Dr Chimaroke Nnamani, a former governor of Enugu State and current senator for the state’s Enugu East district, has reaffirmed his support for All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate Asiwaju Bola Tinubu. He said that his support for Tinubu stems not from any personal preference but from a desire to integrate the southeast into Nigerian politics.
On Monday night, Nnamani hosted several members of the Asiwaju Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) at his country house in Agbani, Enugu state, where he reaffirmed his support for Asiwaju.
Former Senate President Ken Nnamani, South East APC PCC Spokesperson Dr Josef Onoh, Chief Onyemuche Nnamani, and Hon. Adolphus C. Udeh were among the APC PCC members that paid a visit to the PDP Senator.
In his speech to the crowd, Nnamani predicted that Asiwaju Tinubu would be elected president of Nigeria on February 25, 2023, since he has the attributes necessary to lead and unite the country.
Ex-Senate President Ken Nnamani has publicly congratulated the ex-governor for his preference in the Asiwaju for Presidency and reaffirmed his allegiance to the campaign.
Sen. Chimaroke Nnamani, according to Josef Onoh, PCC spokesman for the South East, has consistently upheld the Asaba, Enugu, and Lagos accord of the southern governors, which stipulates that the next president of Nigeria should be of southern origin following eight years of power by the northern region.
“I thank Senator Chimaroke Nnamani for standing by that principle and his commitment towards ensuring that Asiwaju emerges the next president of Nigeria. I have made it clear that the time has come not just for renewed hope for Nigeria but for our future generation.
“Asiwaju as a father has come to a point where he said that what he wants to offer is a better foundation for all parts of the country, and I’m with Asiwaju in that course,” Onoh said.
In addition, Onoh praised Senator Ken Nnamani’s efforts to guarantee that Tinubu is elected as the next president of Nigeria by participating in discussions to that end.
“Your commitments to the project Nigeria has renewed hope of the south easterners’ reintegration and your politics without sentiment is a guide to our people”, he said
He spoke highly of Sen. Ken Nnamani and Dr Chimaroke Nnamani, assuring them of Asiwaju’s unwavering regard and vowing never to take their relationship for granted.
