocha North), Hon. Norbert Akachukwu Sochukwudinma (Aniocha South), Hon. Austin C. Nnabuife (Oshimili North), Hon. Dada Okolo (Oshimili South), Hon. Hilary Fada Ibude (Ika South), Hon. Samuel Ekene Kerry (Ika North East), Chief Oputa Kris (Ndokwa East), Hon.
