NED NWOKO: THE CHAMPION OF ANIOMA STATE – A UNANIMOUS CHOICE FOR NDIGBO IN 2027 DELTA NORTH SENATORIAL ELECTION
In the rapidly evolving political landscape of Delta North, the apex sociocultural organization of the Igbo Nation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, stands resolutely in support of Prince Sen Ned Nwoko as the most suitable candidate for the Senate seat in the upcoming 2027 elections. Senator Nwoko’s unwavering commitment to the Igbo people, coupled with his distinguished track record of integrity, positions him far above any other contenders for such position.
Ohanaeze Ndigbo ardently acknowledges and commends Senator Ned Nwoko’s boldness in embracing and promoting Igbo cultural heritage. His fervent advocacy for the creation of the sixth Igbo state—Anioma State—is not merely a political gesture; it is a heartfelt embodiment of the legitimate aspirations of the Igbo people.
This initiative resonates profoundly across the Igbo diaspora, who remain optimistic that the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu will recognize and address the historical injustices faced by the Igbo nation by facilitating this monumental creation before the 2027 elections. Such a gesture would undoubtedly evoke a robust response of support from the Igbo electorate in the approaching elections
In stark contrast, Ohanaeze Ndigbo hereby calls upon Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa to throw his political weight behind Sen Nwoko in this regard.
While we fully acknowledge his constitutional right to pursue any political office, we must assert that his candidacy for the Senate if he intends, after previously seeking the vice presidency, may be perceived as a notable regression in his political journey. Such a move would not only diminish his stature but also contradict the broader aspirations of the Igbo people, who have long sought authentic leadership that genuinely aligns with their interests
Moreover, it is imperative to address the glaring absence of Dr. Okowa from the sacred endeavors championed by Ohanaeze Ndigbo during his tenure as Governor of Delta State from 2015 to 2023. His consistent avoidance of major Igbo programs and initiatives raises critical questions regarding his commitment to the collective welfare of the Igbo Nation. In the eyes of the Igbo populace, this disassociation has diminished his credibility as a representative of Igbo aspirations, thereby rendering Senator Ned Nwoko’s pro-Igbo stance unequivocally superior in this political equation
“A leader becomes a monumental suspect if his aspirations and conduct is antithetical to the people he claims to lead” Omenazu Jackson.
Ohanaeze Ndigbo firmly declares that there exists no vacancy for the Delta North Senatorial seat in 2027. The Igbo Nation stands united in mobilizing the Anioma people to ensure an overwhelming return of Senator Ned Nwoko to the National Assembly and the Senate Chambers. His political leadership is not merely embraced; it is celebrated and acknowledged as a beacon of hope for our community and as a representative voice for our collective interests.
The current leadership of Ohanaeze stance that all political office holders in Igbo land with be vetted properly is unwavering. The time for third eleven representations is clinically over.
As we approach the 2027 elections, let us rally together in support of Senator Ned Nwoko, a true advocate for the Igbo agenda and a steadfast champion for Anioma State. We trust and believe that his leadership will continue to illuminate the path toward progress and unity for all Ndigbo.
