The immediate past commissioner for Environment in Enugu State, Chijioke Edeoga, has emerged the Labour Party Governorship candidate in the State.
Edoga, who contested the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Governorship primary election, said on Sunday morning: “Yes, it’s true. I’m now the Labour Party governorship candidate.”
Prior to the PDP primary election, he was strongly rumoured to be the aspirant to beat in the exercise, but he was schemed out of the consensus arrangement which went in favour of Barrister Peter Mbah.
However, news filtered on Saturday evening that Edoga had defected to Labour Party and picked the Governorship ticket.
