A former Enugu State Governor Chimaroke Nnamani has insisted
that his suspension by the Peoples Democratic Party, National Working Committee
was ill-conceived and unwarranted.
Senator Nnamani also stated that his right to fair hearing
was violated because he was neither informed of any complaints against him nor
was he invited on the matter.
The PDP announced the suspension of the senator representing
Enugu East, alongside other chieftains of the party in Ekiti, Enugu and Imo
states over allegations of anti-party activities, which was effective on
January, 20, 2023.
The lawmaker in a statement signed on Monday and made
available to journalists in Abuja said, “The PDP ‘Penkelemesi’ suspension
without hearing is incurably messy and will collapse.
“My decision to pitch
tent with Asawaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu was necessitated by the PDP’s refusal to
comply with its own constitution to wit; that key political offices should at
all times be rotated between the South and North to guarantee harmony, peace,
fairness, equity and justice.
“As it is now, there is no fairness, justice and equity in
the PDP because both the presidential candidate and the National Chairman are
from the same region.”
Commenting further, the lawmaker noted that he was
exercising his right for freedom of choice and association, asserting that he
stands with the All Progressives Congress presidential candidate, Tinubu.
Going forward, the lawmaker advised PDP leadership to
address the issues within the party maintaining that his suspension by the NWC
is defective in both moral and constitutional supports.
