Mrs. Emilia Chidi Egwu Resigns as Aide to Senator Kelvin Chukwu Over Labour Party Affiliation.

In a surprising twist in Enugu East’s political landscape, Mrs. Emilia Chidi Egwu, a senior aide to Senator Kelvin Chukwu, has officially tendered her resignation, citing her dissatisfaction with the senator’s affiliation with the APC .

 The resignation, which has sparked discussions across the political sphere, comes amid ongoing controversies surrounding Senator Chukwu’s position defection to the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Mrs. Egwu, known for her dedication to community service and political advocacy, released her resignation letter expressing her reasons for stepping down. According to her, Senator Chukwu’s alignment with APC does not align with her personal values and vision for the region and the country at large. “I joined this team with the hope that we would foster unity, progress, and inclusivity in our constituency,” she stated. “However, recent developments have made it difficult for me to continue in my role under the APC banner.”

Her resignation follows a period of turbulence for Senator Kelvin Chukwu, who has been at the center of conflicting reports regarding his political stance. While some rumors suggest he has defected to the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP), Senator Chukwu has emphatically denied leaving the Labour Party, calling such claims “false” and part of a campaign to discredit him.

Mrs. Egwu’s decision has added fuel to an already heated political climate.

Despite the resignation, Mrs. Egwu expressed gratitude for the opportunity to serve her community and reiterated her commitment to the greater good of Enugu East. “My decision is not borne out of animosity but a desire to work where my principles can thrive,” she concluded.

This development raises questions about the broader implications for Senator Chukwu’s political future. As his team works to address the fallout, the resignation of a key aide like Mrs. Egwu highlights the challenges he faces in navigating the complex dynamics of party politics in Nigeria.

For now, all eyes remain on Senator Chukwu as he addresses these unfolding events and seeks to maintain his position as a representative of Enugu East Senatorial District. Whether this resignation is an isolated incident or the beginning of more shifts within his camp remains to be seen.
