Most Distinguished Senator Nwaoboshi’s incarceration will not in any way diminish his relevance or acceptance in Anioma nation and Nigeria in general. Come to think of what his opponent would have used to campaign against him, if not for his illegal imprisonment by his evil political enemies?

The Ibusa born political tactician brought to the fore glamour and extraordinary representation in less than one year in office after beginning his improbable quest as a first timer within the minority party, he became Chairman Senate Committee on Niger – Delta Affairs, Including the NDDC, the first minority barrier breaking achievement believed to be impossible by generation of minorities in Nigeria.

There is no doubt whatsoever that in the last seven years of active representation as a senator of Federal Republic of Nigeria before he was incarcerated, Anioma Nation have come to embrace and admire Senator Nwaoboshi’s tactical audacity, strategic acumen and the sure-footed administrative astuteness which sets him apart as a visionary leader, Senator Nwaoboshi can never be compared to the present senator or the past senators in all ramifications if not for his illegal incarceration which gave his opponents a free running day,the present senator wouldn’t have defeated Senator Nwaoboshi in an open election.

it’s also on record that no Anioma Senator has ever broken the record of chairing any juicy Senate Committee as a first timer, it is only the Most Distinguished Senator Peter Nwaoboshi a man with robust political experience and wide range of political influence. A man who spread dividends of democracy to the nook and crannies of Delta North within one year in office, Anioma Nation never knew that a serving senator can attract over 140 roads network across Delta North, distribution of 100 Transformers, installation of thousands of solar street lights, supply of over 100,000 chairs and tables to primary and Secondary schools in Delta North, renovation of schools, building of skills acquisition centers, empowerment of women and youths, training of Anioma Youth through NDDC, employment of youths into various Government parastatals,farmers witnessed huge empowerment with improved Yam and Maize Seedlings from Senator Nwaoboshi which has never happened in the history of Anioma nation etc.

In the 9th senate, Senator Nwaoboshi proposed bill for the creation of Anioma State when he was representing Delta North,it passed through the first and second reading and was referred to the committee on State creation. Eminent Anioma leaders were carried along and they appeared before the committee and defended the request, and it was one of the states shortlisted, the records are there for check. Senator Nwaoboshi is not a social media representative and does not make unnecessary noise.

While the tribulations might persist for a while, Senator Nwaoboshi will always stand out in Anioma Nation,“Nwaoboshi will always remain relevant in Delta North politics. He is already a household name and a champion of the Anioma nation. His contribution to the development of the nation cannot be washed away by a non-starter. Today, in Delta politics, Nwaoboshi remains the third tripod known to contemporary Delta politics.” and not a social media senator.

Its on record that Senator Peter Nwaoboshi had alot of evidence of completed projects in every ward in Anioma Nation including Idumuje Ugboko and Idumuje uno, Asaba, Ibusa, Agbor , kwale etc. We challenge our present and past senators to mention projects that they attracted and completed within one year in Anioma Land just like what Nwaoboshi did in his first year. Senator Nwoboshi is not a social media representation.

However, one question which begs for answer is must we always throw away the baby and the bath water, must we sacrifice the standout man focused in ensuring that the Anioma is not used for individual’s whims and caprices because of power play, must we always ruin the nice guy who has plan for a better tomorrow?.

These questions are some of the many which posterity will ask naysayers of Senator Nwaoboshi who continues to stand tall and will continue to do so for a very long time.
Today, he has demonstrated how grounded he was in Delta State and Nigerian Politics by educating Nigerians on some controversial issues and how to get out of the quagmire, most especially his own Delta State zonation(Equity) and the recent rumoured dissolution of Delta North APC Local Government and Ward Chairmen forum by Delta North Senatorial District. In the face of adversity, Sen. Nwaoboshi remained unshaken, believing always that the scales of fairness, equity and justice, though at times tipped, can and will be balanced.

Our attention has been drawn to a recent online Publication titled: Engr. Eboh Slams Nwaoboshi Over Criticism of Delta North APC Local Government and Ward  Chairmen’s forum Disbarment. It’s indeed laughable to hear that a man like Engineer Emma Eboh can have the audacity to challenge a political Encyclopedia and the Political oracle of Delta Politics in the person of Most Distinguished Senator Peter Nwaoboshi.

