You are a failed politician, Delta PDP bombs Senator Nwaoboshi; says PDP not given to violence

By Nnamdi Okosieme

The Delta State Chapter of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has lashed out at Chief Peter Nwaoboshi, tbe Senator representing the Delta North Senatorial Zone at the National Assembly.

The party, reacting to a statement credited to the Senator where he declared “total” war on the PDP insisting the party would regret any recourse to violence during elections, dismissed the Senator, a former member of the party, as a rabble rousing failed politician with nothing to offer.

The Delta PDP’s reaction. which came via a press statement signed by Dr. Ifeanyi Osuoza, its Publicity Secretary, said it was not surprised by Senator Nwaoboshi’s comments as they reflect his true character.

“We have no reason to doubt that such comments were uttered by Chief Nwaoboshi, as they are not remarkably different from his typically verbose and puerile utterings, in his futility to discredit the PDP, since he jumped into the sinking APC boat, in the assumed hope of temporarily escaping the looming indictment of an already done and dusted forensic audit report”, Dr Osuoza said in the statement.

He averred that Senator Nwaoboshi had already outlived his usefulness to the PDP and had become an embarrassing liability to the party with his anti-party actions and posturings, right from the commencement of the ninth Senate when, like a traitor without any iota of political integrity, proudly and in the public glare, became an outstanding turncoat and shameless fifth columnist in the election of the new Senate President.

“We are even surprised that a politician who has achieved all his political fortunes under the steady umbrella of the PDP, will be making comments suggesting rigging and violence. Ironically, we do not recall any extraordinary incidences of rigging and violence in the two Senatorial elections which Senator Nwaoboshi won under the PDP, or is he now confessing to the world that he achieved his Senatorial election victories by violence and rigging? What a shameless man, cutting his nose to spite his face”, the statement said.

The Delta State PDP spokesman said Senator Nwaoboshi knows that the PDP is not a party of violence and has no reason to rig any election because it is the most popular, the most organized, the most prepared, and the most beloved party of Deltans, comprehensively accepted and unanimously embraced across the length and breadth, nooks and crannies of the entire Delta State.

“It is a political truism that when you are very popular and win elections by landslides, your detractors quickly console themselves by jumping to conclusions that there was rigging. That has been the lot of the opposition in Delta State, in all the forms and nomenclatures they have manifested, to contest in every election cycle.

“We want to emphatically remind Mr. Nwaoboshi and indeed all those beating that drum of stubbornness for him, of what happened to the stubborn fly that refused to listen to good advise, and to assure him that no matter what rigging, violence or even judicial abracadabra the APC is plotting and planning, the PDP is already primed once again, to coast home to victory in 2023 and nothing can stop what has already been destined”, Dr. Osuoza stated.

He advised Senator Nwaoboshi to br mindful of his place in the scheme of things:

“As for Nwaoboshi, on a personal note, we want to tell him categorically that PDP made him who he is politically, and a politician can never be greater than his maker, for, like that proverb which he knows so well, the Okro (AKA: Abelmoschus esculentus, in case you didn’t know), can never be taller than the person who planted it. The PDP will always bend him to size effortlessly and cut him off without any qualms or stress at all, and there’s absolutely nothing he can do about it”, the statement noted.
