A Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) chieftain and Senator representing Enugu East Senatorial District, Dr Chimaroke Nnamani, has been listed as a member of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC) ahead of next year’s presidential election.

Nnamani, a former governor of Enugu State, is Number 350 on the 422-member campaign council. He is listed as a member of the local government directorate.

Senator Nnamani had last month described the presidential candidate of the APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, as a strong politician but said he would vote for his own party’s candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.

However, in a report just coming in, the APC PCC said announcing Senator Chimaroke Nnamani as a member of the council was a mistake.

The person, who should have been listed is former Senate President, Senator Ken Nnamani, a member of the council and one of the Spokesmen, Mr Bayo Onanuga, clarified in a chat with Vanguard.

Lamenting the mix-up, Onanuga said the mistake could have arisen from the fact that Chimaroke shares a surname with Ken, also a prominent politician from Enugu.

“It is an error. It should be Ken Nnamani,” he said.

Before the clarification, an aide to Senator Chimaroke Nnamani said the announcement should be ignored.

“Chimaroke is a PDP Senator. He has a PDP re-election ticket. How can he be in Tinubu’s campaign council? Please, ignore it,” the aide had said. (Pieced together from reports by Saturday Vanguard)
