Inclusion Of Chimaroke Nnamani’s Name In APC Campaign Council Deliberate – PCC

The All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) has said that the inclusion of the name of the former governor of Enugu State, Senator Chimaroke Nnamani in the campaign council was not a mistake.

A statement signed by the Director, Media and Publicity of the council, Mr Bayo Onanuga said the name of the senator who presently represents Enugu East in the National Assembly on the platform of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is on the list in his own right as a supporter of the presidential candidate of the party, 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 are self-defining and do 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 PCC also said the list of members of the campaign council released at the weekend, is a partial list. It insists that the list contains only the directors, deputy directors, secretaries of directorates and key stakeholders.

The council assures governors on the platform of the party that the secretariat of the council has not jettisoned the name 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.
