Chimaroke Nnamani, a former senator for the Enugu East Senatorial District and former governor of Enugu State, has filed a lawsuit against the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) over the disciplinary measures that were taken against him for alleged anti-party activities.
A few days before being kicked out of the party, on February 7, 2023, he filed the lawsuit with the Federal High Court in Abuja.
Nnamani was first suspended from the PDP when he announced his support for Bola Tinubu, the APC’s presidential candidate.
The former governor of Enugu State claimed that he backed the APC candidate because he could not back a northerner for president following President Muhammadu Buhari’s eight-year administration.
Nnamani and a few other important party figures were expelled by the PDP for anti-party conduct on February 10, 2023
