The National Coordinator, APGA Media Warriors Forum, Evangelist Chinedu Obigwe has urged the supporters of African Democratic Congress (ADC) for Onitsha North I State Constituency bye election to stop playing politics with death of Hon. Justice Azuka.

Azuka, LP member representing Onitsha North I Constituency was kidnapped in December 2024 and murdered by the abductors, and his wife, Justin is seeking to be elected for the same position under the platform of ADC on August 16 bye election which APGA equally filed another female candidate to battle for.

According to Obigwe, the widow ought to be mourning the unfortunate demise of her " husband and looking after their children but she has unfortunately abdicated that responsibility to be chasing shadows in the guise of contesting the August 16th bye election."

He argued that it was sacrilegious for any man to make the woman not to focus her attention in taking care of the kids Azuka left behind for her.

"If actually Tony Nwoye, Idu Emeka and others pushing Justin Azuka to contest the August 16th bye election care about her welfare and that of Azuka children, they will raise between 50 to 100million naira and give to her to go into any business of her choice that will empower her for life and put her in a position that she will be able to look after herself and that of her children.

"In my opinion, politics can be likened to a gambling game. But one thing I know for sure is that if she did not win, they will abandon her and that is when the cobwebs covering Justin Azuka eyes will clear from her eyes. They should stop dragging her around in the name of politics and allow her to live up to the expectations of her late husband in the person of Justice Azuka," he added.
