I Won’t Decamp To APC Because PDP Lost Presidency, Says Ekweremadu by Gr8amechi: 7:15am On Apr 08, 2015 |
By Austin Ogwuda & Francis IgataEnugu—CONTRARY to speculations, Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, yesterday, declared that he was not going to jump ship by defecting to All Progressives Congress, APC because his party, Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, lost the presidential election.Rather, he maintained that in view of the unfolding political scenario in the country, PDP leaders were bracing up to take the bull by the horn to reposition and strengthen the party for a brighter future.He made the position known while addressinga meeting of PDP stakeholders from Enugu West senatorial district in Enugu yesterday.His words: “I have read and listened to many lament what they regard as the South East misadventure in view of the emerging scenarios at the federal level.Ike Ekweremadu‘’But let me assure you that Ndigbohas done nothing to be ashamed ofand we owe no oneany apologies for casting our ballots for the PDP.“For me, therefore, our voting pattern is rather a defining moment for Ndigbo because we spoke with one voice and we are proud of our electoral decisions.‘’We voted for a party that integrated us into the mainstream of Nigerian politics, elected/appointed our people into strategic offices, and addressed some of our major infrastructural challenges.‘’You would agree with me that Enugu West in particular has never had it so good in infrastructure transformation. So, we took a principled position and accept full responsibility for our political choices.“I have also heard a lot of permutations on the possible mass defection of Ndigbo to the APC in the coming dispensation. While I will not hold brief for all the PDP stalwarts of South East origin, especially because our constitution provides for freedom of association, I can assure you that on PDP we stand. ‘’At least, count Senator Ike Ekweremadu out of any defection to the opposition. source:http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/04/i-wont-decamp-to-apc-because-pdp-lost-presidency-says-ekweremadu/ 2 Likes 1 Share |

themilanway:Thanks for that correction.. I meant the whole Nigeria and just for the records, you won't see Ike Ekweremadu in APC cos he's a politician with integrity unlike Buhari who joins from one party to another simply because he's desperate to rule... Please are you related to Oba Akiolu? |
Re: I Won’t Decamp To APC Because PDP Lost Presidency, Says Ekweremadu by Nobody: 8:17am On Apr 08, 2015 |
Equalizer:i don hear you, but they will still remain minority. The irony is that those who want him decamp will try to ridicle him if he ever gets there. It is better they remain in pdp and build strong opposition party. By the way are you from the eastern part? thought you are from SW. |

Equalizer:How or when did Buhari join one party or the other? This Igbo people sef! Let me school u a little, Buhari joined the APP which later became ANPP, he later moved to his own party which he founded, the CPC! APC is a product of CPC, ACN, ANPP and part of APGA coming together to merge. Now how does that make him a cross carperter? |

Thank you Senator Ike. PDP must be together to form real opposition in preparation for 2019. Those that want to leave should do so. A brand new reformed PDP is in the making. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

MyMouth: Point of correction, APGA was never part of the merger, Okorocha only decamped as an individual and not as a party so tell Tinubu to correct that.. why did Buhari leave ANPP to form his own party? |

This is one of the persons that wish the country well. This smack of courage, statemanship, patriotism and heroism. Unlike other greedy and self-seeking politicians who would decamp to the party at the centre for personal relevance and end up throwing the country into a one party state. Unknown to them in every democracy, a strong and vibrant opposition is sine qua non to the growth and development of the nation vis-a-vis the betterment of the people |
Re: I Won’t Decamp To APC Because PDP Lost Presidency, Says Ekweremadu by Nobody: 8:50am On Apr 08, 2015 |
themilanway:very simple, APC isn't about ideology but power grab and consolidation. APC will be more than happy to see Ike in their Party and may even give him the position of Senate President. Not because of his antecedent but because they will want to encroach into PDP's stronghold. #My Opinion though 1 Like |
