Delta APC primary: The result was manipulated, I have evidence — Ned Nwoko

Senator Ned Nwoko has alleged that the All Progressives Congress APC primary election in Delta North was manipulated, insisting that he actually won the contest.

Nwoko claimed that the results of the primaries were influenced by the Delta State Government, despite what he described as clear evidence showing his victory.

The former Delta State governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, was declared winner of the APC primary election in the region.

However, speaking during an interview on Arise News, Nwoko rejected the outcome, maintaining that he emerged victorious in the exercise.

According to him, “The APC primaries for Delta North were conducted across 98 wards. I possess video evidence from each ward demonstrating that I won the election, and I intend to present it to the party,” he said.

Nwoko further alleged that officials later announced that results would no longer be declared at the ward level, adding that contestants were told the final results would be announced at the national level.

He expressed disappointment over the process, claiming that the eventual result used to declare the winner came from a single ward allegedly linked to Okowa.

“We were abruptly given a result from a single ward that is closely associated with the former governor, and this result was utilized as the basis for declaring the winner.

“The governor of Delta State is colluding with Senator Okowa,” he said.
