2019: Ekweremadu Set To Dump PDP For APC by kahal29: 5:40am On Oct 23, 2018 |
Barring any last minute change, Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu will dump Nigeria’s major opposition party, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC). Daily Sun gathered that Ekweremadu has been involved in high-level negotiations with the top echelon of the APC, “because he was aggrieved about the way he has been treated since Senate President Dr Bukola Saraki defected to the PDP. “What is, however, unclear is the position the APC will give him upon defection. A source said Ekweremadu’s defection “is just in a matter of days.” This will be another major defection after Saraki and former minority leader, Godswill Akpabio, defected from the APC and PDP, respectively. It was also gathered that “Ekweremadu was not happy with the way he was used and dumped by the PDP.” A chieftain of the APC from the South East had earlier said: “Look at the way they treated Ekweremadu. When all of them left, Ekweremadu remained to fight for the survival of this party. How many of them would have resisted the temptation not to defect in the face of the intimidation, harassment, prosecution, and persecution meted out on him. “As a person, he had nothing to lose if he had defected then. In fact, he had everything to gain. He probably would have been the Senate president because he was offered the slot. Then, when you people now return, you feel that people who had helped this party to survive did not matter, again, simply because you got a presidential ticket. Also, even Saraki knows that if the DSP had not been loyal, they would have gotten at him (Saraki) long ago. “All the trials Ekweremadu was put through were all because of Saraki. But, when it was the turn of Saraki to be there for him, he failed him and as we speak, how many days is this after the primary. Atiku is yet to call DSP. You don’t treat a man who has been taking bullets on you people’s behalf like that. Well, I wish them and PDP well, but, they should know that action begets reaction and they will pay the price for this mistreatment of people, who labored for the party during the toughest time. And, if Ekweremadu leaves, we will hold these people responsible,” he stated. http://sunnewsonline.com/2019-ekweremadu-to-dump-pdp-for-apc/ 9 Likes 3 Shares |

Am beginning to believe this Ekweremadu's defection rumor. At first i thought it was just a ruse but this news has been going on for some time now since last week yet no denial or strong refutal by Ekweremadu's camp or media aides rather they just allowed it to be trending. This, therefore, suggests that there is some element of truth in it cos this was how Akpabio's own also started till it materialized. 101 Likes 8 Shares

At this point in time, we don't care who defects to APC or not. We are more focused on the project ahead. #Backtodaura# 149 Likes 6 Shares |

Ekweremmadu is a sore looser. He is worthless in SE. His anger is because a more qualified Peter Obi was chosen as VP ahead of him. 122 Likes 5 Shares

Just when you think you have seen a principled politician, your hope gets dashed. So it's all about their selfish interest actually. Because I don't know how Ekweremadu will now market APC and Buhari to Ndigbo. We he now tell us that Buhari is the saviour while Mbaka is already thinking otherwise? Will he now try to sell the 2023 Igbo presidency which he knows Tinubu has perfected for southwest in case Buhari is reelected. Will be now try to justify and rationalize our neglect since Buhari came to power? The truth is that if Ekweremadu defects, that will be the end of his political career because he'd be defecting with only his wife and children. Good riddance to bad rubbish. But PDP should still try to appease him anyway. 74 Likes 2 Shares |

Mynd44: Na so Akpobio defection rumour start o. Nothing is impossible in Nigeria politics. Beside, Ekweremadu may be aiming to become the next Senate president since he was overlooked for the VP ticket. With Saraki back in the Senate race, he stands absolutely no chance in a PDP led government. APC will be his best bet and I think his defection is just a matter of days if he can reach a solid agreement with APC leadership. 28 Likes 4 Shares |

Mynd44: My able Mod, if this is a lie why has Ekweremadu and his media aides not come out openly to deny or refute the defection news? Mind you this started since last week and small small is gaining ground..... Yet no word from his camp? Is he using the defection as a negotiation tool? Just wondering my able Mod.... What do you think? 9 Likes 3 Shares |

PDP needs to give respect to those it is due! Carry these people along! If at all any changes would be made as regards to federal character, PDP cannot afford not to carry the key members along! [img]https://i./7hO6.gif[/img] 10 Likes |

He should defect and be declared enemy Ndi Igbo. He has grievances, but you don't expect us to hand VP ticket to a man Buhari is battling to nail. Peter Obi is being too lazy to liking. He visited Okezia and Ugwuanyi without visitning Umehia and Ekweremmadu. He should know every single votes matter. He doesn't expect Atiku to be doing the run around for him 6 Likes 3 Shares |
