The Forum of former Chairmen of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in Delta South Senatorial District, has lambasted Senator Representing Delta North Senatorial District, Senator Peter Nwaoboshi over his unbridled attacks on Governor Ifeanyi Okowa.

Rising from a meeting in Warri, on Tuesday, the Forum also passed a vote of confidence on the Governor over his handling of both politics and governance in the state.

In a communique signed by Vice Chairman of the Forum, Mr Amah Agbajoh and other members in attendance, the Forum said it frowns at the way and manner the Senator who was a former State Chairman of the party was attacking the governor over issues of development of Asaba and other parts of the state.

“The Forum of former PDP chairmen of Delta South, reaffirm our unflinching, unwavering, resolute and complete support Governor Ifeanyi Okowa over development of Asaba the state capital and other parts of the state especially the riverine communities.

“We frown at the mendacious propanda deployed by Senator Peter Nwaoboshi who recently defected to the All Progressives Congress shortly after he was suspended by the PDP over his anti party comments on the Governor.
