The Ned Nwoko Media Team has dismissed media reports claiming that Senator Ned Nwoko (APC–Delta North) accused the All Progressives Congress (APC) of betrayal over the loss of the Delta North Senatorial District ticket.

The media team, in a statement issued on Tuesday, described the reports as false and misleading.

It also disowned a press statement purportedly issued by Nwoko, insisting that it did not emanate from the senator or his media team.

The team said Nwoko had neither granted any interview, issued any statement, nor authorised any release making such claims.

“Our attention has been drawn to a false, misleading and malicious article attributed to the Okowa media team, claiming that Senator Prince Ned Nwoko ‘cried out’ over an alleged betrayal by the All Progressives Congress (APC) and the loss of the Delta North senatorial ticket.

“We state categorically that this statement and press release did not emanate from Senator Ned Nwoko or his media team, and that the senator has not granted any interview, issued any statement, or authorised any release making such claims.

“The publication was fabricated to mislead the public and create unnecessary tension within the APC in Delta.

“Senator Ned Nwoko remains a committed and loyal member of the APC. Since joining the party, he has worked with the leadership at both state and national levels to strengthen the party in Delta North and across the state.

“He continues to support the party’s processes and structures. The narrative of ‘betrayal’ and ‘power-sharing agreements’ is false and designed to incite division.

“Senator Nwoko believes in due process, party supremacy and internal democracy. He does not engage in blackmail or public outbursts to address party matters. Any grievance, where it exists, is handled through the appropriate party channels,” the media team said.

The team advised the public to disregard the article entirely, describing it as a product of political mischief allegedly orchestrated by the Okowa media team to sow discord ahead of the 2027 elections.

“Senator Nwoko will not be distracted by propaganda. He is focused on delivering results for the people of Delta North and supporting President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope agenda at the national level.

“He remains open to working with all party members, old and new, to build a stronger APC in Delta.

“We urge media outlets and the public to verify information through the official channels of Senator Ned Nwoko before publication.

“Legal action is being considered against those responsible for this defamatory publication,” the team added.
