Arising from a strategic meeting of the All Progressives Congress(APC) held in Issele Uku, Aniocha North Local Government Area of Delta State on Wednesday, leaders of the party in the locality have passed a vote of implicit confidence on the senator representing Delta North District, Senator Ned Nwoko.
The vote of implicit confidence on Senator Nwoko is coming on the heels of his yeoman efforts in campaigning for the creation of Anioma State out of Delta State.
In her remarks, a former Delta State Commissioner for Micro Credit, Dr. Anthonia Ashiedu, praised Senator Nwoko for his consistency.
“We have a duty to support our Senator, and we have a duty to support Anioma. Wherever you find yourself, whether in church, at the market, or in village meetings, talk about Anioma and why we need our own state. We are too unique to be diminished, no matter where we are,” she posited.
Going further, she stated: “Senator Ned is more than just a senator; he is a blessing to Aniocha North and the entire Anioma. He is our first senator, and thankfully, the type we can proudly brag about. We must not take him for granted or allow this moment to slip through our fingers.
“Show me one leader from this locality who has the kind of access to the President that Senator Ned has, there’s none! We must not toy with what we have. Let’s protect him, let’s shield him from harm. Now that he’s strong and ready to do the work, we must stand firmly behind him. ”
In his speech Senator Nwoko stressed: “I appreciate your sacrifices in building and sustaining this party through thick and thin. Whatever I tolerated in the past, from where I’m coming, that gave room for disrespect and sabotage will no longer be allowed. The APC is one family. But for the record, if there’s ever any talk of factions, I am with Mr. President.”
