Senator Ned Nwoko, representing Delta North Senatorial District at the National Assembly, has initiated efforts to foster peace and unity within the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta North and across the state.
Nwoko revealed his plans during a meeting with Delta North Senatorial Executives, the nine local government area chairman, and 98 ward chairmen of the APC in the district on Tuesday. The meeting was held at the Asaba residence of the Delta North APC Senatorial Chairman, Ogbueshi Adizue Eluaka.
According to Nwoko:
“I am for peace and collaboration among party leaders in Delta North. Efforts are ongoing to reach out to former governor, Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, and Senator Peter Nwaoboshi. I am also in close contact with the state deputy governor, Monday Onyeme, and talks are on for mutual engagement.”
The senator explained that he has been collaborating with the state government under Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, not only to strengthen the APC but also to promote good governance for the benefit of the people.
Nwoko highlighted his contributions to Delta communities, including road construction, water projects, school rehabilitation, skill acquisition, and job creation. He also noted his advocacy for upgrading the Federal College of Education, Asaba, into 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 positive change. My development initiatives—including bills and motions—are people-centred,” he said.
In his remarks, Delta North APC Senatorial Chairman, Ogbueshi Adizue Eluaka, thanked Nwoko for his contributions to the growth of the party and the development of the district.
The meeting was attended by APC executive members and the nine LGA chairmen of Delta North: 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.
