Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori, has expressed deep sorrow over the death of former Senator representing Delta North Senatorial District, Peter Onyelukachukwu Nwaoboshi, describing his passing as a great loss to Delta State, the Anioma nation and Nigeria.
In a condolence message issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Sir Festus Ahon, the governor described the late senator as a proud son of Delta State and a courageous defender of the Anioma cause, whose contributions to nation-building would endure.
Oborevwori recalled Nwaoboshi’s impactful service in the National Assembly, where he chaired the Senate Committee on Niger Delta Affairs, noting that his advocacy for the development of the Niger Delta and Delta State distinguished him as a passionate and committed leader.
He said the late lawmaker’s political journey was anchored on strong political pedigree, selfless service and unwavering commitment to democratic ideals, which also saw him serve meritoriously as a two-time Chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party in Delta State.
According to the governor, Senator Nwaoboshi devoted his life to the service of his people, his party and the nation, leaving behind a legacy defined by courage, loyalty and dedication to public service.
“On behalf of the government and people of Delta State, I mourn the passing of my dear friend, Senator Peter Onyelukachukwu Nwaoboshi,” Oborevwori said.
“I extend my heartfelt condolences to his immediate family, the people of Anioma nation, members of our great party, the All Progressives Congress, and all those whose lives he touched.
“I pray that Almighty God grants his soul eternal rest and gives his family, friends and associates the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss.”
