Some Takeaways And Contradictions In APC’s Full List of Presidential Campaign Council
According to multiple unconfirmed media reports, Nigeria’s Vice President Osinbajo reportedly rejected his being included in Tinubu’s APC Presidential campaign team, stating that he could not support a Muslim-Muslim ticket in all good conscience.
But what is drawing flak from watchers of the APC’s strategic moves in drawing up this broad campaign team list for the 2023 elections is the inclusion of Senator Chimaroke Nnamani of Enugu state as a member.

Some people suggested it was a mix-up with the brother’s name. However, both names are included in the list.
For proper context, Senator Chimaroke Nnamani is a former governor of Enugu State and a serving senator of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP who also doubles as the 2023 senatorial candidate under the platform of the Official Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
Not only will Chimaroke be contesting for senate come 2023, but the senatorial election will also be on the same day as the APC presidential poll.
