The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate for the forthcoming election in Anambra State, Jude Ezenwafor, has been shot by gunmen in Abuja.

Reports said that Ezenwafor was shot around the Wuse 2 area of Abuja on Friday night.

The PDP governorship candidate was said to be returning from an appointment when he was shot.

Ezenwafor has since been receiving treatment at an undisclosed hospital in the nation’s capital.

“I’m currently[sic] in the hospital. The doctors are making efforts to operate me [sic] so that they can pull out bullets from my body,” Ezenwafor told Leadership newspaper on Saturday.
