She, however, lost the Peoples Democratic Party. PDP, ticket to incumbent Senator Gilbert Nnaji, whose seat she was determined to occupy.
There had been speculations that Mrs. Nwobodo had been having a running battle with the governor over her failure to clinch the senatorial ticket but this could not be confirmed b before the governor’s security aides and Government House drivers reportedly stormed her GRA residence Tuesday afternoon.
Sources at the Enugu Government House said that the governor gave a directive to his security details to recover all the official vehicles used by the former Chief of Staff.
The security details were said to have gone to her house with some drivers who were assigned to bring the vehicles back to the Government House.
