PDP recently suspended the Senator for anti-party activities over his refusal to embrace the presidential ambition of his party’s candidate, Atiku Abubakar.

In a statement he released on Sunday, Nnamani, said he is supporting Tinubu, because the PDP failed to abide by the provision in its constitution that key political offices should be rotated between the Northern and the Southern part of the country to ensure equity, justice, and fairness.

In the statement, Nnamani said, “Conscious of the need to share and rotate key political offices among the diverse people of our country, the PDP constitution clearly stated that it shall adhere at all times to the policy of the rotation and zoning of the party and public elective offices in pursuance of the principles of equity, justice, and fairness.

The former Governor noted that in 2019, PDP allowed the North to contest the primaries for the presidency in Port Harcourt, Rivers State where Atiku emerged the presidential candidate.

“It was expected that in 2023, the PDP would, in a corresponding manner, allow the South to contest for the plum position, but the party would, in its decision, open the contest for both the Northern and Southern aspirants.”

“The action of the PDP amounted to injustice and a lack of equity, maintaining that it is morally wrong to leave power in the north after President Muhammadu Buhari’s tenure in 2023.”
