The presidency has reacted to the
ruling of a Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos, which remanded Senator
representing Delta-North, Peter Nwaoboshi in prison over alleged fraud of
N805m.
President Muhammadu Buhari’s
Personal Assistant on Social Media, Lauretta Onochie expressed delight at the
news of Nwaoboshi’s incarceration.
In a post via her Facebook wall,
Onochie described the serving lawmaker as a self confessed thief.
She wrote: “BREAKING NEWS:
“COURT SENDS MY SENATOR, PETER
NWAOBOSHI TO PRISON
“I am a thief. There’s no way the
loot is shared without the thief getting a fair portion. Whatever gets to my
hand is mine. Once I have looted to my satisfaction, if anything is left, I
will give to my extended family, Isieke. If it remains, then it will be given
to the people of Igbuzo. If there’s more, then others can get
-Peter Nwaoboshi.
“I was at an event when he made
the above statement in our Anioma language. My stomach churned when he was
handed an award after confessing publicly to being a thief. A self-Confessed
thief receiving an award!
“But today, the court is holding
him accountable for some of his pilfering and looting against Anioma and Delta
people.
“Keep him in. He has not
represented Anioma people. He has represented himself. May he be brought to
justice. We will elect another Senator.”
