2007Although much is not known about his religious beliefs, Ken is a man who believes that irrespective of our religious background, we are children of God.
Speaking in August 2006, Nnamani said "In a multicultural and multi-religious country like Nigeria credible elections provide platforms for different constituents of the republic to continue to collaborate to promote the good of all. The 2007 election is arguably the most important election in Nigeria ... The 2007 elections in Nigeria hold the key to entrenching democracy in Nigeria."
In a June 2009 interview, Ken Nnamani expressed concerns about progress towards full democracy in Nigeria. He said "History tells us that there has never been a consolidated democracy without a robust and large middle class. Nigeria does not have a middle class and it is therefore no surprise that our democracy is weak and reversible."
Quotations:
"the region is supporting the president because they do not want the Second Niger Bridge abandoned. The region wants the president to continue in office because the region's busiest highway, the Enugu Onitsha highway, is in terrible condition and that only a Jonathan led government beyond 2015 can fix it. We do not want trial and error. The region's only international airport in Enugu need to be completed.
