Senator Ned Nwoko, representing Delta North, has urged Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori to shed the “old habits” of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) as he transitions to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Following Oborevwori’s defection, Nwoko, in a statement directed at the governor, advised him to ensure his move to the APC brings about significant change.
While commending the governor’s decision to leave the PDP, he cautioned him against carrying over “old deals” that contributed to the party’s decline in Delta State.

“Leave behind the politics of survival and step into the politics of legacy,” Nwoko stated. “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.”
Nwoko also asserted that the APC has already initiated preparations for constitutional amendments, including the establishment 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.
He implored Oborevwori to embrace a new sense of purpose, champion constitutional reforms, and demonstrate a renewed commitment to fairness, inclusive development, and progressive governance.
“Your defection must not be symbolic; it must be transformative. This is your opportunity to embrace a new sense of purpose and demonstrate renewed dedication to progressive governance, fairness, and inclusive development,” Nwoko emphasized.
He further stated that “The creation of Anioma state will finally give voice, identity, and institutional power to the aspirations of Delta North. It is a long overdue recognition of a people who have sought parity with their kinsmen. “The proposed New Delta will address the deep internal asymmetries within the current Delta state structure. It will empower neglected communities, bring government closer to the people, and unlock new paths for economic growth.”
