Senator Nwaoboshi Suspended For Anti-party Activities

Senator Peter Nwaoboshi

The State Working Committee (SWC) of the Delta State Chapter of the Peoples  Democratic Party (PDP), has suspended Senator Peter Nwaoboshi who is representing Delta North Senatorial District in the National Assembly.

In a statement released on Wednesday June 23 by the party's spokesperson in Delta State, Ifeanyi Osuoza, the senator was accused of engaging in anti-party activities.

Senator Nwaoboshi's suspension is expected to last for a period of one month. According to the party, there’s no doubt that the attacks by Senator Nwaoboshi, a serving Senator and a very recent Chairman of the Party, are potentially inimical to the peace and harmony of the Party and tantamount to causing discord and disaffection among loyal Party members.

The Statement Read;

“The State Working Committee of the Delta State Chapter of the PDP, rising from an emergency meeting, suspended the Senator representing Delta North Senatorial District in the National Assembly, Senator Peter Nwaoboshi, for a period of one month.

“This action has become necessary against the backdrop of the recent romance with an opposition Party, verbal recklessness, and unprovoked utterances of Senator Peter Nwaoboshi, particularly against the person of His Excellency, Senator Dr. Ifeanyi Okowa, the Executive Governor of Delta State, which the PDP State Working Committee views strongly as totally unacceptable, disturbing and unbecoming of a politician and party member of his stature.

“The suspension, therefore, though obligatory, has sadly become imperative and inevitable, especially given the dramatic spontaneity and overzealousness of his verbal attacks, which are totally out of character and may have suspiciously been induced by circumstances which defy immediate rational analysis and comprehension.”

The case has reportedly been referred to the State Disciplinary Committee, in order to afford Senator Nwaoboshi a fair hearing and the opportunity to appear before it and defend himself over his recent utterances and actions against the Party and its leadership, in the State.
