Senior Special Assistant to the All Progressives Congress, APC, National Chairman on Local Government Affairs, Norbert Sochukwudinma, has lashed out at Delta North Senator, Ned Nwoko, over his outburst after losing the party’s return ticket.
Speaking during an interview on Arise Television’s ‘Prime Time’ on Wednesday, Sochukwudinma said Nwoko stayed away from the party but expected victory.
Recall that Nwoko lost the primary election to the immediate past governor of the state, Ifeanyi Okowa.
Meanwhile, Nwoko had alleged that the results of the APC primaries in the region were manipulated by the State Government, claiming that he was the rightful winner of the primary election.
Responding, Sochukwudinma said, “Nwoko stayed away from the party and expected victory.
Anyone seeking to win an election must engage with party structures, yet he never consulted the nine local government party chairmen or leaders.
“Only card-carrying APC members are eligible to vote, and party politics is not show business.
“From the available evidence, Senator Ned Nwoko was clearly defeated, and some of the results circulated online were fabricated and not official.
“In fact, I was surprised he even secured over 2,000 votes.”
