2023 Election: APC Picks Ken Nnamani As Presidential Candidate

The All Progressives Congress Party (APC), South-East has announced Senator Ken Nnamani as its 2023 presidential candidate.

The announcement was stated in a press statement made available to AllNews Nigeria and signed by Dr Chinedu Jideofo-Ogbuagu, National Coordinator, South-East APC Presidency Project 2023 (A project of South-East APC Integrity Group)

Senator Ken Nnamani, GCON is the former President of the Nigerian Senate and former Chairman of Nigeria’s National Assembly.

Chinedu said, "South-East APC Presidency Project 2023 is a collective Project which supersedes any personal ambition. From 2015 to January 2020 to now, we have made that point very clear.

"A special appeal is here reserved for South-Southerners who are Muslims or who pride themselves as having special relationships with Muslims and non-South-Easterners. Yes, personal relationships are important, but they must not be used personally, selfishly, or maliciously against anyone else. And it should not be a sole advantageous basis for anyone to want to become President of Nigeria.

"We know we have many real and presumed Alhajis who are from the South-East and who are of APC, but the choice of who represents South-East in what will be a hard-fought presidential contest on the APC platform must not be because of anyone’s personal religious preference or personal relationships.

"And no South-Easterner must be seen or heard anywhere using religious affiliation or personal relationships against our preferred presidential aspirant.

"Instead of personal ambition or divisiveness of any kind, all South-East APC members are urged to rally round Senator Ken Nnamani and South-East APC Presidency Project 2023".

Chinedu further called on members across all 36 states of Nigeria and speed up action on voters sensitization and mobilization as they have lost some time in running campaigns.

"We must be seen across Nigeria canvassing for support for the South-East and our preferred presidential aspirant. Really, we have lost some time and must not waste more time on frivolities. Support the Project and our preferred presidential aspirant".

On campaign goals, Chinedu Jideofo stated that it is ultimately to usher in a glorious era of security, peace, unity and prosperity in Nigeria and for all Nigerians.
