PDP Condemns Assassination Attempt on Anambra Governorship Candidate, Demands Arrest of Assailants

 The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has strongly condemned the attempt on the life of its Anambra State governorship candidate, Chief Jude Ezenwafor. The attack occurred in Abuja when gunmen ambushed and opened fire on Ezenwafor's vehicle while he was returning from an appointment.


The PDP believes that certain interests, uncomfortable with Ezenwafor's growing popularity ahead of the November 8, 2025, election, orchestrated the attack. The party also alleges that anti-democratic elements in Anambra State plan to launch smear campaigns against Ezenwafor following the failed assassination attempt.

The PDP has called on the Inspector General of Police to:

- Immediately apprehend the assailants and their sponsors

- Beef up security around Ezenwafor ahead of the election

The PDP has urged Ezenwafor not to be dispirited by the attack, assuring him of the party's support and the people's mandate. The party remains confident that Ezenwafor will emerge victorious in the election, citing his popularity and the people's desire for a transparent, humane, and result-driven administration.

The PDP has condemned the APC administration for its alleged insensitivity, corruption, and inability to address the country's insecurity challenges. The party sees the attack on Ezenwafor as a sad commentary on the state of security in Nigeria.
