Ned Nwoko: Defiant senator insists on ‘controversial’ Delta APC primary victory over Okowa, claims ‘solid evidence’ of triumph

Ned Nwoko, who represents Delta North Senatorial District, has alleged that the outcome of the All Progressives Congress (APC) primaries in the area was manipulated by the state government.

He insisted that he was the legitimate winner of the primary election, contrary to the declared result.

Recalls that former Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, was announced as the winner of the APC primary for the senatorial ticket.

However, speaking during an interview on Arise News, Ned Nwoko rejected the outcome, insisting that he had sufficient evidence to prove his victory.

He claimed that the primaries were conducted across 98 wards and that he has video recordings from each ward showing he won the contest, which he intends to present to the party for review.

According to him, midway through the exercise, participants were informed that results would no longer be announced at ward level.

He further explained that they were told the final declaration would be made at the national level, with expectations that due process would be followed.

Ned Nwoko, however, alleged that the final result presented was based on figures from a single ward allegedly linked to the former governor, which was then used to declare the winner.

He also accused the Delta State governor of colluding with Senator Okowa to influence the outcome of the primaries.
