What Festus Keyamo Said After PDP Senator Expressed His Loyalty To Tinubu During Senate Plenary

Since the emergence of former governor of Enugu state, Chimaroke Nnamani as a member of Tinubu Campaign Council, more attentions have been on the senator than ever before.

On Tuesday Nnamani took a bold step on the floor of the Senate to eulogize the virtues of the candidate of the All Progressive Congress, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu during the Plenary.

According to the senator, Tinubu is his friend, brother and colleague. He said he has great respect for him, his political antecedents and strides in governance. And he is very proud and well pleased with him.

The statement was made amidst the controversies that greeted his inclusion in the Tinubu, Shettima’s Campaign Council list.

He is expected by his party members and many Nigerians to throw his weight behind the candidate of the People’s Democratic Party, Atiku Abubakar who will also be squaring up against Asiwaju Bola Tinubu in the 2023 general election.

Reacting to the statement he made on the floor of the Senate on Tuesday, Festus Keyamo described Nnamani as bold, courageous and principled person.

The spokesperson of Tinubu Campaign Council made this known on his verified twitter handle in response to what Nnamani said.

Keyamo wrote:

“Bold. Courageous. Principled. A handshake across regional divides.

Stand up, @ChimarokeNamani and take a bow. Way to go. Your kind of politics will inspire millions out there. Party loyalty cannot be a cage for your conscience and beliefs. History has recorded you loud and clear!”

On Sunday, Keyamo while reacting to the controversies that greeted Nnamani’s name inclusion in the APC campaign council list on Channels TV Politics Today, said there is no any law that stops the Senator from supporting the candidate of his choice from any political party.
