"Nnamani claimed to be God who thinks he is unbeatable due to a culture of thuggery. Comrade Nnamchi also noted that the senator has never consulted anyone since he bought forms for the election, rather he believes in the old way of election which is rigging."

He noted that his members have been unable to access him since working for the senator in 2019 and now he is back to use them again in 2023

In conclusion, Nnamchi said that they were neglected by the senator who adopted Sen. Ahmed Bola Tinubu of APC without the notice of his followers.

The PDP youth leader also maintained that the group has also seen competence in the APC senatorial candidate, Ada Ogbu and shall support her for better representation in Enugu East Senatorial District.
