Nwoko’s move has been seen as a significant blow to the PDP in Delta State, particularly Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa.
The PDP has been struggling to maintain its dominance in the state, and Nwoko’s defection has further weakened its position.
The APC, on the other hand, has welcomed Nwoko’s defection, with the party’s national chairman, Dr. Abdullahi Ganduje, hailing him as a valuable addition to the party. Nwoko’s defection is seen as a significant boost to the APC’s chances in the 2027 elections.
The PDP has, however, downplayed Nwoko’s defection, with the party’s leaders in Delta State describing it as insignificant. The party has also vowed to retrieve the senatorial mandate from Nwoko, citing his defection as a betrayal of the party’s trust.
The 2027 elections in Delta State are expected to be highly contested, with the APC and PDP engaging in a fierce battle for control of the state. Nwoko’s defection has added a new dimension to the election, and it remains to be seen how it will impact the outcome.
