Delta State Mourns Senator Peter Nwaoboshi by Ragner(op): 2:59pm On Dec 19, 2025
Sending shockwaves around Delta State and the federation, is news that Former Senator, Peter Nwaoboshi is now late.
Details are yet to be released but it has now been confirmed by his media aides on their social Platforms.

Nwaoboshi began his career in 1979 as an aide to Samuel Ogbemudia, Governor of the defunct Bendel State. Subsequently, he was appointed chairman of the Nigerian Railway Corporation. In 1999, he was also a political adviser to Governor James Ibori. In 2000, he was appointed Commissioner for Agriculture and Special Duties in Delta State where he served in that position till 2006. In 2008, he was appointed State Chairman of the People's Democratic Party in Delta State. He served for a second term as State Chairman in 2012 and in 2014 resigned to run for senate.

In 2015, he was elected into office as a Senator representing Delta North senatorial district in the National Assembly. He was subsequently appointed Chairman Senate committee on Niger Delta. In 2019, he was re-elected into the senate under the People's Democratic Party. On June 23, 2021, the Delta State PDP suspended Nwaoboshi for "anti-party activities after a public spat between Nwaoboshi and Governor Ifeanyi Okowa.
Nwaoboshi called the suspension "laughable" and "illegal" before leaving the PDP two days later and joining the APC at a meeting with President Buhari and Delta Central Senator Ovie Omo-Agege.

He has since reconciled and welcomed His predecessor in the senate, Ifeanyi Okowa into the APC in 2025

Oh no, my apologies please. I was mistaken him for Abba moro.

Thank you for calling my attention to it.

His death really pained me because I used to know him personally though many years ago.

I'll edit my comment. Thank you so much.
