Senator Ned Nwoko has alleged that the results of the All Progressives Congress (APC) primaries in Delta North were manipulated, insisting that he was the rightful winner of the exercise.
Speaking during an appearance on an online news programme, Nwoko disputed the outcome of the primaries organised by the All Progressives Congress, which reportedly declared former Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa as the winner.
He claimed to possess video evidence from all 98 wards where the primaries were conducted, saying the materials clearly show that he emerged victorious. He added that he intends to submit the evidence to the party leadership for review.
Nwoko explained that midway through the process, participants were informed that ward-level results would not be announced locally but would instead be collated and declared at the national level.
However, he alleged that the process was later altered, claiming that results from a single ward linked to the former governor were suddenly presented and used to determine the final outcome.
The senator further accused the Delta State Government of colluding in the alleged manipulation of the primary election results, escalating tensions around the disputed exercise.
