Former Enugu State Governor Chimaroke Nnamani has maintained that the National Working Committee (NWCsuspension )’s of him from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was ill-conceived and unwarranted.
Nnamani claimed that the party violated his right to a fair hearing by not informing him of any complaints against him or inviting him to any proceedings.
According to him, the NWC’s suspension of him lacks moral and constitutional support.
The lawmaker tweeted:
The PDP ‘Penkelemesi’ suspension without hearing is incurably messy and will collapse.
My decision to pitch tent with Asawaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu was necessitated by the PDP’s refusal to comply with its own constitution to wit; that key political office should at all times be rotated between the South and North to guarantee harmony, peace, fairness, equity and justice.
As it is now, there is no fairness, justice and equity in the PDP because both the presidential candidate and the National Chairman are from the same region.

He also advised the PDP leadership to address internal party issues in the future.
In defending his decision to back All Progressives Congress (APC) presidential candidate Bola Tinubu, Nnamani stated that he was exercising his right to free choice and association.
WITHIN NIGERIA reported on 20 January that the PDP suspended Nnamani.
According to reports, Debo Ologunagba, the PDP’s publicity spokesperson, announced the development in a statement.
Nnamani and seven others from Ekiti, Enugu, and Imo states, he said, were suspended for “anti-party activities.”
