Nnamani Critiques APC Forum, Backs Wike's Coalition
Chief Samson Chukwu Nnamani, a prominent member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Enugu State, criticized the Progressives Governor’s Forum, led by Governor Hope Uzodinma, for suggesting that support for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu should be restricted to members of the All Progressives Congress (APC). Nnamani expressed his support for the Rainbow Coalition initiated by Chief Nyesom Wike, the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
He argued that limiting support to APC members infringes on the constitutional rights of freedom of association as outlined in Sections 39 and 40 of the Nigerian Constitution. Nnamani clarified that the Rainbow Coalition should be viewed as a platform for presidential mobilization rather than a merger or defection.
He referenced the previous support for Tinubu from members of the G5 governors’ group, led by Wike, during the 2023 presidential elections, highlighting that political affiliations should not hinder cross-party support for presidential candidates.
