Dr. Ben Nwoye has dismissed claims by former minister Uche Nnaji that he stepped down from his senatorial seat for veteran politician Jim Nwobodo, insisting the narrative is false.
Speaking on Signature TV, Dr. Nwoye challenged the account that Nnaji had been circulating about his controversial 1999 resignation from the Enugu East Senatorial seat.
“Few moments ago before his resignation, he was going about telling people he stepped down for distinguished Senator Jim Nwobodo, it’s not true. You don’t step down after winning, he resigned,” Nwoye stated emphatically.

Dr. Nwoye’s clarification highlights an important distinction: stepping down typically occurs before an election to allow another candidate to contest, while Nnaji’s action came after he had already won the seat. This timing, according to Nwoye, makes the “stepping down” narrative misleading.
The political commentator suggested that Nnaji’s attempt to frame his resignation as a noble gesture for the distinguished Senator Jim Nwobodo was merely a face-saving explanation for an otherwise inexplicable decision. By characterizing it as “stepping down,” Nnaji allegedly sought to present his abandonment of the seat in a more favorable light.
Dr. Nwoye’s insistence that “you don’t step down after winning” underscores the unusual nature of Nnaji’s action. In Nigerian politics, candidates typically step down during primaries or before elections to support stronger candidates, not after securing victory at the polls.
