Former Governor of Enugu State, Senator Chimaroke Nnamani (PDP, Enugu East), for the upteenth time, has reiterated his preference for the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to elected Nigeria’s president in 2023 general election.
Senator Nnamani restated untiring support for Tinubu in his country home at Agbani, Enugu State, when he hosted some members of the Asiwaju Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) on Monday.
NewsBits learnt that some of the APC PCC members he hosted were a former President of the Senate, Chief Ken Nnamani; APC PCC spokesman in the Southeast zone, Dr. Josef Onoh; Chief Onyemuche Nnamani, Hon AC Udeh, among others.
Addressing his guests, Senator Nnamani emphasised that come February 25, 2023, Asiwaju Tinubu will be elected the next president of Nigeria, adding that his preference or choice was not for personal reasons but for bringing the Southeast into the mainstream of Nigeria politics.
Also, Senator Ken Nnamani equally restated his own commitment to the Asiwaju Presidential bid, pointing out that it was purely for national interest.
Spokesman of the PCC in South East, Josef Onoh said that Senator Chimaroke Nnamani has remained consistent in abiding by the Asaba, Enugu and Lagos accord of the southern governors that the next Nigeria’s president should be of a southern origin after a northerner, President Muhammadu Buhari’s eight years in power.
Onoh said: “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 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 also lauded the commitment Senator Ken Nnamani has made with the consultations he has engaged in for the process of electing Tinubu as the next president of Nigeria.
“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,” Onoh lauded both Sen. Ken Nnamani and Dr. Chimaroke Nnamani in the most special way and reaffirmed Asiwaju’s immense respect for him and will never take their bond and friendship for granted.