In the tapestry of Fairness, justice and equity, Most Distinguished Senator Peter Nwaoboshi stand as both a beacon and a shield, for decades, woven with threads of resilience, courage, and unyielding compassion.As a champion for the silenced, his voice has echoed in political rooms and hearts alike, calling for fairness, equity and the preservation of rights that belong to every political zones.

Through decades of struggles, he has not just fought for fair play to be upheld, but for the very essence of humanity to be recognized. His life’s work is a testament to the unbreakable spirit of those who dare to stand for what is right, even when the road is long and fraught with challenges. In the face of adversity, he remained unshaken, believing always that the scales of fairness, equity and justice, though at times tipped, can and will be balanced.
Today, he has demonstrated how grounded he was in Delta State and Nigerian Politics by educating Nigerians on some controversial issues and how to get out of the quagmire, most especially his own Anioma nation(Delta North) zonation and rumoured dissolution of Delta North APC Local Government and Ward Chairmen forum by Delta North Senatorial District Chairman, Ogbueshi Adizue Eluaka JP.

Senator Peter Nwaoboshi has been involved in active politics of Nigeria since 1978, there are very few politicians in this country that can say they are his senior politically. He has always said that in politics, If you want peace you will consider the feelings of others and if you shoot an arrow on a stone, the mouth of that arrow may never be useful again in life.

A deligent readings of Article 13.9 of the APC constitution particularly the Senatorial district committee looks like it will take it’s membership from all the members of the state committee who’s are from the Senatorial district, But the underlining fact of the last purported single action of the  Senatorial chairman Chief Adizue as Sen Peter Nwaoboshi earlier stated was that as he earlier published this action he took against the Local council APC chairmen’s forum was done unilaterally, it was an autocratic decision, there was no meeting of the Senatorial district committee called prior to taken this Draconian decision against the later and the spirit of the APC constitution reference Article 13.9, hence it is null and void.

It’s a sad case for Chief Adizue; unfortunately the celebrations from the Nedites saying that the Local Government chairmen’s forum is dissolved is the celebration of anarchists and infantile anti APC constitutionalists…This is because, any action taken against the provisions of the APC constitution by any of its officials like that unilaterally action taken by Chief Adizue purportedly autocratically dissolving the APC Delta North  LGA Chairmen’s forum is a nulity. Chief Adizue our Senatorial chairman is just clowning; the Engr. Eboh is equally exhibiting his kindergarten status as a neophytes in APC lacking appreciation and in-depth understanding of her constitutional provisions. What a shame.

As it stands the Senatorial District local Government chairmen’s Forum is still existing, their last published decision disassociating themselves from the undemocratic so called ‘endorsement’ of a serving senator stands firmly rooted unchanged.

it is so unfortunate that a neophytes in politics like Engr. Emma Eboh can come openly to say that Sen Nwaoboshi misfired and that he is desperately searching for relevance within the APC Delta North family, what an insult from a neophytes in politics? How can you say
that Most Distinguished Senator Nwaoboshi, the oracle of Delta Politics, the Political grand master misfired politically by criticizing the illegal action of the Delta North Senatorial District Chairman, Ogbueshi Adizue Eluaka who went out of his constitutional right to aired that he has dissolved the Delta North APC Local Government and Ward Chairmen forum and Engr. Eboh also accused Sen.Nwaoboshi of being one of the leaders of the Ibori Vanguard that was dissolved, of which Senator Nwaoboshi was neither  leader nor a member of such group.

My question is why must we always throw away the baby and the bath water, must we sacrifice the standout man focused in ensuring that the Anioma is not used for individual’s whims and caprices because of power play and paid falsehood, must we always ruin the nice guy who has plan for a better tomorrow of Anioma Nation?.It’s clear that Nwaoboshi is an authority in politics, people like Engr. Eboh should learn from poltical Encyclopedia, because personality like him cannot be marred by misinformation and social media propaganda,because he speaks with facts and proves.

Nwaoboshi has directed all APC members to ignore any call for the dissolution of the Delta North APC Local Government and Ward Chairmen forum, as it is unconstitutional and motivated by personal gain. The leadership should uphold the party’s constitution and democratic processes, rather than succumbing to the whims of individuals seeking to destabilize the party.

