Former Arise News Anchor Dr. Chiogo Ikokwu Joins NDC
Dr. Chiogo Constance Ikokwu (Ugonecheora), a former Arise News anchor and aspirant for the Idemili North and South Federal Constituency in the House of Representatives, has officially moved to the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC).
In a statement titled “A Strategic Realignment for Purposeful Service,” Dr. Ikokwu announced her decision, describing it as a carefully considered move made under tight timelines as political parties across Nigeria prepare for primaries.
“I had to make a quick and tough decision to join the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) after careful reflection,” she stated. “With the level of uncertainty, shifting alliances, and ongoing realignments across the political space, it is important to find a platform that is stable, forward-looking, and aligned with the vision for meaningful engagement.”
Dr. Ikokwu acknowledged the challenges of the decision, noting that she hails from Anambra State, where recent political realignments are expected to have significant impact. She explained that key elements of the coalition she identifies with have now aligned with the NDC, making the transition both timely and necessary.
“Ultimately, my focus remains clear: to reach the destination where I can effectively serve the people,” she added. “This move is about positioning, ensuring that I am on a platform that offers the right atmosphere, strength, and opportunity needed to translate commitment into tangible service and impact for my constituency.”
The aspirant reaffirmed her commitment to accountable leadership, people-centered governance, and progress. She appealed for understanding and continued support from her supporters and fellow progressives as they advance with “renewed purpose and determination.”
Dr. Ikokwu concluded with her political mantra: “Politics for Public Good. Take Back Your Government.”
This development comes as political activities intensify nationwide ahead of the next general elections, with several politicians making strategic party switches in recent weeks.
