Why LP Enugu East Senatorial candidate was murdered — Prof Chukwu ⬇️
The family of the slain Labour Party candidate for the 2023 Enugu East Senatorial election, Chief Victor Oyibo Chukwu, has stated that their illustrious son was murdered by assassins because of his popularity and that of the Labour Party in Enugu State and across the country.
Chukwu pointed out that apart from being a political veteran on the national stage, their late son, a senior lawyer, led the Nigerian Bar Association in Oji River from 2017 to 2019, adding that his professional colleagues can always testify to his courage, wisdom, tenacity, vision and uncanny organisational skills.
“The threat to his life spiked when he directed his lawyer, Mr. Chukwudi Igwe, to file a suit in the Federal High Court in Abuja challenging the legal status of the participation of a former Enugu State Governor, Dr. Chimaraoke Nnamani, as the PDP candidate in the Enugu East Senatorial Zone since he has been expelled from his party. The Nigerian Constitution provides that only candidates sponsored by political parties can contest in an election.
