I'm still in PDP, Ekweremadu Says


Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu’s political future is in the hands of God and so far, he is happy with how far he has gone.

So, for the rumours that he had suddenly become unhappy in the PDP, the Enugu politician has assured his supporters and constituents that he is still a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

In fairness to Ekweremadu’s supporters, the story of his supposed defection seemed quite believable as it was connected to the preference of Peter Obi over him as PDP’s presidential running mate.

They said that former Anambra Governor being named by PDP presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar as his running mate for the 2019 elections left Ekweremadu feeling unappreciated.

But the Deputy Senate President has quickly quashed the idea on his Facebook page

He wrote: “I am presently out of the country on a pre-scheduled engagement.

“In the past 24 hours, I have been inundated with calls from friends and political associates seeking clarification on the rumours of my departure from the PDP, which has dominated the media.

“Let it be known that my path in politics is in the hands of the Almighty God, who has indeed been very faithful and gracious to me. I’m very grateful to God for this.”

On leaving PDP, he stated, “My vision in politics is a system that works for everybody, a social and political environment where everybody, every section, and every tribe not only counts, but is also seen to count.

“As leaders, we must be mindful of this, for any system built on anything less will not endure.

“I am grateful to you - members of my family, my friends, political associates, and admirers across Nigeria and beyond - for your uncommon concern. I am indeed humbled by your kind words of solidarity and support.

“Please, rest assured that I am still in the PDP.”

Please share the story.

SUPPORT ARUA GOODLUCK

We have allowed ourselves to be used and dumped by selfish prehistoric politicians who always neglect them in leadership positions. “It is painful to see that the Ohafia youth of today are the ones been used by politicians during elections to perpetrate different negative vices, after the politicians win their elections, they will abandon the same youth that gave them victory during the election. This has increased all sorts of injustice among youths and That is wrong and it has to stop now. Dear Ohafia youths our destiny is in our hands and not designed by old politicians who do not have the interest of the youths at heart. If everyone will sit back and complain, I refuse to be everyone. Ohafia is above individual projects as a Constituency Project. No man do anything same way and get a different result. Together we can.  I have humbly Declared my interest. !

The others shouldn’t. Even if people call me a legend, I don’t like to be seen like that.” The dancehall star maintained that he is still the king of commercial music, saying, “the crown never leaves.
