Biography

Chukwuma Michael Umeoji is a Nigerian politician and a member of the Federal House of Representatives representing Aguata Federal Constituency in Anambra State, in the 9th National Assembly.

Born on January 1, 1967, he was the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) flag bearer in the gubernatorial elections held on 6 November 2021. Despite his selection as the candidate for governor, a party committee disqualified him from the primary election on grounds of 'defiance and insubordination to party authority' and 'doubtful financial status'. He unsuccessfully appealed this disqualification.

A week before the election, Charles Soludo was confirmed as the APGA candidate. In response, Umeoji joined the rival party, the All Progressives Congress (APC).

He graduated from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, with a BA in Philosophy in 1992 and obtained a Master's in Philosophy from Nnamdi Azikiwe University.
