The Nation newspaper reports that chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Enugu State are not taking lightly the nullification of Senator Gilbert Nnaji’s election by the Election Petition Tribunal, which upheld the petition filed by a former governor of the state, Dr. Chimaroke Nnamani, who is the candidate of the People for Democratic Change (PDC) in the last National Assembly elections.
This development, sources told The Nation, has compelled PDP leaders, including ex-governor Sullivan Chime, Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, incumbent governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi and Nnaji to return to the drawing board on how to counter ‘Nnamani’s threat’ at the Court of Appeal. (The Nation)
