PDP Screening Panel Told Prof. Bart Nnaji To 'Take A Bow And Go'



The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) panel screening aspirants who want to contest for the gubernatorial ticket in Enugu State this afternoon cleared former Power Minister, Prof Bart Nnaji.

The seven-member panel headed by the Honorable Eric Acho Nwakanma, a former Member of the House of Representatives from Abia State, merely asked Professor Nnaji to take a bow and “go in recognition of your immense contributions to national development over the years”.

Nwakanma said, “People like you are needed in the public to move this country forward”.

The other panel members, including James Ugwu, the panel’s secretary from Enugu State who is also the PDP South East Zonal Secretary, noted in agreement, smiling.

Nnaji, who came with a large volume of documents in expectation of a tough interview, was himself surprised at the honour.

Signs that the panel has high regard for the former minister were noticed when he was invited to meet the panel before other aspirants who came for screening.

Though the screening panel did not list specific contributions to national growth which Nnaji made, the erstwhile Minister of Power under President Goodluck Jonathan for only one year starting in 2011, is widely praised for revolutionizing the performance of the troublesome power sector.
