    A photo showing the moment the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) gubernatorial candidate, Peter Mbah, fell on his knees to beg youths in Enugu State ahead of the gubernatorial elections has surfaced on social media.

     

    This is coming after supporters of the Labour Party (LP), popularly known as ‘Obidients’, had disgraced Mbah when he visited Ugwu Di Nso Annual Youth Lenten Retreat to solicit support ahead of the state gubernatorial election on Saturday 11, March.

     

     

    However, the youths refused to listen to him nor allow him to address the church as they repeatedly chanted “Obi! Obi!! Obi!!!.”

     

    The PDP candidate also shared drinks during the visit but the youths threw away the drinks, shouting they do not need them.

     

     

    In the photo that surfaced, the PDP candidate could be seen on his knees, begging the youths to forgive him and vote for his party at the forth-coming governorship elections.

    Wike’s loyalist, Nnamani loses out as PDP withdraws from Enugu East Senatorial race

     

     

     

    The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has withdrawn from the upcoming elections in Enugu East Senatorial Zone. The withdrawal is official.

     

    Having officially expelled Mr Chimaroke Nnamani from the party, the PDP said it has withdrawn from the senatorial race.

     

     

    People’s Democratic Party on February 10th officially expelled Mr Chimaroke Nnamani, who is their candidate running for the seat. Nnamani had earlier on January 20th, been suspended by the party. According to the National Secretary of PDP, “the NWC of PDP has after a very extensive review and consideration of the affairs of our Party in the country, pursuant to the provisions of the PDP Constitution (as amended in 2017) approved the suspension of Senator Chimaroke Nnamani (Enugu State)… with effect from today, Friday, January 20, 2023, over allegations of anti-party activities”.

    Nnamani had been heavily involved with campaigns for Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who is the APC presidential candidate. He had even intensified his activities after he was suspended, and dared his party to do its worst.

     

    Consequently, on February 10, PDP decided to completely expel him.

     

    Read their statement below;

     

    The National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) at its 566th meeting today, Friday, February 10, 2023, approved the expulsion…Senator Chimaroke Nnamani – (Enugu State)… for anti-Party activities and other grave offences in violation of the Constitution of the PDP (as amended in 2017).”

     

    Having officially expelled him from the party, PDP has withdrawn from the senatorial race, as, according to Nigeria’s electoral law, one can only run for political office in Nigeria if he is sponsored by his party.

     

    Despite having filed a case against PDP for suspending him, Nnamani has continued his support for Tinubu, refusing to back down on his anti-party activities.

     

    At the moment, Nnamani has no backing from his party, which, through the expulsion withdrew from the Senate race. He is therefore out of the race.

     

    So, for the first time since 1999, the PDP will not be fielding any candidate for the 2023 Senatorial Election.

     

     

    Reacting to the situation, former National Auditor of the party Barr. Ray Nnaji confirmed that by his expulsion, PDP has no candidate for the Enugu East Senate position.

     

    Hear him; it’s not a matter of Electoral Act; it’s a constitutional matter. The constitution says for one to contest for any electoral position, he must belong to a politcial party.

     

    “There is no room for a private candidate. So, by virtue of that expulsion, Chimaroke is not qualified to contest election.

     

    “He also has no business at the Senate as it stands. The party should move to declare his seat vacant because he has no party as a Senator.”

     

     

    Nnamani, who is one of the loyalists to Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, is yet to react to the withdrawal.
