Delta's Political Shift: The APC Tsunami and the Disintegration of PDP

Tinubu's Anticipation of PDP's Downfall in Delta - Senator Nwoko's Revelation

Ned Nwoko, the Delta North Senator, recently claimed that President Bola Tinubu foresaw the collapse of the PDP in his state back in January. According to reports on our website, Senator Nwoko, who was previously under the PDP banner, switched to the APC.

On Monday, the APC warmly welcomed Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, along with their political structures. APC bigwigs, including the National Chairman, Umar Ganduje, and Vice President Kashim Shettimà, described this mass defection as a tsunami.

In a statement on his Twitter handle, Senator Nwoko revealed that Tinubu had predicted his defection to the APC on New Year’s Day in 2022, stating, "If Senator Ned Nwoko joins the APC, all the red caps will follow him". Since then, the statement has proven to be a reality, as PDP's Delta structure disintegrated, with many loyalists following in Nwoko's footsteps.

Explaining his decision, Nwoko stated that when it became apparent that the PDP wouldn't support his endeavor to create Anioma State within Delta, he defected to the APC. This move, he said, led to the collapse of PDP in the state.

"*"It wasn't a bang. It was a rumble, deep and irreversible. It wasn't business as usual; it was a tectonic shift. It started in Delta North, the traditional game changer of every serious Delta election. From ward to ward, LGA to LGA, the exits rolled in like tide after tide. No coercion, no cash-out frenzy, just resignation letters from loyalists who understood the message. It was organic. It was massive. It was real."

The Senator emphasized that the fall of the PDP in Delta offers critical lessons for the APC, urging them to learn and build with foresight and inclusion to ensure a smooth road ahead.

While the Search results do not explicitly mention Senator Ned Nwoko in relation to Tinubu's political maneuvers, they do provide insights into the broader context. Tinubu's APC strategically absorbed defectors, including those from Delta State, to expand its influence. PDP’s internal crises, such as public support for Tinubu's policies and the 2023 electoral loss partly attributed to Atiku Abubakar's leadership, weakened the party's structure.
