The Senator representing Delta North Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Ned Nwoko, has strongly denied reports alleging that he accused the All Progressives Congress of betraying him over the Delta North senatorial ticket ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In a statement issued on Tuesday by the Ned Nwoko Media Team, the senator described the publication as entirely false, misleading, and malicious, insisting that he neither granted any interview nor authorised any statement suggesting dissatisfaction with the party or its leadership.
The media team specifically distanced Nwoko from a report circulated by an online media platform which claimed that the lawmaker had expressed frustration and disappointment over alleged political betrayal within the APC concerning the 2027 senatorial contest.
According to the statement, the publication was a deliberate fabrication designed to misinform members of the public and stir unnecessary political tension within the ruling party in Delta State.
“The attention of Senator Ned Munir Nwoko has been drawn to a false and malicious publication alleging that he lamented betrayal by the APC over the Delta North senatorial ticket. The senator wishes to categorically state that he never granted any interview nor authorised anyone to issue such statements on his behalf,” the statement read.
The senator’s media team further described the report as a calculated attempt to create division and suspicion among party stakeholders at a time when the APC in Delta State is focused on strengthening internal unity ahead of future political engagements.
It stressed that Nwoko remains committed to the ideals and objectives of the APC and continues to maintain cordial relationships with party leaders, members, and supporters across the state and the country.
The statement urged the public to disregard the publication entirely, warning against the spread of unverified political reports capable of causing confusion and damaging reputations.
Political observers say the denial comes amid increasing political realignments and heightened activities within parties ahead of the 2027 elections, especially in states where competition for party structures and elective positions is expected to intensify.
Senator Ned Nwoko, a businessman, lawyer, and politician, has remained one of the influential political figures in Delta State politics in recent years. Since his election to the Senate, he has continued to attract public attention through legislative engagements, constituency projects, and national policy discussions.
The lawmaker’s recent political activities and growing profile within the APC have also generated speculation regarding his future ambitions and role within the party’s structure in Delta State.
However, his media team insisted that attempts to portray him as being at odds with the APC leadership were baseless and intended purely for political mischief.
According to the statement, the senator remains focused on delivering effective representation for the people of Delta North and contributing positively to the growth of the party rather than engaging in unnecessary political disputes.
The development highlights the increasing wave of misinformation and politically motivated reports that often accompany preparations for major elections in Nigeria. Analysts note that as political contests draw closer, prominent politicians are likely to face intensified propaganda, speculative reports, and internal power struggles.
Party loyalists in Delta State have meanwhile called for restraint among political actors and supporters, urging members to avoid actions capable of destabilising the APC ahead of the next electoral cycle.
Some APC stakeholders in the state also expressed confidence that the party would remain united despite rumours and speculative publications intended to create friction among leaders and aspirants.
The senator’s camp maintained that all official statements relating to his political activities would continue to be communicated through authorised channels and verified members of his media team.
As political consultations and alignments gradually gather momentum ahead of 2027, observers believe more political narratives and counterclaims may emerge within parties across the country.
For now, Senator Ned Nwoko has firmly rejected the alleged comments attributed to him and reaffirmed his loyalty to the APC, while condemning what he described as a coordinated attempt to sow discord within the party in Delta State.
