The Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, has advised the
governing All Progressives Congress, APC, to build on the successes recorded by the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, while it held power for 16 years or risk being pushed
aside
in 2019.

Mr. Ekweremadu gave the advise
on Thursday at the 67th meeting
of he National Executive Committee meeting of the PDP, which held at the party’s national headquarters in Abuja.

He stated that the PDP, in its 16
years of being in power, “changed
the face of telecommunication in
Nigeria”, making it the best in
Africa.

The senator also said it was the
PDP that laid the foundation for
genuine anti corruption fight in
the country by setting up relevant
agencies and pushing for
deliberate policies and legislation
to achieve the goals.

He added that a PDP government
relentlessly pursued and got debt
forgiveness for Nigeria and that
the party actually “changed the
face of democracy in the
country”.

The lawmaker also said the PDP
greatly enhanced the fortune of
the nation’s democracy when the
immediate past president
Goodluck Jonathan “ willingly
accepted defeat after a
controversial election”.

“APC should learn on our success
or we would be back in power by
2019,” he said.

Ekweremmadu, remember you belong to pdp.

theV0ice:
Its interesting that Ekweremmadu could only remember the successes recorded under OBJ when enumerating PDP successes.

Indeed its curious but should i counter him?? Of course I can't. Maybe he needs a refresher course from the 'youths' of the party...maybe he's losing touch like E.K Clark

omenka:
PDP's in for a VERY LONG thing!! Any politically savvy observer would understand PDP's already lost Ekweremadu from this.

omenka:
Trust me, with these utterances, dude is already poking his head out the window, surveying the outside terrain and looking for the best landing spot when he jumps ship.

Dude, can we place a bet, in a year tops Ekweremadu will be out..... His reason.......

His people mandated him to work wirh the government in order for them to be in the scheme of things...

Beremx:

chukwudi44:
BTW i did not read where he praised Obasanjo!! He was praising the PDP and not Obasanjo!!

chukwudi44:


Shameless man!! I have been looking for you on all the bomb blast threads!! You seem to have come of short of words to defend Buhari's obvious failures.

blazetitov:
Retain power by conducting fraudulent elections like the ones in 2003 nd 2007 abi?

omenka:
Errrm, I think this thread isn't meant for you. There are threads about bomb blasts and Audu Abubakar's 1.5billion mansion- your comrades are there clinking glasses and making toasts- you should join them.

maupe:
I don't understand Nigerians. You say the PDP is corrupt, and is filled with thieves, and yet you are hoping to fill the APC, with the very thieves that you hate. Please if you believe in the Change mantra of your party, then stick with its members or do you want the white T-shirt of APC to become stained with the supposed dirt of the PDP. You are already complaining about Saraki, but you now want his deputy, Ekweremadu. APC, Grow up.
