Delta PDP Mocks APC Over Nwaoboshi: Come Out And Go To Jail

After months of keeping the issue low, the PDP in Delta State has come out to mock the APC on the circumstances of its Delta North Senatorial candidate, Senator Peter Nwaoboshi who has gone out of circulation even though not in jail since his conviction for money laundering.

GWG.ng reports that Nwaoboshi who was elected to the senate twice on the platform of the PDP formally defected to the APC in June 2021 and a year later he was convicted of money laundering and sentenced to seven years in jail.

The Delta North Senator has appealed the conviction but has meanwhile gone underground apparently to avoid spending time in jail.

Friends and associates have since the conviction last July poohpoohed questions concerning him. Even former political associates in the PDP also kept mum in solidarity with their former political ally.

GWG.ng reports that Nwaoboshi had been seen as a strong political force that had been envisaged to help the APC governorship candidate overrun Delta North which is the power base of the outgoing governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa.

However, the gloves were pulled off on Thursday as the Delta State chairman of the PDP, Olorogun Kingsley Esiso brought up the issue at a campaign rally in Ndokwa East Local Government Area.

Esiso said: ” The man needed for Delta North in the Senate is Prince Ned Nwoko. He has no opposition. The one that should have been his opponent has gone into hiding, and he dares not come out. If he comes out, he will be arrested and taken to jail. So, this is your Senatorial candidate, Prince Ned Nwoko.”

Esiso slammed the All Progressives Congress, APC, Presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu for saying that he would continue with the programmes of the Buhari administration, saying: “Bola Tinubu said he would continue with what Buhari is doing – Holy Ghost Fire!

“He wants to continue with the suffering the Buhari administration brought to Nigeria; rice is beyond the reach of Nigerians, cost of fuel is unbearable,” Esiso said.

He then called on the people to retrieve the country from the stranglehold of the APC Federal Government by casting their votes for the PDP Presidential ticket of Atiku-Okowa. “Chase out APC from Government with your votes for PDP,” the PDP Delta State Chairman said. He congratulated the Ward leadership for doing a great job of keeping PDP supporters together and for mobilising them for the Ward campaigns.

Earlier, the Chairman of Delta North PDP and campaign leader, Elder Moses Iduh urged members of the Wards not to allow themselves to be sweet-talked to leave the party. “Don’t be deceived. Vote for people who will work to better the lives of youths, those who know that youths exist,” he said.

Accordingly to him, PDP is the only party that can return this nation back to normalcy. “PDP has all it takes. There’s hope for Nigeria with PDP,” Iduh said, adding: ” Use your votes to drive APC Federal Government into the bottomless pit.”

While introducing the Deputy Governorship Candidate of the party, Sir Monday Onyeme, Iduh said Onyeme has been empowering people in Ndokwa East when he was alone, pointing out that as Deputy Governor he would do better. “Atiku-Okowa will change this nation, they will be blessing to this nation,” Iduh said.
