The troubles bedevilling former Enugu State governor, Mr Chimaroke Nnamani seem unending, as residents and traders of Coal Camp motor spare-parts and mechanics market Enugu chased his campaign train away on Saturday, 11th February.
A trending video posted online showed two sport utility vehicles driving out from the very busy community, making frantic efforts to drive away. One of the vehicles had large speakers blaring campaign jingles of the former governor, but the community people, chorused ‘onye oshi’ (thief or criminal) after every mention of the name Chimaroke in the song.
Chimaroke Nnamani is popularly called ‘Ebeano’, and the people were expected to chorus ‘Ebeano’, but they chose to sing ‘Onyeoshi’.
They also followed menacingly after the SUVs, apparently in a move to ensure that they (vehicles) left the environment.
The embattled Nnamani was until yesterday, the senatorial candidate for Enugu East senatorial zone of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
He was expelled by the PDP and automatically lost his ticket to run for election. PDP had earlier, suspended him due to anti-party activities.
