Senator representing Delta North Senatorial District, Ned Nwoko, has expressed deep sorrow over the death of former Senator Peter Nwaoboshi, describing him as a towering political figure whose contributions to Delta State and Anioma land spanned decades.
In a condolence message issued in Abuja, Nwoko said he received the news of Nwaoboshi’s passing “with profound sense of loss and grief,” noting that the late senator played a significant role in the social and political evolution of Delta State, Delta North and Nigeria at large.
He recalled that Nwaoboshi, who represented Delta North in the Senate from 2015 to 2023, was “a long-standing political figure, consummate party administrator and dedicated community leader,” whose influence dated back to the 1990s. According to Nwoko, the late senator “contributed immensely to the social and political evolution of Delta State, Delta North as well as the nation, having held key positions as party chairman, civil commissioner and senator, among other offices.”
The lawmaker extended heartfelt condolences to the Nwaoboshi family, saying, “On behalf of myself, family and political associates, I extend my deep commiseration to the family on this difficult moment of the loss of their patriarch.” He also prayed for strength for the bereaved, adding, “May the Almighty grant the entire family and indeed the people of Oshimili, Anioma and Delta State at large the fortitude to bear the irreparable loss.”
