Since his inauguration into the 10th Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Senator Prince Ned Munir Nwoko has brought intellect, intensity, and unmistakable presence to national discourse. Representing Delta North Senatorial District, his emergence in the red chambers was driven by the collective conviction of the Anioma people — a people who sought not just representation, but results. Two years on, that conviction has translated into visible leadership, bold advocacy, and deliberate action. What distinguishes Senator Nwoko is not only the breadth of his interventions, but the clarity of his purpose. He arrived at the Senate with a defined…

The attention of concerned Legacy APC stakeholders in Delta North has been drawn to the recent interview granted by Mr. Norbert Sochukwudinma on Arise TV, wherein he falsely claimed that there was no manipulation in the Delta North APC primaries and accused Senator Ned Nwoko of lying. We state categorically that Mr. Sochukwudinma’s statements are misleading, self-serving, and contradict the verifiable facts on ground: 1. No Electoral Legitimacy: Mr. Sochukwudinma has never won his unit or ward since joining politics. A man who cannot secure a vote in his own polling unit lacks the moral standing to speak for APC…

21st May, 2026 The political theatrics that trailed the recently concluded Delta Central APC Senatorial Primaries have been an astonishing and embarrassing dimension following the contradictory actions of Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, who publicly declared himself the winner of the exercise, yet hurriedly rushed to file an appeal before the Senatorial Appeal Committee sitting in Asaba. This became laughable, especially when the rightful winner of the primaries, Senator Ede Dafinone, was duly announced by the officials of the APC sent from Abuja to conduct the elections. This development has exposed what many political stakeholders in Delta State term a paradoxical fiasco,…
