A viral video popped up on Monday afternoon, May 18, 2026, showing just three people in a queue to vote for him while his rival, former Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa, attracted a significantly longer and almost uncountable line of supporters.
The video, which has since sparked widespread reactions online, showed a stark contrast between the two contenders, with Okowa's queue stretching far beyond what the camera could capture, while Nwoko's corner appeared nearly deserted.
Following the video, reports from Nigeria initially indicated that Nwoko had polled only three votes while his opponent had 6,992.

However, it turned out that it was only the result of Ute-Okpu Ward 9.

Other results showed an overwhelming victory for Okowa, including Deputy Governor Onyeme's Ward, where he polled 2,150 votes against Nwoko's 97, and Okpanam Ward 9, where Okowa got 4,462, and Nwoko got 1.
According to Ossai Ovie Success, the Senior Special Assistant to the Delta State Governor, who shared real-time results on his Facebook, Nwoko, the incumbent Delta North Senator, received only 2612 votes, with Okowa garnering a whopping 113,309. A third candidate, Maryam Alli, polled 40 votes.

Social media users were quick to mock the development, with many noting that the handful of people spotted in Nwoko's queue may not have fully understood what they were participating in.
Others used the moment to draw comparisons with celebrity barman Cubana Chief Priest, who also contested at an APC primary and was said to have fared better than Nwoko.
Some commenters also referenced the politician's recent high-profile divorce from Nollywood actress Regina Daniels, with fans joking that Daniels had reclaimed her glory while her ex-husband faced public embarrassment on the political stage.
Nwoko and Daniels ended their marriage earlier this year following a messy public fallout in which the actress alleged she had been subjected to abuse. Both parties subsequently traded allegations against each other across social media platforms.
