Widow of Chief Odumegu Ojukwu, Bianca Ojukwu on Saturday floored her step-son, Emeka Ojukwu Jr. in the Anambra State governorship election.
While Bianca is a staunch supporter of Willie Obiano, Emeka Ojukwu Jr. had recently decamped to the All Progressives Congress, APC, and thrown his weight behind the APC candidate, Tony Nwoye.
The wife of the former Biafran leader Dim Odimegwu Ojukwu expressed joy with the victory recorded by the APGA candidate at the polling units in her ward, Umudim Central School, in Nnewi North LGA.
A breakdown of results collated in the unit showed that APGA recorded 261 votes, APC 98, and PDP 80.
Speaking to newsmen in the area, Mrs. Ojukwu, said, “In my area, APGA is winning. I believe we will go on to win the election.”
