Osita Chidoka is set to become the flag bearer for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the forthcoming Anambra Central Rerun elections.
According to reliable sources, the PDP National Working Committee and the Anambra chapter of the Party has concluded plans to nominate Chief Osita Chidoka, this follows the Court of Appeal ruling in Enugu which nullified the election of the former PDP representative Mrs. Uche Ekwunife and ordered for a fresh poll in Anambra Central Senatorial District.
Mrs. Uche Ekwunife, has since decamped to the All Progressives Congress (APC) vowing to win the primary elections there in a surprising move to most political observers.
According to our source, the party’s resolve to nominate the former Aviation Minister comes on the “heels of a quest by the PDP to present a credible alternative to Uche Ekwunife who has abandoned the party. Osita Chidoka is seen as a very capable politician to challenge for the exulted position. He has served three Nigerian Presidents from President Olusegun Obasanjo, President Umaru Yaradua and Goodluck Jonathan, in different capacities.”
The Party also believes that his qualifications which include; a Graduate Diploma in Maritime & Ports Management from the National University of Singapore, Certificate in Global Strategy and Political Economy from Oxford University and Masters Degree in Transport Policy & Logistics, School of Public Policy, George Masons University, USA will position him as one of the bright parliamentarians.
If Osita Chidoka emerges the PDP Flagbearer he is expected to be challenged by Chief Victor Umeh of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) and either Mrs. Ekwunife or Sharon Ikeazor the APC former woman leader who has since indicated her interest in the race.

and so? make we fry akara . APC all d way

cool

Great move..............though late cos no more yam for him too chop

indeed

Is this how we going to focus on elections and other little things?.... What about vision 2020?
4 years to come

Maka why?

I cannot say who is goin to win anambra central re run but all I can say is dt APC can never win dt election even wit 100 ekwenife's put together

I thought PDP was barred from contesting in the election hence the decamping of Ekwunife?

Nice move, one of the fine guys in jonathans administration

See qualifications!

It seems like APGA now have a real contestant to battle with.

Ike Obosi gaba na anyi kwu gi Nazu

just passing

His Brother Obinna Chidoka is also representing their constituency at the green chamber. Na only una dem create Anambra for ni? somehow I think Jonathan destroyed this guy's career when he was moved from FRSC to be a minister at the wee of his government.

What is the difference between Taraba Governorship
election and this one? with the disqualification of the supposed winner, APGA'S Victor umeh should have been declared winner.

He will win

If this is true then this is the wisest choice by PDP. Chidoka is from Obosi which has Anambra central highest voters! This used to be Ngige's joker (Idemili)!!

I think PDP will definitely have the day 'cos Ekwunife and Victor umeh are from the same LGA-Anaocha they will split their votes

I have no doubt he will win this election



Ndi Anambra voted for PDP not Ekwunife!!

That's nice

Anambra will never be for APC

Chidoka is a great choice....He has my support.
Uche Ekwunife you are on your own!
