Why PDP Senator, Nnamani, Is On Tinubu/Shettima Campaign Council – Spokesman 

The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council has explained why it included Senator Chimaroke Nnamani on the list of its campaign train released at the weekend.

It said it was never a mistake that Nnamani, a serving Senator on the platform of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is a member of the APC presidential campaign council.

A statement by director, Media and Publicity, of the campaign council, Bayo Onanuga, said: “The PCC will also want to clarify that the appearance of the name of HE Chimaroke Nnamani, a distinguished senator from Enugu State, was not a mistake.

“He is on the list in his own right as a supporter of our presidential candidate, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu. Distinguished Senator Chimaroke Nnamani, who is still away in the United States, is a very close friend of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

“He may not be on the field with us as a PDP senatorial candidate in Enugu East, but his presence is indicative that he may have chosen to give ‘moral support’ to his old-time friend and brother.

“In any case, the PCC cannot dictate the extent of Senator Nnamani’s support for his friend and brother. That is part of his fundamental human right which supersedes any provision in a Party Constitution. His position and allegiance to his party is self-defining and does not need any qualifying by us.

“Any explanation as to his status should be coming from the other party and not from us who are very proud to be associated with him.”

The council also allayed concerns among APC governors that the nominees they submitted were discarded, saying the list released at the weekend was a partial list.

Onanuga stated: “The Presidential Campaign Council of the All Progressives Congress hereby clarifies that the list of members of the campaign council released at the weekend, is a partial list.

“It contains only the directors, deputy directors, secretaries of directorates and key stakeholders.

“The council also assures our esteemed governors that the secretariat of the council has not jettisoned the names submitted by them.

“Some of the nominees of our governors have emerged as part of the leadership, while others will soon emerge as members of the various directorates. ‘No name is left out of the lists,’ said the PCC secretary, Hon. James Faleke.”
