Senate Peter Nwaoboshi has joined the All Progressive Congress, barely few days after he was suspended by the Peoples Democratic Party, (PDP), in Delta State.

BIGPENNGR reports that Nwaoboshi was suspended few days ago by State Working Committee of the PDP in Delta following his recent seething attacks on Governor Ifeanyi Okowa.

The senator who represents Delta North Senatorial District was slammed a one months suspension from the party for anti-party activities.

But on Friday, the senator was seen in company of APC leaders at the presidential villa where he met with President Buhari.
