The Governors are our leaders and their humiliation rubs off on all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">Senator Nnamani recalled that state governors were not treated with ignominy during his days.He cautioned against erecting parallel structures in the five Governors\u2019 states stressing that \u201cpolitics is local and the folks from these affected states parading with the PDP leadership will not deliver their polling booths without the Governors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWithout the involvement of the Governors that are our leaders, these mere cheer leaders and feel good political operatives cannot deliver.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey can drag themselves from their home states to Abuja. Some are Abuja permanent residents. They dress the meetings and Colour the rallies, but that is what it is , political colour dressing.\u201c<\/p>\n<div class=\"yj6qo\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"adL\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senator Chimaroke Nnamani (Enugu East) has cautioned the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) leadership that it is discouraging to ignore five of its governors as it commenced presidential campaigns for the&hellip;<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on wp_trim_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":100229,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-100228","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exclusive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
