During the Clone Wars, Nudo served on the Separatist Council, the board of executives that funded and governed the Confederacy of Independent Systems under Count Dooku and General Grievous.

Expanded Universe -
The Aqualish of Ando have fostered a disdain for the Republic for decades. Upon first contact, violence broke out between the Republic and Andoan natives. The Republic initiated a demilitarization of the Andoan people for which the Aqualish have long been resentful.
When a flurry of secessions began spreading throughout the galaxy, sparked by Count Dooku and his growing Separatist movement, the planet Ando left the Republic. Po Nodu brought his resource rich world and holdings into the Separatist fold, even though other Aqualish colonies were very critical of the move and remained loyal to the Republic.
