The PDP chieftain and former governor of Enugu state added that Tinubu, a former Lagos state governor, paid his dues for years through his performance as a politician.
“Tinubu paid his dues over decades, performing creditably in governance and politics. With an A-Game, they could not wrestle it from him. He got worried, sounded the alarm for his troops, Shettima and others rallied,” Nnamani tweeted.
