From Ndubuisi Orji, Abuja

Former Enugu State governor, Chimaroke Nnamani, has said that the All Progressives Congress ( APC) presidential candidate, Bola Tinubu, is qualified to contest for the Presidency in the 2023 general elections.

Nnamani, who currently represents Enugu East senatorial zone of Enugu State, on platform of the Peoples Democratic Party ( PDP) stated this in a statement, yesterday, in Abuja.

Nevertheless, the former governor said his vote is “covered by the umbrella per my Party (PDP) and our candidate, HE Atiku Abubakar.

Nnamani, while recalling that himself and the APC candidate were colleagues as governors, said he is opposed to campaigns targeting the latter’s health.

He said “I vigorously oppose, protest and detest the shameless campaigns and parody targeting Tinubu’s health.
