2027: Sen. Ned Nwoko Has Laid a Solid Foundation for Re-election – Ejiofor, APC Chieftain
BY AUSTIN OYIBODE
Prominent chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC), in Delta State, Chief Emma Ejiofor, has said that Senator Ned Nwoko, representing Delta North Senatorial District has already laid a solid foundation that would warrant his reelection in 2027.
Ejiofor said that with the lawmaker’s transformational and visionary leadership, APC would have a major win for progressive politics in the State comes 2027
Speaking in an exclusive interview, Chief Ejiofor offered a glowing assessment of Senator Nwoko’s leadership, integrity, and long-term vision for his constituents and the broader Anioma region.
According to Ejiofor, Senator Nwoko’s approach to governance is centered not on personal gain but on laying solid foundations for sustainable development.
“Nwoko is not like any other politician. He is pragmatic. He is a visionary leader. He does things that will outlive him,” Chief Ejiofor said.
“He’s not driven by immediate political rewards. He thinks beyond the now, and his loyalty is to the people, not just the system.”
Senator Nwoko, who recently defected from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to the APC, has been at the center of several key infrastructure and developmental initiatives in Delta North.
His move to the ruling party has sparked excitement among APC loyalists, many of whom view his entry as a strengthening of the party’s position ahead of future electoral contests.
Ejiofor highlighted the Senator’s quiet but strategic role in pushing the Oko-Patani Road Project, valued at over N28 billion, into the national budget—a development he said would open up the local economy and provide lasting benefits for communities along the route.
“He’s doing these things without making noise,” Ejiofor noted. “That road alone will change the economy of the region. Add the Okpa Power Plant to that, and you’re looking at long-term, life-changing infrastructure.”
According to Ejiofor, Nwoko’s passion for development stands in stark contrast to politicians who are content with holding office for prestige and personal aggrandizement.
“Some people just wanted him to go there and answer a name. But Ned went to the Senate to organize his people, attract development, and give us a voice at the federal level,” he said. “And that voice is what we’ve been lacking for years.”
Chief Ejiofor also used the opportunity to challenge leaders across Delta—Senators, House of Representatives members, and State Assembly members—to come together in unity and draw up a regional roadmap for development.
He argued that strategic alignment would prevent duplication of efforts and help maximize government resources for the benefit of the people.
“We need a coordinated plan. Let our lawmakers sit together—state and federal—and say: this is our roadmap. This is how we move Anioma forward. That’s the only way we’ll see massive development.”
Ejiofor dismissed critics of Senator Nwoko, describing them as elements resistant to progress and threatened by a new kind of politics that prioritizes transparency, legacy, and results.
“You don’t become a visionary and a transactional leader at the same time,” he said. “Ned is a visionary and progressive leader.”
He added that he had never taken a dime from the Senator, emphasizing that his support is based solely on Nwoko’s character and track records of transparency and integrity.
“I’ve never touched his one Naira. People are against him because he is doing what they couldn’t do. He is not interested in sharing money—he’s interested in building lasting and enduring legacies.”
In a final flourish, Ejiofor described Nwoko as “Odogwu Anioma,” a title that signifies strength, courage, and leadership. He even likened the Senator to artificial intelligence for his forward-thinking approach.
“People are talking about AI. Ned is AI. He’s too advanced for the kind of thinking most of us are used to. He’s already operating on a higher level, and that’s why Anioma State is not just an idea—it’s a done deal.”
As Senator Nwoko settles into his new political home within the APC, his entrance is already beginning to reshape conversations about leadership, development, and the future of the Anioma region.
With strong endorsements from leaders like Chief Ejiofor, the lawmaker’s influence within the party—and across Delta State—is set to grow.
