Anambra State Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, governorship candidate, Jude Ezenwafor, has claimed that surviving an assassination attempt is a sign that he is destined to be governor.
DAILY POST reported that Ezenwafor narrowly escaped death when he was attacked by alleged assassins in Abuja last month.
He said the gunshot was a pure assassination attempt, adding that he is very traumatised by the event.
“They rained bullets all over my body, but I am bouncing back,” he said in an interview on Arise News on Thursday night.
The politician, who now moves with a walking stick and is limping, said it has got to do with the incident.
“Today actually is my first day to wear trouser. I’m bouncing back. it was traumatising,” he said.
Asked how he processed the news about his rumoured death, he said, “It was more a bit of lesson. A lesson in life, to know that I can always die any day, and that I’m not going to die soon.
“Because it’s a sign also that I’m destined to be the governor of Anambra state. [I’m] very confident about that.”
