The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, Senator in Enugu State, Dr. Chimaroke Nnamani, has reportedly said that the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu will emerge victorious in the February 2023 presidential poll in Nigeria.
The former governor of Enugu State who revealed who he was rooting for in the coming elections had made the declaration when he hosted members of the Presidential Campaign Council, PCC, of Bola Tinubu in his hometown, Agbani. He had also remarked that his choice was not for personal reasons but for mainstreaming the South-East into Nigerian politics.
Nnamani’s avid support for an opposition presidential candidate against his political party’s candidate was a shocking revelation to political watchers in Enugu state because his boy and one of the biggest financiers of his Ebe-Ano political dynasty that had governed Enugu State since 1999 till date is vying for the governorship of the state under the platform of the PDP.
Members of the APC Presidential Campaign Council, Nnamani hosted included: the former Senate President, Ken Nnamani; the APC PCC spokesman in the South-East, Dr. Josef Onoh; Chief Onyemuche Nnamani (his cousin), Hon AC Udeh, among several others.
