Senator Chimaroke Nnamani representing Enugu East on the platform of the People Democratic Party (PDP) has reacted to his suspension by the party’s
National Working Committee (NWC).
The Federal lawmaker said the suspension came as a rude shock and a huge surprise.
PDP announced the suspension of the former governor of Enugu State on Friday night over allegations of anti-party activities.
Nnamani, in his defense of the suspension, said he was never notified or invited by the party.
The former governor said: “I have since been inundated with telephone calls and messages from various persons, seeking my clarification on the matter.
“Just like every other person, the decision and announcement of my purported suspension from the PDP came to me as a rude shock and huge surprise.
“I was never at any time notified of any petition or complaint against me or informed of the grounds that formed the decision of the NWC of the PDP to suspend me from the party.
“I was not also invited to any meeting, proceeding, or hearing of the NWC of the party where my supposed offense (s) was/were discussed. I was, therefore, not afforded the opportunity to make representations on my behalf at any meeting where the proposal and decision to suspend me from the party was made. My right to a fair hearing was consequently violated against the clear provisions of the Constitution of the party, especially in disciplinary proceedings. More importantly the Superior Constitution of the FRN.”
