Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Ward 8 in Aniocha North Local Government Area of Delta State, Comrade Clement Chiazor, has described Senator Ned Nwoko’s defection from PDP to the All Progressives Congress (APC) as laughable and inconsequential.
Chiazor in a terse statement on Sunday, said Sen. Nwoko was a serial defector and chronicled his movements from the party over the years, adding that his leaving the PDP at this time would have no effect on the party as was the case in the past.
While calling on members of the party in the ward to remain united and not to be bothered or distracted by Sen. Nwoko’s defection, Chiazor said the party had never been affected by his serial defection over the years.
The statement read: “Yesterday, I received a resignation letter from Senator Ned Nwoko leaving the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). PDP Ward 8 is an indivisible, formidable, and united big family.

“Let’s not be distracted. Senator Ned left PDP to APGA in 2003 to contest for governorship position, and PDP didn’t die. Rather, it remains more stronger and united until he later found his way back to PDP again.
“In 2011, Senator Ned Nwoko left PDP again to DPP to contest for Senate position and PDP didn’t collapse. But rather remained more flourishing until he found his way back to PDP for the second time.
“In 2023, PDP came to our rescue and gave Senator Ned Nwoko the mandate to represent the good people of Delta North Senatorial District in the red chamber. Just barely one year and a few months as a senator, he has left the party again to APC. Laughable.
“Therefore, we urge our teeming supporters to remain focused, be formidable, loyal, faithful, and committed to the party, PDP. Let us not be distracted. It pays to be loyal, for every worker has a payday.
“We will continue to chat the way forward for our great party in bringing the much needed infrastructural and human capital development in line with the M.O.R.E agenda of our Governor of Delta State, Sheriff Oborevwori.
“PDP remains the only viable party in Delta North and Delta State in general. God bless our leaders, stakeholders, and our teeming supporters.”
