Jude Ezenwafor, the Peoples Democratic Party’s (PDP) candidate for governor in the upcoming Anambra State election, narrowly escaped an attempted assassination after being shot by armed unidentified thugs.
Ezenwafor, who is presently undergoing surgery at a private hospital in Abuja, told reporters early on Saturday morning that he was in danger of dying when he was attacked by gunmen on Friday night at Wuse 2.
Ezenwafor, who is still recovering from severe discomfort, acknowledged that the incident occurred as he was travelling home from an appointment.
“I’m currently in the hospital. The doctors are making efforts to operate me so that they can pull out bullets from my body,” he noted.
According to reports, the PDP Governorship candidate was shot alongside two persons who were with him.
The Anambra governorship election is scheduled for November 2025.
