ADC: Sen Nwoye appoints wife of slain Anambra lawmaker as legislative aide.

Less than 24 hours after she lost the bid to replace her husband, Senator representing Anambra North Senatorial Zone, Tony Nwoye has appointed the candidate of the African Democratic Congress, ADC, Justina Azuka as a legislative aide.

Azuka was appointed as Senior Special Adviser on Special Duties to the federal lawmaker.

Recall that Mrs Azuka had contested election for the Onitsha North 1 State Constituency, previously held by her husband, Justice Azuka, before he was kidnapped and eventually killed.

Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, on Sunday announced the result of the by-election, declaring the candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, Mimih Ifeoma Azikiwe winner, while Mrs Azuka came closely behind.

The idea of fielding her as candidate of the ADC was to empower her to train her three children left behind by her late husband. But with her loss in the election, Senator Tony Nwoye quickly appointed her as a legislative aide.

In a photo circulating online, Senator Nwoye was seen handing her an appointment letter.

When our correspondent reached out to the senator, he confirmed that he truly appointed her.

It was also gathered that her appointment came with a basic salary of N200,000, and this has been applauded by many who believe that the appointment will cushion the effect of the loss of the husband to her, and also cater for her family.

Mr Peter Mmeagana, an indigene of Anambra State who reacted to this praised Nwoye for being so empathic.

He said: “What Tony Nwoye has done is the empathy which many politicians in Nigeria lack. The idea of fielding her to replace her husband was the best, but you see how vehemently opposition came after the poor widow. At least with what she has now, she can keep her family.”

Great move from Senator Tony Nwoye here. Wow this sounds great.

So it is not to serve the people. Political position is now empowerment program and not to serve the people again. What a people! People deceiving themselves

Just block him.

These people have yet to realise that there's no LP without Peter Obi.

ADC is still new and should focus on building grassroots support across the country, not winning elections.

What Obi should have done, his obidients will rather be shouting we no de give shishi in vain. Very anyhow people

Both pictures cant be same woman.

Great move 👏

Without Obi, LP already had a Governor in Ondo state as far back as 2010.
Peter is a nobody in politics. That's how he will keep roaming about without impact.

Oga, rest! LP's biggest shine came with Peter Obi. How many senators and HOR members across the S/West and Nigeria did Mimiko bring to LP? Blind criticisms make people extremely dumb and foolish at the same time.

Despite all the noise of Obi and his Igbo Obidients, how many states did you win?
In the SE today, APC has the highest number of states. Where does that leave Obi and his rodents?
You are political tools and we will use you as we like and then dump you.
When Presidency is to come to the SE, the rest of Nigeria will choose the Ndigbo candidate and you won't have a say.

Nice one from Sen. Tony Nwoye

that particular spot shows what politics is all about in Nigeria , not about the people but personal gain

Slytiger:

I have been blocking him for weeks now but continue to register another username again. I'm just tired of him niii.

This was what I expected Soludo to do. To go beyond partisan barriers and soothe this woman's pain by some form of empowerment. While I'm not sure he paid a condolence visit to the widow, that he personally campaigned openly against her shows an obvious lack of empathy on his part, considering the circumstances of her husband's death.
