The Labour Party candidate for Anambra East/West Federal Constituency House of Representatives, Chief Peter Udeogalanya Aniekwe, was not born with a silver spoon and has never held a government appointment. Everything he owns in life was acquired through hard-work and God’s grace. Today, MacPee does not only dine and wine with the “mighty and caliber”, but he is also one of them.
Aniekwe, popularly known as Macpee was born on May 5, 1970, to Chief Stephen and IYOM (Mrs) Christiana Aniekwe. His father, Aniekwe, is the son of Onuorah Akata from Umuojechi kindred, Umuoje in Oroma Etiti Anam in Anambra West Local Government Area, Anambra State while his mother hails from Okoye Adaba family, Umuogwu in Umuikwu Anam, same Anambra West as the father.
Macpee has several chieftancy titles which include: Mmilinaliugwu Omabala, Eze Ndi Avomma Anambra etc which are proof of his many achievements and philanthropies in life.

As fate would have it, Macpee didn’t proceed to secondary school to continue his education due to circumstances beyond his control, at the time. But as a determined youngman, he started learning Iron Welding.
However, his father died in 1990, making it impossible for him to start the Iron Welding business. Determined never to give up, he moved on to learn another trade which is Freight Forwarding. He became a licensed Clearing Agent as they are known in local parlance; a business, he does so expertly that his name is a house-hold name among importers and known all over the Sea and Cargo airports in Nigeria.
