The member representing Aniocha North Constituency in the 8th Delta State House of Assembly, Hon. Engr. Emeka Emmanuel Nwaobi has described the Senator representing Delta North Senatorial District at the National Assembly, Senator Prince Ned Nwoko as a pride of Aniocha North Local Government Area of Delta State.
Nwaobi made the statement while speaking about the Senator at his Inauguration Reception otherwise christened the Grand Ball Reception at the countryhome of the Senator at Idumuje-Ugboko in Aniocha North LGA, on Sunday 18th June, 2023.
The lawmaker who referred to Prince Ned Nwoko as his elder brother, leader and mentor in whom he was well pleased, affirmed that the Aniocha North people were happy to have him represent the good people of Delta North at the Hallowed Chambers of the Senate in the National Assembly, Abuja.
According to Nwaobi, “We have all gathered here to celebrate a man who has made us proud, a man who has traversed the length and breadth of the world and a man whose name is a household name globally. My brother and leader Prince Ned Nwoko is indeed a political colossus with impeccable track records in international politics and legal business.
“Nigeria knows him. He has been a saviour of Nigeria in recent times, and the history he has made by saving Nigeria from one of its worst economic recessions remains unprecedented, even for many years to come.
“Today, the entire Anioma Nation and by extension, Delta State, is celebrating him for bringing honour to our great party the PDP, by being the only PDP Senator from the State as it stands. I am exceedingly happy to be the host House of Assembly lawmaker, welcoming my brothers and sisters from the other Constituencies of Delta North as we gather to celebrate our brother and leader, Prince Ned Nwoko.
“Thank you for coming, God richly bless you. And for our leader the Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, it is our prayer that God continues to guide, protect and endow you with the wisdom to satisfy the yearnings of your people through attracting dividends of democracy from the Federal level”, Nwaobi said.
It is on record that while the political environment in Delta North was still very quiet with regards to the issue of Senate representation, Hon. Nwaobi took the bull by its horn, urging his brother Prince Ned Nwoko to take the bold step to declare for Senate.
Using the platform of his Anioma Youth Group, he persisted through private messages and media hypes until the well established Star Prince of Anioma, Ned Nwoko announced his aspiration to run for the office of the Senator for Delta North Senatorial District.
Today is history as Ned Nwoko was not only favoured with landslide victory at the poll, but had also been duly inaugurated as Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria on the platform of the People’s Democratic Party, PDP.
