Senator Ned Nwoko, representing Delta North, has urged Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta State to leave behind old political habits following his defection from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the All Progressives Congress (APC).
While Nwoko welcomed Oborevwori’s move in a press statement on Sunday, he cautioned that the governor should avoid bringing practices that had undermined the PDP in the past.
Nwoko emphasised the need for a fresh approach to governance, stating that the transformation should be focused on building a lasting legacy rather than continuing outdated political practices.
AdvertisementHe also reminded the governor that APC had already committed to creating Anioma and New Delta states, a process that had been discussed well before Oborevwori’s defection.
Nwoko argued that these initiatives aimed at addressing long-standing issues of regional imbalance and marginalization in the state, particularly in Delta North.
According to Nwoko, the creation of Anioma state would provide much-needed recognition for the people of Delta North, while the proposed New Delta state would focus on correcting internal imbalances and promoting economic development.
Nwoko advised Oborevwori to ensure his move to the APC was transformative, stating, “Leave behind the politics of survival and step into the politics of legacy. 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.”
He also emphasised that Oborevwori should embrace a new sense of purpose, lead the charge for constitutional reforms, and demonstrate renewed dedication to fairness, inclusive development, and progressive governance.
