Former governor of Enugu State and senator representing Enugu East Senatorial District, Chimaroke Nnamani, has sued the Peoples Democratic Party after being expelled for anti-party activities.
Nnamani filed the suit before the Federal High Court in Abuja on February 7, 2023, few days before his expulsion from the party.
The former Governor who had openly declared support for the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, which led to his initial suspension from the PDP, had argued that his support for the APC candidate was because he could not support a northerner to become President after the eight-year tenure of Muhammadu Buhari.
