Sen Kelvin Chukwu revalidates APC membership, laid rumour to rest
Senator Kelvin Chukwu has revalidated his All Progressives Congress (APC) membership, finally laying to rest the rumour that he has not defected to the ruling party.

Addressing the press shortly after he registered at Amuri, Chukwu said he had no regret dumbing Labour Party for APC. He is very pleased with president Ahmed Bola Tinubu he loves Governor Peter Mbah, the senator said to the cameras.
Before 22 February 2023, Kelvin Chukwu was nobody in Enugu State politics. On that date his brother Oyibo Chukwu, LP senatorial candidate was gruesomely murdered in one of the dirtiest political assassinations in history. Gunmen attacked him along Amechi road. When they couldn’t get on his bulletproof car, the assailants burnt him alive, while inside the car.
The event turned a lot around. Federal Government ordered that the election scheduled for February 25 be postponed. LP compensated Chukwu’s family by replacing Oyibo with Kelvin. Out of pity, the people voted Kelvin to Senate in the largest election turnout that drove his PDP rival Chimaroke Nnamani mad.
So Kelvin ran on a ticket that was squarely against President Bola Tinubu and Governor Peter Mbah.
No one ever believed he had truly defected to APC. But his Amuri address has laid cleared the doubts. To his people, the act was nothing but a betrayal.
“I’m disappointed. We’re highly disappointed in him [Sen Kelvin Chukwu],” Uchenna Ogbodo, Amuri native told InfoWarsHQ on a phone chat.
