The governorship candidate of Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) for the upcoming Anambra state election, Chief Jude Ezenwafor, has escaped assassination move on his life after he was shot brutally by hoodlums.
Chief Ezenwafor, who is currently in a private hospital in Abuja where he is due for a surgery session, told journalists early Saturday morning that he suffered a near death situation when gunmen accosted him around Wuse 2 on Friday night.
Still nursing injuries amidst excruciating pains, Chief Ezenwafor confirmed that he was on his way home after an appointment when the incident happened.
“I’m currently in the hospital. The doctors are making efforts to operate me so that they can pull out bullets from my body,” he faintly said.
The governorship hopeful was shot alongside two persons who were with him. ANN recalls that the governorship election is scheduled for November 8th, 2025.
Currently, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is conducting voters’ registration ahead of the poll.
