Sen. Ken Nnamani. Former Senate President. |
The
Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC in Enugu State, Dr. Ben Nwoye, has
challenged a leader of the party in the state and former Senate President,
Senator Ken Nnamani to clarify a statement credited to him while he was commissioning
a four-room building with the governor of Enugu State, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi.
Ben
Nwoye has asked Senator Nnamani to explain why he could not campaign openly for
his party’s governorship candidate but was telling the PDP governorship
candidate that “a good product markets itself” and promised that when the time
comes he will say where his “people belong”.
The
party chairman said the APC in Enugu state had observed Senator Nnamani’s
double standard for far too long, adding that the party can no longer fold its
arms and watch him de-market the APC in Enugu state.
“We
deplore this attitude of being APC in Abuja and PDP in Enugu state,” the chairman
said, querying further, “How can the vice chairman South APC Presidential
Campaign Council feel more comfortable in the midst of candidates of the PDP
than amongst APC candidates almost on the eve of an election?”
Dr
Nwoye said that Senator Nnamani was surrounded at that event by candidates of
the opposition PDP for various offices, and wondered what signal he was sending
to APC teaming supporters in Enugu state.
“This
is a man who has just been unveiled as the vice chairman of the APC
Presidential Campaign Council romancing and hobnobbing with the opposition
party and making insinuations that his people would vote for the opposition,”
the party chieftain noted.
“It
is these same people that go to Abuja to mislead the authorities that the PDP
governor in Enugu state is working for Buhari. Nothing can be farther from the
truth. How can the PDP governor work for Buhari when he is still busy
campaigning for PDP presidential and National Assembly candidates?,” Dr Nwoye
added.
He
said that APC is very strong in Enugu state and the southeast zone and urged
the authorities in Abuja to ignore the self-serving misinformation being
propagated by PDP apologists like Senator Nnamani who market the story that the
APC needs some help from PDP in the southeast in order to re-elect Buhari.
“How
can people who are so scared of their impending loss of election be the same
people being touted to help the APC? We want to say it loud and clear that the
APC will sweep the polls in Enugu state. We don’t need anybody to help us.
Buhari will score over 90% of the votes that will be cast in the southeast,” he
said, warning Senator Nnamani that the party will not hesitate to commence
disciplinary action against him should he persist in his anti-party utterances
and activities, urging him to retrace his steps forthwith.
“Sen.
Nnamani has a choice to make: to remain in the APC or to return to the PDP
where it seems he feels more comfortable. He can’t belong to both parties at
the same time,” Dr Nwoye noted.
