The candidate of the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) for Enugu North and South Federal Constituency, Nelson Maduka Arum, has appointed Uchenna Igboeme as Director of Media and Communications and official spokesperson for his campaign ahead of the January 2027 general elections.

The appointment was announced in a letter issued and signed by Arum.

According to the letter, Igboeme will oversee the campaign’s public messaging, manage media relations, coordinate press engagements and serve as its official voice.

“This appointment takes immediate effect and will remain valid until the conclusion of the election cycle”, the letter read.

Arum congratulated him and expressed confidence in working together to advance the campaign under the slogan, “For the Love of the City.”

Hailing from Iwollo-Oghe in Ezeagu LGA, Enugu State, Igboeme possesses a remarkable ability to convey complex technical media information eloquently and understandably.

He was appointed the programme manager of Afia Radio, where he not only pioneered but made history, by becoming the first broadcaster in Eastern Nigeria to successfully simulcast on both radio and television for an impressive 7 hours during the official launch of the station.

In 2024, he assumed the role of Executive Producer of TEDx Enugu, where he orchestrated a successful event with over a thousand five hundred attendees and esteemed speakers such as H.E Peter Obi, Paul Onwuanibe, Kanayo O Kanayo, Emeka Mba, Napa Onwusah, Nkem Nweke and many others.
