During an interactive session with South East leaders on his official visit to Enugu State over the weekend, Tinubu highlighted Nnamani’s critical intervention in preserving Nigeria’s democratic framework.

“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,” Tinubu said.

The president’s remarks referred to the controversial third-term bid under Obasanjo’s administration, which was widely viewed as an attempt to amend the constitution for personal political gain. Nnamani, as Senate President at the time, played a key role in ensuring the proposal did not succeed.

During the visit, Tinubu also commended Governor Peter Mbah for his developmental strides and innovative governance philosophy. He inaugurated several state government projects and pledged continued federal support for Enugu and other states in their efforts to drive economic growth and infrastructure development.
