Former governor of Enugu State, Chimaraoke Nnamani, has
returned to the Peoples Democratic Party, the party chairman in his ward has
confirmed.
Nnamani was in charge of Enugu between 1999 to 2007, and
also represented Enugu East senatorial district at the National Assembly
between 2007 and 2011 on the platform of the PDP.
But differences with his successor, Sullivan Chime, forced
him to leave PDP in 2011.
Things fell apart between him and the PDP and he floated a
new party called People for Democratic Change.
It was gathered on Monday that Nnamani has again registered
as a PDP member at his ward in Ojiagu Agbani, in Nkanu West Local Government
Area of Enugu State.
PDP chairman in the ward, Mr. Uwa Nnamoko, confirmed
Nnamani’s return.
“Your information is correct, Nnamani has returned to PDP.
“He has officially registered with us, we are happy he is
back,” Nnamoko told Punch.
Just recently, Nnamani’s ‘political riva, Sullivan Chime,
left the party for the All Progressives Congress.
A former governor of the old Anambra State, Jim Nwobodo, a
former Senate President, Ken Nnamani, Chime, and a former Speaker of Enugu
State House of Assembly, Eugene Odoh, also recently dumped PDP for the APC.
