Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba, former Minister of State for Education, did not attend the ongoing presidential primaries of the All Progressives Congress (APC) over alleged betrayal by the leadership of the ruling party.
POLITICS NIGERIA reports that this reason was disclosed in a statement issued on Tuesday night by Emeka’s younger brother, Chinedu Nwajiuba.
“Many friends are calling to find out why my brother, Dr. Hon. Chukwuemeka Nwajiuba did not come out to address the APC convention.
“Simple. The understanding from the highest levels prior to his involvement, and considering his role in the founding of the APC was that of consensus as was with the National Chairmanship a few months ago.
“With that understanding, the Presidential ticket was to come to the South, and the South East.
“This has been the hope till the end of the negotiations. He does not want to be part of the Dollar and Naira bazaar,” Chinedu said.
As of the time of publishing this report, voting is ongoing at the Eagle Square, Abuja. 14 aspirants are slugging it out.
