2023: Nnamani Withdraws From APC Presidential Primary Election by adenigga(m): 12:37am On Jun 07, 2022
A former Senate President, Ken Nnamani, has withdrawn from the race to emerge as the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC).

Naija News reports that Nnamani made his withdrawal from the race known while speaking with journalists in Abuja on Monday.

The former Senator said his decision to withdraw from contesting the APC presidential ticket was because he had not had the opportunity to market his profile and ideas to the delegates.

He, however, promised to continue to engage with the ruling party and its leadership to make sure that the ideas and values he cherish find a strong footing.

He said: “In the present circumstances, it does not make any sense for me to continue in the race as I have not had the opportunity to market my profile and ideas to the delegates of our party in a manner that allows for deliberation and introspection.

“Therefore, I discontinue my aspiration and wish the party a successful primary and unity of purpose so that we can win the 2023 general elections.

“I will continue to engage with the party and its leadership to make sure that the ideas and values that I cherish and propagate find a strong footing in the party administration and in public leadership after the election.”

Speaking further, the former Senate President applauded the APC Northern Governors for backing power shift to the Southern region.

Nnamani said recent events have shown that zoning the office of President to the South East has been jettisoned.

He said: “The events of recent days created the impression that zoning had been jettisoned in the APC.

“The vacillation of party leaders regarding zoning of the APC presidential ticket has not created clarity in the party and injures the confidence and faith of many in the south, particularly the south-east, in the party.

“It has the implication of suggesting to many in the party, including myself, that the party will allow conveniences of the moment to override foundational issues of justice and fairness.”
