Accompanied by Ambassador Dele Omenogor, former House of Representatives member, Mr. Pascal Adigwe, and others, the Senatorial hopeful said Delta North will regain its lost glory if he is given the chance.

He said he is not into politics to acquire wealth, but strictly to attract development to his people and area.

He kicked against money politics, advising the electorates to support politicians that have the interest of the area at heart.

He said that he will not be a lawmaker and at the same time a contractor, promising that he will ensure that his qualified constituents execute any contract that comes up so that they can have a sense of belonging.

Nwoko said that 23 years of democracy was enough for the people to know him, going by his records at the House of Representatives.

Responding, the chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Aniocha South Local Government Area, Prince Mike Okwufulueze described Nwoko as a man well known to the people of Aniocha South.

He said that the people were aware of Nwoko’s philanthropic gestures, and his efforts in the Paris Club Refund.
