ENUGU, Nigeria (VOICE OF NAIJA)- Mr. Chijioke Edeoga of the Labour Party (LP), has been listed among the 34 Enugu governorship candidates to contest in the 2023 general elections.
The list has since rested the confusion on who the authentic Governorship candidate of the party is in Enugu state, as Capt Evarest Nnaji had also insisted that he was the candidate of the party.
In the list pasted at the INEC state headquarters in Enugu, on Tuesday evening, Edeoga’s name appeared as candidate for the LP with his running mate, Dr. John Nwokeabia.
Other candidates in the list include Peter Mbah for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), and his running mate, Ifeanyi Ossai; the All Progressives Congress (APC), candidate, Uche Nnaji and his running mate Tagbo Ogara, among others.
Despite making the list, Edeoga has some challenges to overcome, as the Federal High Court in Abuja will on Wednesday 5 October, continue hearing on the matter instituted by Nnaji challenging his exclusion from the repeat primary election that produced Edeoga as candidate.
