EXPOSED: Politicians in Presidency causing crisis in APC – Sen Nwaoboshi reveals

Senator Peter Nwaoboshi, a leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Delta State, has made a bold statement about members of the Presidency who he claims have created problems within the party for their own gain.

Nwaoboshi discussed the political ambitions of Senator Ovie Omo-Agege, the APC’s candidate for governor in the 2023 elections.

He noted that the APC in Delta was united until after President Bola Ahmed Tinubu was elected.

Nwaoboshi stated that he is willing to reveal the names of those who are causing trouble for Omo-Agege, preventing him from benefiting from the current government.

He expressed his belief that Omo-Agege’s hopes of being the governor in 2027 might not succeed as long as he is in the APC and the current governor is also part of the party.

“You remember when people were challenging him then, and I said Omo-Agege is the leader of the party in the state. I challenged them to a debate because I have been around. He is a former Deputy Senate President. There was no contest as to who was the leader of the party. It was some people in the Presidency that triggered it.

“Some people in the Presidency triggered the Delta APC controversy. The problems, or what you would define as a crisis in the Delta APC before the governor came in, were minimal. Of the two senators that APC had at the time, Omo-Agege contributed over 80 per cent to their being senators. He made them the party’s candidates. I said no, he is the leader of the party.

“I have advised him as a senior brother and someone older than him in the game of politics. I have told him he cannot run if he remains in the APC and the governor remains in the APC. He cannot win the party’s primary, and it will be difficult for him to win the election. I have had private meetings with him and apprised him of my position.

“I am talking about the party primary. It is difficult for him to change the system when a sitting governor is running for a second term. I have advised him, and I don’t think so based on my personal meeting with him, our former governor, Ibori, and other leaders” Nwaoboshi maintained.
