Along with his defection, Nwoko, in a letter read by Senate President Godswill Akpabio, called for the establishment of an ad hoc committee to investigate the ongoing crisis within the PDP.
He stressed the importance of a strong opposition to maintain Nigeria’s political balance and ensure a fair democratic system.
