Nigeria’s former Ambassador to
Spain, Bianca Ojukwu, has lost her bid to contest the Senate seat in 2019.
Bianca, the widow of the late Dim
Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, failed in her bid for the Anambra South All
Progressives Grand Alliance, APGA, ticket.
Bianca was beaten by Prince
Nicholas Ukachukwu.
In the keenly contested primary
held at the Ekwulobia township stadium in Aguata, Ojukwu polled 177 votes to
Ukachukwu’s 211.
There was a heavy shooting at the
venue of the primary before the election which disrupted proceedings for a
while.
The former beauty queen was
supported by Governor Willie Obiano. An oil magnate, Chief Ifeanyi Ubah,
bidding for the same ticket, was disqualified by the party earlier in the week.
The Ekwulobia stadium was under
heavy security as Commissioner of Police, Garba Umar was personally there to
ensure there was no breach of the peace.
