Delta North APC Primary: Only Three People Voted for Ned Nwoko as Okowa Cruises to Victory
Fresh political drama erupted in Delta State after reports claimed former governor Ifeanyi Okowa overwhelmingly defeated Senator Ned Nwoko in the APC Delta North senatorial primary. A viral video of the exercise showed officials physically counting supporters for each candidate. Okowa’s camp reportedly had about 6,922 people, while Nwoko’s side had just three in attendance. Later figures alleged that Okowa polled 113,309 votes to Nwoko’s 2,612 and Maryam Alli’s 40. Senator Nwoko thanked his supporters and said he’s awaiting official confirmation from the APC national committee. Many Nigerians are asking: did Nwoko lose grassroots support in Delta North, or was the outcome pre-determined? What does this result mean for his political future?
