Senior Special Assistant to the All Progressives Congress, APC, National Chairman on Local Government Affairs, Norbert Sochukwudinma has berated Delta North Senator, Ned Nwoko, over his outburst after losing the party’s return ticket.
Sochukwudinma said in an interview on Arise Television’s ‘Prime Time’ on Wednesday that Nwoko did not participate in the party but expected to win.
Remember that Nwoko lost the primary election to the immediate past governor of the state, Ifeanyi Okowa.
Nwoko, on the other hand, had alleged that the State Government manipulated the results of the APC primaries in the region, claiming he was the rightful winner of the primary election.
Reacting, Sochukwudinma said, “Nwoko shunned the party and anticipated victory.
“Anyone who wants to win an election has to deal with the party structures but he did not consult the nine local government party chairmen or leaders.
“APC members who have their card are the only ones eligible to vote and party politics is not show business.
“Based on the evidence on ground, Senator Ned Nwoko was clearly defeated and some of the results circulating on the social media were doctored and not official.
“In fact, I was surprised he even got over 2,000 votes.”
