2023 Presidency: Campaign Photo of PDP Senator with Tinubu Surfaces Online

  • There are indications that Chimaroke Nnamani, a senator of the PDP, is pro-Tinubu in his political orientation
  • This is as Nnamani has been spotted in a campaign photo with Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the APC's presidential candidate
  • Recall that the former Enugu governor was recently appointed as a member of Tinubu's campaign council

A campaign photo of Senator Chimaroke Nnamani and Bola Tinubu has been shared on Facebook by Joe Igbokwe.

Igbokwe shared a post on his Facebook page on Tuesday, September 27, insinuating that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senator is fully in support of Tinubu's presidential bid.

But the APC explained how Nnamani made it to Tinubu's presidential campaign council list.

In a chat with journalists on Saturday, September 24, Bayo Onanuga, one of the spokesmen of the council, noted that during the compilation of the said list, Chimaroke's name was mistaken for that of Ken Nnamani, since both southeast politicians have the same surnames.

In his conversation with the media house, the spokesman of the council categorically said:

“It is an error. It should be Ken Nnamani."
