Senior Special Assistant to the President

(Media & Publicity) was quoted saying “you are welcome to the progressives family.’’

 

 

Sen. Nwaoboshi, representing Delta North District, Delta State, was presented to President Buhari and National Caretaker/Extraordinary Convention Planning Committee (CECPC) at the State House by Deputy Senate President, Ovie Omo-Agege.

 

 

The Deputy Senate President said Senator Nwaoboshi’s decision to join the APC clearly shows that the effort of the CECPC was yielding fruit.

 

 

“The Senator was warmly welcomed by party members,”the statement stressed”

 

The senator representing Delta North in National Assembly, Peter Nwaoboshi, had  said his purported suspension by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is unconstitutional and cannot stand.

 

 

Nwaoboshi was suspended on Wednesday from the party. In a statement issued by Philip Elueme, his legislative aide, Nwaoboshi accused Okowa of remotely controlling the action of the working committee of the party.

 

“It is irrational, laughable, illegal and an unconstitutional action of this bunch of alarmingly, anti-democratic forces masquerading as the State Working Committee is against the principles of fair hearing – audi alteram paten – as enshrined in the Nigerian constitution, a document that supercedes all other documents,” he said.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Meanwhile, the medical follow-up visit of President Muhammadu Buhari to United Kingdom earlier scheduled for today, Friday, June 25, 2021, has been postponed.

 

A new date will be announced in due course, the statement added.
