Nnamani: Whoever Ugwuanyi chooses will be next Enugu governor… that’s our tradition
Nnamani: Whoever Ugwuanyi chooses will be next Enugu governor… that’s our tradition.

Ken Nnamani, former senate president, says it is up to Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi, governor of Enugu, to choose his successor.

In a statement issued on Wednesday, Nnamani, who is a former governor of the state, said it has been the norm in Enugu since 1999 for the incumbent governor of the state to determine his successor.

The senator added that the state has enjoyed political harmony on account of adherence to zoning or rotation of key political offices between the three senatorial districts since 1999.

Nnamani, who is from Enugu east, was governor from 1999 to 2007; Sullivan Chime from Enugu west took over from 2007 to 2015, while Ugwuanyi from Enugu north will complete his second term by 202
It is expected that the governorship slot will return to Enugu east in 2023.

“We have a tradition in Enugu State politics. The governor is the leader who directs affairs. He will determine who succeeds him without compromising the electoral processes and whoever he chooses will be our next governor,” Nnamani said.

“I have absolute loyalty and respect for my governor who is also the leader of Ebeano political family. He has demonstrated capacity and leadership. We are waiting for him to lead the way to go in 2023 and we shall follow.

“All the aspirants belong to the Ebeano political family. One hundred percent of them are my primary, secondary and by-products. Some may have close affinity with me which explains the understandable speculations on whom I may be supporting. But it is the governor that will choose his successor. The political machinery in the state, including the Ebeano family, will be rolled out to support whomever he chooses.”

He advised those promoting division to desist, “because there is no war to be fought”.

“We are one family. Whoever emerges will be governor for all,” he said.

“No matter the machinations, conspiracies and subterfuges over the governorship primary of our party, we will have a successful transition under the leadership and guidance of our governor.


“It is understandable that some of those who are posturing are seeking for relevance or seeking for political appointments in other parties. That is the beauty of democracy.”

oBatedi:
Tinubu may not allow him if he didn't remit LASG money to his account

You saw him remitting it. Some of you just open mouth gaaaaaa like basket.

tiswell:
Only one man decides the fate of lagosians, and that's BAT!

GAC is not one man, it is the structure of a political party. If you think things work otherwise then you know nothing of politics.

DMerciful:
Tinubu is the last governor of Lagos. Others are just his boys running errands for him while pretending to be governors.

Lagosians are blind to this because they're focus of Yoruba-Igbo supremacy contest.

Keep shouting Tinubu up and down. He's greater than all SE politicians put together.

Sanwo one more term. You deserve it.

Lagos moving forward

VaselineCrew:
Lol, typical black matter
How did you get water to bathe today?
How much electricity did you get yesterday?
Is the road in front of your house paved?
Suffering and Smiling Nigggars

Tinubu is my choice, who is your choice, promote your candidate and leave me with mine.

I'm not living in a village like you.

Tinubu all the way.

He's Nigeria's best choice.

So FG will leave all the problems in Nigeria and be making this kind of laws so you can have an opportunity to bash them again.


Carry your influencer wahala go front.

Hahahah you are asking for the best among failures.



Since 1999, none of them have been able to fix the major market in the state, Ariaria international market.

The market's flood and dirt is really of international standard

That Abai state where no development has been recorded. Faulks road leading to Ariaria is still in a terrible condition. What are these guys going to do differently from all past governors.

Useless state

Even though the woman ia you, I'll advice you do not create more problems than there is already.

She should just find a way to talk to him and help him change than going to steal his money.

He needs that moment of self-reflection before h can make meaningful progress.

Just set apart 1 to 3 days for a personal retreat.

if you can add prayer and meditation ot it, better.

Keep him in jail until he lays the eggs

Calm down, stop the rat race, take time off and plan your life.

NaijirianKing:
Whether you like it or not, power is coming to the NE. Cry me a river once INEC announces the results. The SS and SE have all but agreed to support the North in return for one of those zones getting the VP.
Simple math, we have the numbers, and the south is divided and leaning heavily in favor of the North. Name a SW candidate who can defeat a Northerner, in the North. And don't pretend like the SS and SE are with you, because they are with us.
North 2023.

NaijirianKing:
Analyze this...

2000-08 was ruled by the SW
2008-10* the NW
2010-2015 the SS
2015-Present the NW

As anyone can see, the North only has had 8 years thus far, while the south has been in power for 15 years and still wants more. This is the definition of greed. The North is not deceived.

Anyone in favor of justice, equity and zoning should solidly be behind the NC as the NC has had neither the President nor the VP. We will accept a NE candidate as it seems the PDP will zone the ticket to the NE, but APC should also zone the ticket to the NC and allow these zones to taste power. Instead, the south wants to greedily take every position even though they have been in power the most leaving the North to rot...

Enough is enough. We will meet them at the polls...

All your rant is just about nothing. Is rotational presidency in the constitution?

My main point of even bothering to answer you was when you said SW is going to political oblivion. Do you know what that statement means at all?

CSTRR:
Who is this people?

'Are these people'

People is plural,

NaijirianKing:
2023 is for the North. Simple.

We dey here na, let's wait and see.

NaijirianKing:
The SW has led themselves into political isolation.

The SS President was ousted in part due to the SW, the SE theoretically should have the greatest claim to the southern presidency, but the SW has made two enemies of the two southern regions. The North sees this. We know the south is too politically fragmented to pose any resistance to a united Northern front.

The SW will have to do some serious bridge re-building after 2023 clears the fog from their eyes. The Presidency will go to the NE, no Northerner will vote Jagaban over a Northerner, and no Northerner will vote a southern Pastor in the form of Osibanjo over a Northern Muslim.

The North is quietly waiting. 2023 is not far.

Nairaland political analyst

What did you smoke? SW in political oblivion, so what would you say of the SE. SW ha always been and would remain relevant in the scheme of things in Nigeria. After election now, you guys will resume wailing marginalization.

Dreamer. We'll rather have Ibori than vote for you.

It's the bad English for me. Yet these people will laugh when Ab0kis make such blunder.

I didn't use to like this girl, but her silence and that of Funke on their fallout of Jenifer's diary is something I respect. Both of them maintained dignified silence about the whole issue. I really wish she will spill more.

rattlesnake:
hes not as good as he thinks just like AY

So says a man who knows next to nothing in movie making

PrinceOfLagos:
They built for you what your money can carry


Unfortunately, the money your government signed for building that trash you called "bridge" in Nigeria will equal the same amount used in building that beautiful bridge in china but corruption

Do you have proof to back up this obnoxious claim?

Verdict, 2 different societies, What and where do we need that kind of bridge in Nigeria?

Do you know the budget to complete such a bridge? Una fit pay am?

You just like to compare Apples with Oranges.

Se won fi se omo ibo ni?

Agbegbaorogboye:
Like super eagles succeeded abi

This is Paralympics, and only fools would conclude that a phone call to encourage players is the reason for their failure. The joke already expired

And they shall succeed.

Brendaniel:
I believe him more than NDLEA, there is difference between a drug taker and a drug trafficker, if the amount NDLEA showed us there is for drug trafficking then Nigeria might have the highest number of drug traffickers which includes Police...

But you don't believe the court. Some of you are mad and you have no one to tell you

This unknown feather weight, seeking relevance
