A former governor of Enugu state, Dr Chimaroke Nnamani, has described reports of a $41.8 million judgement against him in the United States as cheap blackmail and a way of silencing his political views. The former governor described the story as fake, adding that it came about because of his opposing opinions on political issues in the country. Nnamani, in a statement, said rather than be silent, his voice will grow stronger and more persistent.
