Nwoko disclosed this at the weekend in Idumuje Ugboko, Anicha North local government area of the State.

LEADERSHIP reports that Nwoko, elected on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), had recently defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC), citing leadership crisis in his former party.

The businessman-turned-lawmaker said the offerings from the governor were not directly beneficial to his constituents.

He expressed his dissatisfaction with the offer, stating that the funds should be used for the people rather than for self-interest as he said his primary goal as a Senator was to improve the lives of his constituents.

“I am dissatisfied with the offer. I won’t accept the offer of a Land Cruiser and N10 million monthly from the governor. The funds should be used for the people rather than for self-interest. My primary goal as a Senator is to improve the lives of my constituents,” Nwoko stated.

The Senator lamented that the PDP in Delta State focused on self-perpetuation in power, which he said had deprived Delta of real political competition.

While declaring that the 25-year reign of the PDP in Delta State will come to an end in the 2027 general elections, he accused PDP leaders of prioritising their personal interests and power retention over the well-being of the people.

Expressing excitement about joining the APC, Nwoko criticised the PDP for allegedly holding Delta State “hostage” for a quarter of a century, claiming that the state had failed to experience the necessary development for meaningful economic growth.

Nwoko, who chairs the Senate Committee on Reparations and Repatriation and the Senate Ad-hoc Committee investigating Crude Oil Theft in the Niger Delta, stated that the PDP’s control of the state had left the people with no choice but to endure stagnation.

“Imagine 25 years of PDP in Delta; there has been no competition. For them, it’s business as usual,” he said.

Contrasting the situation with the political practices in the United States, where power alternates between parties to ensure progress. Nwoko vowed to end the “slavery” in Delta State, announcing that he had found an alternative platform in the APC.

Nwoko believed that establishing Anioma State will free Delta North from the constraints of PDP governance and bring greater autonomy and opportunities to the region.

He criticised the state government’s reluctance to support the creation of Anioma State, accusing PDP leaders of brainwashing the people and preventing open discussions on the matter.

Despite this, Nwoko expressed confidence that with the support of APC leaders at both state and federal levels, Anioma State would eventually be realised, ensuring freedom for Delta people.
