A sitting Peoples Democratic Party Senator representing Enugu East Senatorial District, Senator Chimaroke Nnamani, has surprisingly been listed as a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council for the forthcoming 2023 elections.
It would be recalled that the APC released the Presidential Campaign Council list on Friday following weeks of anxiety and series of postponements.
According to the list of 422-member APC Presidential Campaign Council released in Abuja, President Muhammadu Buhari is the Chairman of the campaign council that has the party’s presidential candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu and national chairman of the party, Senator Abdullahi Adamu, as deputy chairman, one and two respectively.
Nnamani, a former governor of Enugu State between 1999 and 2007, but currently representing Enugu East Senatorial District in the upper chamber of the National Assembly, is listed as a member of the local government directorate. He is the 350th slot on the APC’s 422-member PCC list signed by the secretary of the council, James Faleke.
The council will be inaugurated on Monday by President Buhari.
Vice- President Yemi Osinbajo, who was a presidential aspirant at the last June convention where Tinubu emerged as standard bearer, was missing on the list.
Meanwhile, last month, in an interview, Senator Nnamani admitted that Tinubu is a strong politician that he admires a lot especially because of his political achievements but would prefer to vote for the PDP presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar.
Nnamani is also seeking a return to the Senate for the third time and is listed by INEC as the PDP senatorial candidate for Enugu East in the February 2023 election.
