Former governor of Enugu State and senator representing Enugu East Senatorial District, Chimaroke Nnamani, has sued the Peoples Democratic Party over the disciplinary actions taken against him for alleged 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.
Nnamani’s support for the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu, led to his initial suspension from the PDP.
Giving reasons for supporting Tinubu, Nnamani said his support for the APC candidate was because he could not support a northerner to become President after the eight-year tenure of the current President, Muhammadu Buhari.
On February 10, 2023 the PDP expelled Nnamani alongside some other key party members for anti-party activities.
In the front page of the court document, those listed as defendants in Nnamani’s suit are the Independent National Electoral Commission, the National Chairman of the PDP, Iyorchia Ayu, Samuel Anyanwu on behalf of the National Working Committee members of the PDP.
In the suit, Nnamani asked the court to determine whether it was proper for the party to take disciplinary actions against him without giving him fair hearing.
