Senator Ned Nwoko has urged the national leadership of the All Progressives Congress (APC) to uphold his victory in the Delta North senatorial primary, claiming he defeated former Delta governor Ifeanyi Okowa in 97 out of 98 wards.
Nwoko said he secured about 123,000 votes against Okowa’s 6,000, and that he has video evidence from across the district. He warned that overturning the result would undermine party members’ confidence and called on the APC to resist pressure from Okowa’s camp.
Key Points:
The dispute could split the APC in Delta North ahead of the 2027 general election.
Video evidence claims raise stakes and may lead to a prolonged legal battle.
Party members’ confidence in the democratic process hangs in the balance with the NWC’s decision.
Okowa’s defection from PDP to APC intensifies internal rivalry for control.
The outcome may affect APC’s chances in Delta State if supporters feel disenfranchised.
The APC National Working Committee must verify the claims and declare a winner, with either camp likely to appeal if dissatisfied.
