Senator Ned Nwoko, representing Delta North Senatorial District, has resigned from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), citing deep divisions and internal crises within the party.
In a resignation letter dated January 30 and addressed to the PDP Chairman of Ward 8, Aniocha North Local Government Area, Delta State, Nwoko expressed concerns over the party’s growing factionalism, which he said had hindered unity and effective governance.
He stated, “My decision to resign is primarily due to the deep divisions and factionalization within the party. Just this week, on January 29, top party functionaries degenerated into physical fights, exposing the irreconcilable differences within the PDP.”
Nwoko, who serves as the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Reparations and Repatriations, acknowledged the party for providing him a platform to contest the 2023 senatorial election but noted that the PDP’s current structure in Delta State was no longer conducive to fulfilling his campaign promises.
“During my campaign, I made solemn and actionable promises to my constituents. However, the current structure of the PDP in our state has not been conducive to realizing these commitments. After careful consideration, I have decided that stepping away from the party is necessary to fulfill my obligations to my people,” he said.

He assured his constituents of his continued commitment to their welfare and the progress of Delta North, while also extending his gratitude to PDP leaders and members for their support over the years.
“While I bid farewell to my membership in the PDP, I remain dedicated to statesmanship, unity, and the advancement of our people. My decision is rooted in the best interest of those I serve,” Nwoko stressed.
Nwoko’s resignation adds to the growing internal challenges within the PDP, which has recently witnessed several high-profile defections and leadership struggles.
