Ray Nnaji, national vice chairman (South-East) of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), has alleged that his life was under threat from the party’s governorship candidate in Enugu State, Samson Chukwu Nnamani, following Samson’s suspension from the party.
Addressing journalists in Enugu on Wednesday, Nnaji claimed that Nnamani threatened him during a telephone conversation on May 23 after the PDP suspended him over alleged anti-party activities.
According to Nnaji, “On the 23rd of this month, he called me after 11 a.m. to tell me that I am a liar and that he is going to deal with me. He also said that whatever sickness happening to him should visit me.”
Nnaji said he initially dismissed the remarks as a joke but later became alarmed by subsequent developments.
He explained that the suspension was decided on May 22 after the party accused Nnamani of engaging in activities capable of undermining the PDP.
