Abuja, Nigeria – Omo, wetin dey happen for our political matter? Jude Ezenwafor, di Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate wey dey run for Anambra State governorship election, narrowly escape bullet as gunmen attack am for Abuja on July 19, 2025. Na wah! This one no be moin-moin o.
The incident happen for Wuse 2 area as Jude dey come back from appointment. Eyewitnesses report say di unknown assailants don show face and begin fire shot. Jude and two other bros wey dey with am no come serious injuries, but e no be small matter as dem rush dem go hospital for emergency treatment.
Jude dey currently for private hospital dey recover, and doctors don prepare to operate am to remove di bullets wey enter him body. (Chai, wetin we go talk? Na political office na im carry am go hospital like this!) Speaking from him sick bed, Jude don thank God say e survive di attack. E no wan talk wetin happen too much, but e express di life-threatening nature of di koko.
Di motive behind di shooting still dey waka without clarity, and no group don come claim responsibility yet. Security agencies don start di investigation, but you sabi how Nigeria police dey take time before dem fit catch dem. (Chop knuckle for dem if dem fit catch anybody!)
Insiders for PDP dey fear for di safety of political figures, especially with di Anambra election dey come. Jude, wey be big real estate developer, don run as an unopposed candidate, dey focus on economic reform and infrastructure development.
Meanwhile, one of him aides wan remain anonymous when dem call am for comment, but e confirm say di shooting really happen. E just say, ‘Yes, it happened. But it’s not something I want to talk about now, please.’
Chinedu Nsofor, wey dey run for senatorial seat for Anambra South, don talk say him dey pray for nacional healing and peace. E say na God dey save true leaders from harm and suggest say make di spirit of violence and kidnappers just do a disappearing act.
As reactions dey fly around social media, we dey see say Nigerians dey reflect on di koko wey don show face. One Twitter user talk say Nigeria political arena don turn battlefield. Another one don even crack joke say many people don dey suspect say di politicians dey use juju. (What a time to be alive, abi?)
This attack dey point to di growing fears about political violence as elections dey come near. E make sense say supporters dey call for justice and protect dem leaders, but e go make am if electoral processes no turn battlefield. We dey observe this matter sharply, because wetin we need now na peace and unity for this our beloved Naija.
