The former minister is said to currently be registered as a member of the ruling party at his ward of Ugwuegu in the Afikpo North Local Government Area of Ebonyi State.
The defection has supposedly been confirmed by Chukwu’s former Special Assistant on Media and Communication, Dan Nwomeh but the former minister is yet to issue an official statement.
