Deputy Gov Of Enugu Joins 2015 Senatorial Race

Deputy Governor of Enugu State, Chief Sunday Onyebuchi, has joined the race for the 2015 Enugu East senatorial zone on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.

A top member of the ruling party in the state said yesterday that the deputy governor had already informed the leadership of the party that he would contest the senatorial seat, adding that the party stakeholders were aware of his ambition, though he is yet to make it public.

The deputy governor, according to the source, who pleaded anonymity, has also embarked on wide consultations with leaders of the party within and outside the six local government areas that make up Enugu East senatorial zone, including Enugu North, Enugu South, Enugu East,  Nkanu East, Nkanu West and Isi-Uzo.

“I can tell you authoritatively that the deputy governor, Sunday Onyebuchi, is in the race for Enugu East senatorial seat and he is very serious with his ambition.

“He is working underground and consulting with party stakeholders whom he has duly informed of his senatorial ambition and I believe at the right time, he would declare publicly,” he said.
