Chimaroke Nnamani: South-east should align with Tinubu’s government, negotiate for political largesse

Chimaroke Nnamani, senator representing Enugu south, says the south-east geopolitical zone should support the administration of Bola Tinubu when he is eventually sworn in as president of the country.

Nnamani, who was recently expelled from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has been consistent about his support for Tinubu, the president-elect.

The country’s main opposition party expelled him for “anti-party activities”.

Ebeano family, his political organisation, has since joined the All Progressives Congress (APC).

In a statement on Thursday, Nnamani said Tinubu’s administration would be fair to the people of the south-east, adding that the former governor of Lagos has the experience to govern the country.

“Tinubu has won the election. If anybody has any reason to think otherwise, the courts are there to adjudicate,” the former governor of Enugu said.

“The courts are there as part of the electioneering process.

“What I expect our people to do is to align with the incoming administration, negotiate like others for national resources and political largesse for the benefit of our citizens.

“A Tinubu administration will be fair, just and equitable in the allocation of resources to every part of Nigeria.”

Nnamani lost his bid to secure re-election to the senate.
