PDP Terminates Ex-Governor Nnamani, Fayose’s son, and Others
The PDP made it clear that the decision to suspend Nnamani was based on claims that the former governor did things that hurt the party.
Senator Chimaroke Nnamani, a former governor of Enugu State, has been expelled from the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).
The party’s spokesman, Debo Ologunagba, said in a statement on Friday that the ban goes into effect right away.
He explained that the National Working Committee’s (NWC) decision to suspend Nnamani was based on claims that the former governor was working against the party.
Ayeni Funso from Ekiti North, Ajijola Lateef Oladimeji from Ekiti Central, Emiola Adenike Jennifer from Ekiti South II, Ajayi Babatunde Samuel from Ekiti North II, Olayinka James Olalere from Ekiti Central, Akerele Oluyinka from Ekiti North I, and Fayose Oluwajomiloju John were all also suspended (Ekiti Central I).

The statement says, “The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has approved the suspension of Senator Chimaroke Nnamani (Enugu State) and Chief Chris Ogbu (Imo State) with effect from today, Friday, January 20, 2023, over allegations of anti-party activities, according to the PDP Constitution (as amended in 2017).
“The PDP calls on all leaders, significant players, and the throngs of Party members across the nation to remain unified and committed to our Party’s objective to rescue, rebuild, and redirect our nation from misrule,” it says.
Recently, Nnamani, a senator from the Enugu East senatorial district, openly declared his support for Bola Tinubu, the APC’s presidential candidate.