People like Engr. Eboh should know Senator Nwaoboshi will continue to defend the party’s integrity and democracy, and he will not be intimidated by the antics of any group or person(s) reemphasizing that he will always ignite change and create a legacy of fairness and equity that will resonate for generations to come.

The Commissioner for Works (Rural Roads) and Public Information, Mr. Charles Aniagwu, while reacting to the recent Light Up Ndokwa Nation protests during a press conference, in Asaba, assured residents that concrete steps are being taken to provide lasting power solutions to the area.

Flanked by Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Sir Festus Ahon and Executive Assistant to the Governor on Public Enlightenment (Projects and Policies), Mr Olisa Ifeajika, the Commissioner said for a very long time power generation and distribution had been the exclusive preserve of the federal government.

According to him, “For a very very long time transmission remained the exclusive preserve of the federal government and that meant that even when you generate you will need to upload the power you have generated into the national grid for onward distribution to the other parts of the country.

“But over time there were some form of deregulation, started from the Jonathan administration, which paid to it for some private sector players to come in and that made it possible for certain individuals in the private sector to invest in power generation and distribution.

“Only recently, certain form of liberalization have taken place and to the extent now that states can go into some form of generation and distribution but under certain conditions.

“The Okpai power project is not a state government project, we can only try to make effort to see how we can begin to also benefit and that is ongoing.

“I am also aware the State Deputy Governor, Sir Monday Onyeme, who is from the Ndokwa nation, has been mandated by the Governor to begin to look into how we can ensure that our brothers and sisters over there get connected.

“They have had several meetings with them and effort is being made to deal with the challenges between the then Power Holding Company before it moved to the Benin Electricity Distribution Company as to how to settle certain outstanding liabilities so that they can begin a process of getting them reconnected to the grid.

“Because there was this absence of power on the distribution channels along that corridor, it made it possible for some criminals to tamper with the power infrastructure in that corridor which means that it’s now a question of going to provide certain power or energy infrastructure for them to be effectively connected”.

Aniagwu further clarified that Governor Oborevwori administration had done quite a lot for the Ndokwa nation and other parts of the state and appealed for patience while government addressed their concerns.

“In the last EXCO, you saw the approval of the Aboh – Akarai road. That is a very, very challenging area and there is also a bridge along that corridor. That particular project at the end of the day will cost not less than N29 billion to be able to effectively connect our people in the Aboh – Akarai axis to their other brothers still in Ndokwa East.

“Governor Oborevwori is the one who made the move to say that, yes, these people need to be connected and so the government that is doing that has shown a whole lot of love for the people who live in that area.

“You are also aware of the number of roads we are carrying out in Ndokwa nation whether it’s the over 5km Utagba-Uno – Eweshi road, or the over 5km Ndemili-Utagba-Uno road, still over 5km, or the Inam-Abbi road still over 5km or the Obi-Ibabu road, that have been completed.

“There are a number of roads within that corridor. You are also very much aware of the very speedy completion of the Beneku bridge. So that the people have now bid goodbye to the use of pontoon or certain kind of badge to convey vehicles and other items to the inner communities.

“Even when you move to Ukwuani, still in Ndokwa nation, you realize that the Amai-Aragba-Orogun road of over 8 kilometers is ongoing.

“We have concluded the Ofuegbe street in Amai and, of course, the other roads that were constructed along Obiaruku, the headquarters of Ukwuani, to be able to connect a particular alignment from Umutu-Eku road. All that is happening in that Federal Constituency, that is only in the area of roads alone.

“So we want to plead with our brothers and sisters in that corridor to begin to see the many efforts of the Oborevwori administration towards making life much more livable for our people in that area and not to be misled by certain individuals who want to paint pictures that are completely at variance with reality.”

The Commissioner said Governor Oborevwori had done very well in the last two years in terms of infrastructure, human capital development, enhanced business security, and creating a whole lot of platforms for individuals to realize their God-given potentials, particularly as Delta is blessed with good talents, and is oil rich.

“We have continued to take advantage of that in ensuring that services are being provided, and I am happy that as partners, you have accompanied us to inspect a number of these projects across the 25 local government areas, be it in the riverine or in the upland.

“In the next two years, the Oborevwori administration is committed to doing more and that is why you saw that in our last Executive Council meeting, a number of mind-blowing projects were approved for the purpose of delivering more to our people”.
