The Senator representing Enugu East in the National Assembly; Chimaroke Nnamani, has claimed that the presidential candidate of the Labour Party; Peter Obi, “set the Igbo political trajectory 24 years back”.
The Senator who lost his senatorial return bid to the Labour Party’s candidate; Kelvin Chukwu, on Sunday accused Obi of playing wicked and dangerous politics. Nnamani made the claim via his official Twitter handle on Monday.
“Peter “Gringory” Obi set the Igbo political trajectory 24 years back. He has become a twin blight and scourge on the land. His devious opium served to Christians within sections of Nigeria and to Igbo domiciled in different sections of Nigeria is wicked and dangerous.”
According to the result released by INEC, the LP candidate polled 69, 136 votes to defeat Nnamani of the People’s Democratic Party who scored 48, 701 votes.
Relatedly, Nnamani has announced his exit from the PDP. In a signed statement on Monday, he expressed appreciation to his constituents for the unalloyed support over the years.
Nnamani stated that he had consulted with his associates and constituents and decided to quit the PDP on account of irreconcilable differences with the party’s national leadership.
He added that he had moved on and hoped that his modest contributions to the development of his constituency would be the building blocks on which his successors could build on.
