There was serious commotion on Friday, yesterday, when the Delta State Chairman of Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Peter Nwaoboshi, and youths suspected to be loyal to the party chairman, allegedly in broad day light beat up and tore the clothes off the wife of the former PDP national chairman, Mrs. Mariam Nneamaka Ali.
It happened while they were waiting for the State Governor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan to perform the formal commissioning of the newly built state secretariat of the party.
Trouble started at the state party secretariat following a heated argument between the state party chairman, and the wife of the former PDP national chairman. Worst of all, it was over a seat!!!
"On arrival, I saw two vacant seats besides the former deputy governor, Chief Benjamin Elue, and the speaker, Mr. Peter Onwusanya. I quietly seated [myself] and immediately, to my surprise, the MC of the ceremony publicly announced that where I was seated was not meant for me,” Nneamaka Ali said.
“As that was happening, the state party chairman, Peter Nwaoboshi, was called to the scene, and walked up to me, and asked me to stand up from the seat. And before anyone could say, ‘Jack Robinson,’ he gave me several severe slaps on my face, and started fighting me, and I sprang up from my seat in defense and immediately, over a hundred youths gathered and started attacking me, and tore my clothes,” she stated angrily in recalling her ordeal.
A former political assistant to the state governor and PDP stalwart, Mr. Okocha Victor, corroborated Mrs. Ali’s statement.
