ASABA/Nigeria: Senator Ned Nwoko, representing Delta North in the National Assembly, will continue to play a major role in advancing the Delta State Government’s M.O.R.E. Agenda, Delta North APC chieftain Chief Emmanuel Eboh has said.
He also noted that while working to drive the MORE Agenda in Delta, the senator is equally committed to the success of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope vision.
Speaking at a media briefing in Abuja, Eboh emphasized that Nwoko’s contributions go beyond legislative duties in Delta North, adding that he has mobilized — and will continue to mobilize — significant personal resources and public goodwill to support Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s administration.
He said this dual commitment to state and national progress underscores the senator’s political significance.
Eboh dismissed speculation of a rift between the governor and the senator, describing their relationship as “long-standing, cordial, and mutually respectful.”
He traced their friendship back to the 1990s when Nwoko was practicing law in London, stating that “both personalities are working together” for the good of the state.
He stressed that any counsel Nwoko has given to the state government has been in good faith, with the sole aim of improving governance.
Eboh also warned against what he called “the mischief and sycophancy” of individuals seeking political favour by misrepresenting the senator’s advocacy.
Citing the senator’s strong alignment with public opinion and referencing recent commentary by Channels TV’s Seun Okinbaloye on Delta politics, Eboh reiterated that Nwoko’s voice carries weight among opinion leaders.
He recalled that on June 14, 2025, at Nwoko’s Idumuje Ugboko residence, the first and most notable APC endorsement of both President Tinubu and Governor Oborevwori ahead of 2027 took place — a gesture he described as “a bold testament of Nwoko’s good intentions.”
“His Excellency, Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori, and Distinguished Senator Ned Nwoko are good friends. In the whole of Delta State, the first and most outstanding APC endorsement of President Bola Tinubu, Oborevwori, as well as Nwoko ahead of 2027, happened at the senator’s residence at Idumuje Ugboko on June 14, 2025. That stands as a bold testament of Nwoko’s good intentions,” Eboh said.
