Report has it that
Kelvin Chukwu, the youngest brother of the assassinated Labour Party candidate in the Enugu East senatorial election, has been nominated as the successor to his brother.
Recall that INEC shifted the Enugu East senatorial election to hold hold on Saturday, March 11 alongside the gubernatorial and House of Assembly elections, following the gruesome murder of Oyibo Chukwu, a former Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) chairman in Enugu State, on Wednesday, February 22, three days to the presidential and National Assembly election.
The younger Chukwu clinched the Labour Party ticket by winning a whole 223 out of the 231 votes cast at Top 10 Hotel in Golf Estate, Enugu.
50 year old Kelvin Chukwu, who is also a lawyer, mass communication graduate and businessman, pledged, in his acceptance speech, to represent the senatorial area effectively and fulfil all promises by his elder brother during the electioneering campaign.
It was reported that Kelvin Chukwu’s two elder brothers, Chief Lucky Chukwu, a former commissioner in Enugu State, and Professor Arthur Chukwu of the Nigerian Law School, both lawyers, unanimously chose their younger brother to run in consideration of his extraordinary humility, kindness, devotion to the Catholic Church and an uncanny ability to get along with people, including complete strangers.
