Senator representing Delta North, Ned Nwoko, has asked Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State to leave old habits of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, behind as he joined the ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
Nwoko gave the charge in a statement following Oborevwori’s defection, advising him to ensure his move to the APC is transformative.
While he applauded the governor for dumping the PDP, Nwoko urged him to leave behind old deals that destroyed the opposition party in Delta State.
“Leave behind the politics of survival and step into the politics of legacy.No one pours new wine into old wineskins. Old habits, old politics, and the old deals that led to the gradual decline of the PDP in Delta must be left behind,” he said.
According to him, the APC has already commenced preparing for constitutional amendments, including the creation of Anioma and New Delta states.
“Let me remind you, this agenda was declared a done deal by the party leadership long before your defection, a testament to the APC’s commitment to correcting historical imbalances and ending regional marginalisation,”; he said.
The senator charged Oborevwori to embrace a new sense of purpose, lead the charge for constitutional reforms and demonstrate renewed dedication to fairness, inclusive development, and progressive governance.
