Former Enugu Governor, Chimaroke Nnamani Calls For Election Postponement After LP Senatorial Candidate’s Assassination
The suspended Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) Senatorial candidate for Enugu East Senatorial District, Chimaroke Nnamani, has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to postpone the Saturday national assembly election for the Senatorial District.
The former governor of Enugu State said the postponement of the election will allow the people of the Senatorial zone, the state and the world to see how the opposition Labour Party had been a scam.
On the Labour Party Enugu East Senatorial candidate who was killed by gunmen, Nnamani said it was ridiculous to say that the deceased was favoured to win the election, saying that the Labour Party thrived on deception and social media stunts.
He said, “We welcome any opportunity for INEC to postpone the senatorial election in Enugu East Senatorial District.
“While we strongly condemn the senseless killing of the LP senatorial candidate for the election by yet-to-be-identified gunmen, deeply sympathize with all the bereaved, and urge the investigative agencies to fish out the perpetrators, any suggestion that the deceased was favoured to win the election is ridiculous to say the least.
“It is only a party that thrives on deception and social media stunts that would claim it was about defeating a sitting senator and past two-term governor of the state with a candidate that was largely unknown (may his soul rest in peace).
“Indeed, the postponement will allow the world to see how it has been scammed by the Labour Party.”
