Ned Nwoko Opens Up on Promises He Received After Painful APC Primaries Defeat
Ned Nwoko Opens Up on Promises He Received After Painful APC Primaries Defeat. Senator Ned Nwoko, the estranged husband of Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, has finally spoken openly about the shocking defeat he suffered during the recent APC primaries in Delta North.
The billionaire politician, who was expected by many supporters to secure victory comfortably, lost heavily to former Delta State governor Ifeanyi Okowa during the contest. The outcome immediately sparked massive reactions online because of how unexpected the result appeared to many Nigerians.
Following days of silence and online criticism, Ned Nwoko has now revealed what he claims he was promised before joining the All Progressives Congress and participating in the primaries. His comments have since generated fresh debate across social media and political circles.
How Ned Nwoko lost the APC primaries
The APC primaries in Delta North became one of the biggest political talking points after the results showed former governor Ifeanyi Okowa defeating Ned Nwoko by a massive margin.
According to reports, Okowa secured 4,462 votes while Ned Nwoko reportedly managed only three votes during the exercise. The result shocked many supporters of the senator, especially considering his popularity online and public influence.
Videos from the primary election later surfaced online showing long queues allegedly supporting Okowa while only a few individuals appeared around Nwoko’s camp. The clips quickly went viral, with many Nigerians mocking the politician online.
Some users even compared the situation to celebrity popularity contests, while others questioned how a serving senator could record such a poor result during a party primary.
Ned Nwoko breaks silence
Reacting to the outcome, Ned Nwoko stated that things did not happen as expected behind the scenes. According to him, several promises allegedly made to him before he joined the APC were never fulfilled.
The senator claimed that party leaders had earlier assured him there would be discussions about restructuring the party after new members joined. He also alleged that there were promises about dissolving the state executive structure to give older APC members more influence within the party.
According to Nwoko, none of those promises eventually happened.
The politician also revealed that he was allegedly promised an automatic ticket before joining the party. However, he claimed the agreement changed later, forcing him to participate fully in the primary contest.
His comments immediately sparked reactions online, with many Nigerians debating whether political promises can truly be trusted.
Nwoko rejects the result
Despite the official outcome, Ned Nwoko insisted that he actually won the primary election in several areas. He claimed he possesses evidence, including videos, which he believes support his position.
According to him, the official figures announced do not reflect what truly happened during the voting process.
The senator also expressed confidence that the APC national leadership would eventually review the situation and examine his complaints properly.
His statement has added even more controversy to an election that was already generating heavy public attention.

Social media reacts heavily
As expected, Nigerians reacted massively after Ned Nwoko’s interview surfaced online.
Some people sympathized with him, saying politics is filled with betrayal and broken promises. According to them, powerful politicians are often sidelined once alliances change within political parties.
Others, however, mocked the senator openly. Several users argued that politics cannot be won through social media popularity alone and claimed the result exposed his true political strength on the ground.
A few people also connected the situation to his personal life and past controversies involving Regina Daniels, with some claiming the politician had been facing public image challenges for months.
