Former Minister Nnaji has secured the governorship ticket for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Enugu State, marking a significant development in the region's political landscape. Nnaji emerged victorious in the party's primaries, positioning himself as the PDP's flagbearer for the upcoming gubernatorial elections.

Following his win, Nnaji addressed his supporters and the people of Enugu, dedicating his victory to divine providence and the populace. He articulated a strong message of change, stating that the people of Enugu have endured significant hardship over the past three years. His remarks highlighted a sense of oppression and a heavy burden placed upon citizens.

A key point of contention in Nnaji's address was the imposition of what he described as "excessive and obnoxious taxes." He directly linked the suffering of the people to these financial impositions, suggesting they have been a major source of distress during the current administration's tenure. His campaign appears set to center on addressing these grievances and offering relief to the electorate.

I give this victory to the glory of God and to the people of Enugu, who have been oppressed in the last three years and overburdened with excessive and obnoxious taxes.
