His biggest challenge as a black Republican candidate in Michigan is winning the primaries. It's gonna be a very tough journey.
That's not true, the current senatorial candidate for the republican party in michigan is a black man John James and he won very easily. The same thing happened two years ago

Great news!

Of what benefit? You think he will be stealing American money and be using it to build Benue? Africans really need to wake up. Barack Obama is from Kenya, all the whole world knows of the devastation brought to Africa by America government during his regime.

Nothing different he will just help America to build their country.

If he is contesting in Michigan under Republicans, then he should win.

Michigan is a red zone in Usa

BTW, Amaka people would be dissapointed..

Michigan is a swing state bro that twice voted Obama and Only narrowly won by Trump.

So if he was in Nigeria he would not not be able to run for governorship cause the minimum age is 35years

the election is 2022 and by then he will be 37years old... Probably that might be why he can contest.

The person I responded to was saying it's difficult for Mr Austin to win as a black man in the Republican party and I pointed him to James as example that what he is saying is not true. Moreover, I think James will beat Gary peters this year.

A 34-year-old Nigerian, Austin Chenge, is in the race for the governorship position in the state of Michigan in the United States of America (USA), come year 2022.

A statement by Abdul-Rahman Balogun, Head of Media and Public Relations unit, Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), indicated that Chenge, a native of Benue State in Nigeria, will challenge USA Representative Lamar Smith for the ticket under the Republican Party.

It said Chenge announced his intention to run for governor of Michigan in March 2020, making him the first Republican to do so.

According to the statement, the young Nigerian is an embodiment of the American dream who has repeatedly stunned critics by achieving what most people would consider impossible.

“Chenge is a Law graduate from the University of Birmingham, England. Since the year 2018, he has been serving with the US military as a specialist. He is a decorated with the Achievement Medal as a Distinguished Honour Graduate with a Culmulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 99.8% and for exceptional performance while on active duty.”

The statement said that Chenge is popular locally for deg the popular tricycle, known as “Wazobia tricycle”, in 2016, designed to improve the lives of peasant farmers all over Africa.

A brief bio on his website said, “Ever-smiling and always the big dreamer, Austin Chenge, 34, from Grand Rapids, is the embodiment of the American Dream.

“Austin has always stunned critics by achieving what others consider impossible. A graduate of the School of Law at the University of Birmingham England, Austin raised over $200,000 in funding for his first startup, Holla@Me/Holla.com (now sold) in England and soon expanded to San Jose in California.

“He created Waving in a social networking environment in 2011, a concept later seen on Facebook’ Wave. In 2016 his tricycle design (termed Wazobia tricycle) aimed at improving the lives of peasant farmers, made history in the West African nation of Nigeria as the first designed, engineered and manufactured by a person of Nigerian descent. Since 2018 he has served as a Specialist in the US Army, where he has been decorated with an Army Achievement Medal as Distinguished Honor Graduate with a CGPA of 99.8% and for exceptional performance while on Active duty.

“As of March, 2020 Austin became the first Republican Candidate for Governor of Michigan, for the 2022 election.“

Don't pay them any attention.

After white supremacists, only last week
attempted to abduct a white incumbent governor who happens to be a Democrat, some think it prudent to push a black Republican who we all know they'll summarily dismiss without a whimper.

I wonder if Nigerians actually have the sagacity to discern.

[quote author=GoodFaith post=94936663][/quote] Michigan currently has a Democratic governor and senators.

Michigan is a rare state with Large urban areas like Detroit that mainly votes for democrats and large Rural areas that mainly votes Republican

The suburban votes often makes the difference.

Bro, Michigan is even usually strongly democrats untill recent history.


Michigan is the home of Blue collar jobs in America and most of those labour unions are strong democrats.

Ever heard Detroit?
