Tinubu Is Best For 2023 Presidency – Nnamani

The Senator representing Enugu East in the National Assembly, Dr. Chimaroke Nnamani has described the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Bola Tinubu as the most successful governor in the 1999-2007 set of governors.

Nnamani, who was the governor of Enugu state as at that time, said the former Lagos State governor surpassed all his peers and remains the nation’s top system builders and political reformers.

He argued that Tinubu will replicate the successes hi administration recorded in Lagos across the 36 states of Nigeria.

The Chairman, Senate Committee on Cooperation and Integration in Africa/NEPAD, expressed these views in a statement he issued in Abuja on Friday.

The former Enugu governor explained that the 1999 set of governors had a rough ride because they inherited a chaotic and dilapidated state from the military government.

Nnamani said, “All we had was pure joy in our electorates’ hearts because they had a democratically elected governor. From health to education to the economy and security, Lagos state and many other states were in turmoil as a result of years of military rule but Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu made the most progress out of all of us in reforms of various sectors, with Enugu State coming in second.
