In a recent development during the All Progressives Congress (APC) ward congresses in Gombe State, Edwin Chukwujeku, an Igbo businessman from Anambra, has been elected as the Assistant Secretary of Bolari East Ward. His election signifies not only personal achievement but also a broader representation of inclusivity within the party, which aims to embrace members from diverse backgrounds across Nigeria.

Chukwujeku expressed pride in his new role, emphasizing that his election demonstrates the national character of the APC and its commitment to accommodating individuals from various ethnic groups. The businessman advocated for other members of the Igbo community to become more involved in politics, illustrating the potential for unity and representation within Nigeria's political landscape, especially for non-indigenes.

Additionally, he acknowledged the support of Gombe State Governor Muhammadu Yahaya, who appointed him as Special Assistant on Inter-Community Affairs. This move, according to Chukwujeku, is a clear indication of the administration's dedication to inclusiveness and recognizing the contributions of non-indigenes in the political framework of the state. He called for further support and consideration for Igbos and other non-indigenes in future political engagements.
