Former Senate President, Senator Ken Nnamani and All Progressives Congress, APC, presidential hopeful has inaugurated a support group known as Senator Ken Nnamani (SKN), Grassroots presidential Campaign Movement.
Nnamani inaugurated the group ahead of the All Presidential primary election.
The Enugu State Coordinator of the political group, Hon. Joseph Ugwuoke, while speaking at the event, said the aim of setting up the body was to help sensitize the electorate, especially at the grassroot level on the need to support the ex-Senate boss.
He described Senator Nnamani as a ‘true democrat and statesman’.
According to him, the nation needs a core progressive and detribalized Nigerian to succeed president Muhammadu Buhari, adding that Senator Nnamani possessed all the qualities of a true leader as demonstrated when he piloted the affairs of the upper Chamber of the National Assembly.
The coordinator hinted that some members of the group were delegates in the forthcoming primary election of the APC.
He said, “the inauguration of SKN Grassroots Presidential Campaign Movement was held today in Enugu with Hon Joseph Ugwuoke as the State coordinator, while Hon. Henry Ikenna emerged the State secretary.”
Ugwuoke gave names of other officials to include: Hon. Smart Onwe, State Treasurer, Ofondu Uchenna, State youth coordinator, while Hon. Ezenwa Okechukwu, Paul Aniagboso, and Hon. Ngene F. C. Obama are to serve as media coordinators.
The post of State women coordinator went to Hon. Angela Nwamma.
Ugwuoke appealed to the electorate in the State, South-East and the country at large to throw their full weight behind Nnamani’s presidential ambition.
He posited that the group had no doubt in its mind that the former Senate president had the capacity to take Nigeria to her expected destination.
