The senator representing Delta North in the National Assembly, Ned Nwoko, has stated that his decision to leave the Peoples Democratic Party was influenced by the party’s opposition to the creation of Anioma State.
Nwoko, speaking in Asaba on Monday, explained, “I left because I want to be able to get the support of the ruling party in the creation of Anioma State. The governor and former governor, who are the leaders of the PDP, are against the creation of Anioma State.”
Nwoko revealed that despite his efforts to seek support from the PDP national leadership, members of the National Working Committee were embroiled in internal disputes, unable to provide the necessary leadership for the cause.
He further criticised the lack of funding for some projects he had promised his constituency during his electioneering campaign.
