Osita Ngwu is a fraudulent and dishonest senator – SaharaReporters

The senator representing Enugu West, Osita Ngwu, is under fire nationwide as his constituents also draw a special battle line against him at home.

SaharaReporters, in its news report on February 4, quoted sources who derided the lawmaker, notably describing him as a “dishonest” and “fraudulent” man.

There has been growing call for Senator Ngwu to vacate his position as Minority Whip in the Senate. With the aim for balance, the position is exclusively reserved for the opposition or for Minority caucus in the Red Chamber.

However, Ngwu who won the senate in 2023 under the Peoples Democratic Party has defected to the ruling All Progressives Congress alongside Governor Peter Mbah in 2025. Mbah publicly announced his defection. But Ngwu has refused to do so even though APC officials in his Ngwo Uno Ward, Udi Local Government Area have confirmed his membership.

The rule is simply, and its that Osita Ngwu has lost the right to remain as the Minority Whip of the 10th Assembly.

“It is deeply troubling and disappointing that a distinguished Senator of the Federal Republic of Nigeria could act in such a dishonest and fraudulent manner”, SaharaReporters quoted a source as saying.

It was solely out of greed the Osita Ngwu has refused to formally announce his defection to allow him “to continue usurping the Minority Whip position”.

“Senator Osita Ngwu continues to manipulate the system, apparently aiming to collect the benefits due to the Minority Whip in the last week of February 2025”, the source slammed Ngwu.

Meanwhile, the Enugu West constituents are bracing to unseat the “fraudulent” senator in 2027. He was the only PDP senator from Enugu after the 2023 elections, made possible by massive rigging that defied the Labour Party tsunami mostly in Aninri, Awgu, Udi and Ezeagu council areas.

Speaking at the mini ceremony Ngwu, who was represented by his aide Emeka Aneke, said the cameras “were his way of ensuring that every part of his constituency is empowered with enough security materials,” according to a circular from his media office.

The Eke Progressive Forum, a special interest group, received the items on behalf of the people and its leaders “assured [the senator] of their total support… at all times,” the circular continued.

Senator Osita Ngwu was the only senatorial candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) who survived Labour Party’s deadly incursions in the 2023 elections. The electoral machines were hijacked and the election grossly rigged in his favour.

He, alongside major Political bigwigs in Enugu State defected to APC, abandoning PDP to perish.

Ngwu has not publicly declared his bid for reelection but he is “ready for more terms,” an insider source told InfoWars. His predecessor former Senator Ike Ekweremadu sat on the seat for 20 years.
