Thursday, July 31, 2025 - Posters of Mrs
Justina Azuka, wife of slain Anambra lawmaker representing Onitsha North 1
constituency, Late Justice Azuka has surfaced, showing her, seeking support to
replace her demised husband.
Justice Azuka was kidnapped in Onitsha on the eve of
Christmas of 2024 while returning home for the yuletide. His decomposing body
was later found at the foot of the Second Niger Bridge in February, despite
rumours of payment of heavy ransom for his release.
Since after the confirmation of his death, there have been
clamour for the wife, Mrs Justina Azuka to replace the late lawmaker, with many
people appealing to the Labour Party to nominate her as candidate.
Her poster as the candidate of African Democratic Congress,
ADC, has, however surfaced, leading to controversy about the refusal of the LP
to give her their platform as compensation for her husband’s death.
But a source within the LP who didn’t want to be named said:
“Initially she was nominated by LP but because of INEC inconsistency in the
case between Abure and Nenadi Usman, the leaders of LP moved her candidature to
ADC.
“Labour party leaders will be leading her aspiration to
victory and that I can assure you 100 percent. LP will also not be contesting
against her in that election.”
Meanwhile, the All Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, is fielding another lady from the Ikpeazu dynasty, Mimih Ikpeazu-Azikiwe for the contest.
