Awol1:good write up; and that is my problem with Nigerian politics; no standard, no principles, they can change over night.where there are rules and standards you don't wake up and say you now like gay marriage. you did not fancy before sleeping. if Nigerians 50 and below wanted a good cause for the nation after all this our so called educated educated youth , we can't collectively vote in a simple man with vision to take the lead; because they are not money bags.shior 1 Like 1 Share |

SpaceTour:The whole Apc bigwigs are from his senatorial zone in Enugu west.. People like the minister of foreign affairs,director of VON,Sullivan Chime and a whole lot more. He is fighting a battle of a lifetime in Enugu.. No be small thing. He thought that he would be picked by Atiku but he was working for Saraki and Tambuwal and Atiku picked his boss Saraki. Don’t equate your self with your boss. Continue your loyalty,cuz even if you lose your senatorial ambition,you will be compensated as a faithful party comrade.. He failed to win local elections and Chimaroke picked him up. His boy senator Gil Nnaji has already lost in the primaries to Senator Nnamani Chimaroke.. He is next.. Just like Nebuchadnezzar,these men are turning into a God in Enugu state...... 2 Likes 1 Share |

If this news is true...it shows PDP has not learned one of the lessons of 2015....sort out issues on time. PDP lost the middle belt in 2015....largely because of too many aggrieved members who were not sorted out on time. I doubt SE would vote APC in 2019....even if Ekweremadu defects....BUT....since 2019 is going to be a narrow election....a few thousand votes here and there could be very important. 1 Like |

[quote author=kahal29 post=72332029]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. |

Outside sentiments, Ekweremadu has been a piller but that shouldn't make him to leave. There are certain things you kept silent and with time people will know that you are not treated fine and a considerations will made. Leaving the party can never help deputy senate rather it will dent and kills his political carrier. Stay on this PDP now because is a moving train and don't go and follow APC that is dead because the host of heaven is singing Alleluya Alleluya because of the stick train. Atikulate with us and we will resolve to do everything well. Vote PDP, Vote Atikulate Atiku and vote Peter obi for 2019. I rest my case! |

CASTOSVILLA: You statement is not correct, DSP is loved so much in his constituency. He has large following in Enugu State. He is already holding the PDP ticket for 2019 election. I can assure that he is not defecting to APC. He might be angry about something, but defecting to APC is not one of them. Senator Ekweremmadu is no failure!!! Get your facts right. He started awarding scholarships and skills empowerment programme right from his first term. His programs extends to Enugu North Senatorial district, though he is from Enugu west. He has attracted schemes, road construction, etc in Aninri, Greater Awgu Communities. Not forgetting the road linking Aninri to Ebonyi State. So don't associate DSP with failure. Thank you. |

Wiseandtrue: Ur words are absolutely correct, in kano, the moment kwakwso went back to the party the national leaders disregarded the existing party members that bled and shed tears for pdp. After the 4yr of hatred and stoning from locals time for harvest is due and theyre thrown away, kwakwaso didnt give any of them ticket, he took everything for himself and secundus approved ![]() National leaders never knew kwkaso was cursed by the People the minute he left buhari They'll win 0 seats in kano Lol 1 Like |
