* Resolves to swim, sink with Tinubu
Senator Chimaroke Nnamani (PDP-Enugu) has described as null and void, his suspension from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) by the National working committee (NWC).
Nnamani, who represents Enugu-East at the National Assembly, made the declaration through a statement in Abuja.
“The PDP suspension without hearing is incurably messy and will collapse,” he said.
Nnamani said his decision to pitch tent with the All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate Asawaju Bola Tinubu was as a result of PDP’s refusal to comply with its own constitution that key political offices should be rotated between South and North to guarantee harmony, peace, fairness, equity and justice.
“As it is now, there is no fairness, justice and equity in the PDP because both the presidential candidate and the National Chairman are from the same region.
“I am only exercising my right for freedom of choice and association. On this score, I stand with Tinubu,” he said.
Nnamani urged the leadership of the PDP to put its house in order, saying that his suspension from the party lacks both moral and constitutional backings.
