President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has applauded former Senate President Ken Nnamani, for ensuring that former President Olusegun Obasanjo’s third term bid was not actualised.
The president said “some persons” wanted to “derail democracy” through the third term, but Senator Nnamani saved the situation, apparently referring to Obasanjo.
Tinubu spoke at an interactive session with South East leaders during his official visit to Enugu State at the weekend.
He said, “The man who saved democracy for us all to enjoy, our former Senate President, I cannot forget that memorable time. The time when the third term effort was killed. He put life into freedom, constitutional democracy.”
