Nigerian politician Ned Nwoko is seemingly shutting down reports that he had only three votes in his primary election.
Newsunplug reported that at the All Progressive Congress APC primary for Delta North, in a video circulating online, a man in charge of the primary was seen counting attendees physically for Senator Ifeanyi Okowa and Senator Ned Nwoko.
Supporters of Senator Ifeanyi numbered 6,922, while Senator Nwoko had 3 supporters.
In what seems like a response, Ned shared a video of the massive crowd that came to support him, as he urged the public to wait for the election’s outcome.
He said he felt the presence of people from different wards, local government areas and more. Nwoko noted how they came out in numbers, stood firmly by him, and made their voices heard in a way that leaves no room for doubt.
“I extend my deepest appreciation to the good people of Delta North for the remarkable show of support witnessed across our senatorial district today.
From ward to ward, across all local government areas, your presence was not just seen, it was felt. You came out in your numbers, you stood firm, and you made your voices heard in a way that leaves no room for doubt about where the mandate lies.
What we have witnessed is not ordinary political support. It is a powerful expression of trust, belief, and shared conviction in the future we are building together.
While we await the official declaration from our National Party Committee, the situation on the ground speaks for itself. The outcome, as reflected across the wards, remains overwhelmingly positive and deeply encouraging.
I do not take this show of confidence for granted. It reinforces my commitment to continue to stand for you, to represent you with strength, and to ensure that your voices are never diminished or overlooked”.
