Ex-Governor Sullivan Chime has endorsed Peter Mbah, the PDP candidate, in the March 11 governorship election.
Electoral chief Mahmood Yakubu said during a press briefing in Abuja on Friday afternoon that the election in Enugu East will now hold on March 11.
The decision of the NWC is sequel to the recommendation of the National Disciplinary Committee and pursuant to Sections 58 and 59 (1)(g) of the PDP Constitution (as amended in 2017).
Mr Nnamani said the action of the PDP amounted to injustice and lack of equity, saying that it was morally wrong to leave power in the North.
The suspension by the National Working Committee of the party is with effect from Friday, January 20, 2023.
Judge William Acker issued a consolidated ruling ordering the seizure of the illicit funds as well as forfeitures of Mr Nnamani’s assets to the U.S. government on May 13, 2009.
“Our party and platform is PDP. We must stand firm. We must not be swayed by the Obidient sentiments and vote Labour Party,” Mr Nnamani said.
