However, he was turned down by the Clerk of the National Assembly, Mohammed Sani-Omolori.

Omolori informed him that the decision not to accredit him was taken because of unsettled electoral disputes in his Delta North senatorial district.

In May, a Court of Appeal in Abuja sacked Ned Nwoko as senator-elect for the district and reinstated Peter Nwaoboshi.

Reports indicate that Nwaoboshi later arrived the National Assembly complex for his registration but it is not clear if he was accredited.
