Nigerian politician / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peter Onyeluka Nwaoboshi (born 1958 in Delta State, Nigeria) is a Nigerian politician.[1][2] He is the senator representing Delta North senatorial district in the Nigerian Senate. He is a senator of the 8th and 9th National Assembly.[3][4] He was sacked shortly after being announced senator elect during the 2019 general elections by a Federal High Court in Abuja as Senator-elect[5] on allegations that he was not validly elected by his political party.[6][7][8] The Appeal Court in Abuja however overturned the decision on 30 May 2019. The lead judge held that the Federal High Court that nullified his election had no jurisdiction over the case.[9][10]
