No Rift Between Sen. Nwoko and Gov Oborevwori on Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda – APC Chieftain

A chieftain of the All Progressive Congress APC in Delta State, Chief Emmanuel Eboh, has dismissed speculation of a rift between Governor Sheriff Oborevwori and Senator Ned Nwoko representing Delta North in the National Assembly, saying that the senator will continue to remain a major stakeholder in advancing the Governor’s ‘M.O.R.E. Agenda’.

Chief Eboh noted that the senator who has maintained a “long-standing, cordial, and mutually respectful” relationships with the governor, would continue to work to advance the ‘MORE Agenda’ in Delta, and also ensure the success of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s ‘Renewed Hope vision’.

Speaking at a media briefing in Abuja, Eboh stressed that Nwoko’s contributions go beyond legislative duties in Delta North, noting that he has mobilized and will continue to mobilise significant personal resources and public goodwill to support Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s administration.

He said this dual commitment to the progress of the state and the national underscores the senator’s political significance.

Eboh dismissed speculation of a rift between the governor and the senator, describing their relationship as “long-standing, cordial, and mutually respectful”

He traced their relationship back to the 1990s when Nwoko was practicing law in London, saying “Both personalities are working together,” for the good of the state.

He added that any counsel Nwoko has given to the state government has been in good faith, aimed at improving governance.

He warned against what he called the “mischief and sycophancy” of individuals seeking political favour by misrepresenting the senator’s advocacy.

Citing the senator’s strong alignment with public opinion and referencing recent commentary by Channels TV’s Seun Okinbaloye on Delta politics, Eboh reiterated that Nwoko’s voice carries weight among opinion leaders.

Eboh also recalled that on June 14, 2025, at Nwoko’s Idumuje Ugboko residence, the first and most notable APC endorsement of both President Tinubu and Governor Oborevwori ahead of 2027 took place, a gesture he described as “a bold testament of Nwoko’s good intentions.”

“His Excellency , Rt. Hon. Sheriff Oborevwori and distinguished Senator Ned Nwoko are good friends. In the whole of Delta state, the first and the most outstanding APC endorsement of President Bola Tinubu,Oborevwori as well as Nwoko so far, ahead of 2027, happened at the senator’s residence at Idumuje Ugboko on the 14th of June 2025. That stands as a bold testament of Nwoko’s good intentions” Eboh noted.
