Chief Chuku Wachuku


The Abia Central Senatorial aspirant from Isiala Ngwa North Local Government Area, Chuku Wachuku has flayed the alleged anointing of an Ikwuano LGA aspirant for the same position ahead of the 2023 General Elections.

Addressing members of Ohamazuo Social Club of Nigeria at Mbawsi in Isiala Ngwa North LGA during their National Convention and launching of their multi-purpose Cooperative Society, the state Peoples Democratic Party, PDP  chieftain, Wachuku said that going by the rotation arrangement in Abia Central between Umunneato (Isiala Ngwa North, South and Osisioma) and Umuahia, and being currently occupied by Umuahia North, the senatorial seat should go to Umunneato.

He said, “In Abia Central, we have a protocol arrangement and nobody has zoned it out to Ikwuano. You cannot hand over from Umuahia North to Ikwuano. It is, therefore, normal to hand it over to an Umunneato person.

“I don’t need anyone to anoint me for senate. If the party says no, shun them. It is our right and I am capable of holding power.”

He urged members of the club who are mostly PDP delegates, “Vote for yourselves, your family and for empowerment”, assuring them that if voted in, the constituency will not be left out of federal empowerment programmes.

He enjoined them to be steadfast with their cooperative society as it is the way forward all over the world.
