The development followed the commencement of the party’s re-registration exercise in Enugu State and other parts of the South-East.
Nnamani’s registration was witnessed by some leaders of the party in the zone, including the Vice Chairman, APC South-East, Chief Emma Eneukwu; Director-General, Voice of Nigeria, Mr. Osita Okechukwu; Chairman, Enugu State chapter of the party, Dr. Ben Nwoye; and the chairman of the registration committee, Rev. Tony Ibeabuchi.
A bunch of brooms was presented to Nnamani after he registered as a member of the APC.
Addressing the gathering of APC members who witnessed the event, Nnamani said he was joining the ‘winners’, adding that he would not mind if his action was interpreted as ‘opportunism’.

“I like to identify with potential winners, if that makes me an opportunist, so be it,” Nnamani said.
The former Senate President said it was a thing of joy for him to join “those who have kept the flag of the APC flying.”
Although he added that he would make his reasons for joining the APC known during a public declaration, which is planned for a later date, Nnamani explained that he had left the PDP since February 6, 2016.
He said he had been on a ‘political sabbatical’ since then.
Stressing that ‘one cannot remain without a political party,” Nnamani said he had to join the APC, which he said had more chances of delivering the dividends of democracy to Nigerians than his former party, the PDP.
He declared that the PDP was dead.
But he also observed that the APC was not perfect.
