| Chimaroke Nnamani |
A former governor of Enugu State, Chimaroke Nnamani, has formally returned to the Peoples Democratic Party.
He has also been issued with PDP membership card.
Nnamani was a PDP governor between 1999 and 2007 and represented Enugu West zone in the Senate between 2007 and 2011.
He left the PDP in late 2010 to form his own party, People for Democratic Change, ahead of the 2011 general elections.
Nnamani’s return to the PDP on Thursday was amid tight security manned by mobile police officers.
The event held at his Agbani Ward in the Nkanu West Local Government Area of Enugu State.
Nnamani’s aides said the presence of security personnel was inevitable as there were reports that the state government had concluded plans to stop the occasion.
The PDP Chairman in Agbani ward, Mr. Monday Ngene, alleged that the former chairman of Nkanu West council, Mr. Ekene Okenwa; and Nkanu West council PDP Chairman, Mr. Vincent Nnaji, had summoned him to the Government House, Enugu, and interrogated him for registering Nnamani.
“They also demanded to know the number of party membership cards in my possession,” he said.
“I replied that the cards issued to me by the state Chairman of the party, Mr. Vita Abba, had been used for the registration and the rest were still at Agbani. I was ordered to return the remaining cards the next day to the local government party chairman and I was asked to go,” stated Ngene.
He said he did not return the cards as directed and rather continued to register more members in the ward.
Meanwhile, Nnamani said he was happy to return to the PDP.
“As I answered the clarion call in 1996/99, I thank God that a day like this has come again and you can count on me. You can stand and count me as an Nkanu man; proud and tall, unconquered, undefeated and unintimidated,” he said.
