Nigerian senator, Ned Nwoko, has stirred reactions online after claiming he was promised an automatic ticket before joining the ruling All Progressives Congress but was later betrayed.
Speaking during a recent political discussion, Nwoko expressed disappointment over how events unfolded after his move to the party.
“I was promised automatic ticket before I joined APC but they betrayed me,” he said.
The statement immediately sparked mixed reactions on social media, with many Nigerians mocking the situation while others argued that political promises are rarely guaranteed.
Several users joked about the senator’s frustration, describing it as a taste of internal party politics.
“Men cry too,” one user reacted humorously.
Another wrote: “APC na promise and fail. Both to the politicians and masses.”
Some commenters also argued that politicians who defect for personal political gains should expect such outcomes.
“If he wanted a better Nigeria, he would have rejected such offer instead of joining the bandwagon,” another user wrote.
Others linked the development to the growing tensions and dissatisfaction reportedly surrounding recent party primaries and internal negotiations ahead of future elections.
