Ekweremadu: I’m still in PDP

Contrary to rumours making rounds that the Deputy Senate President,  Professor  Ike  Ekwetemadu,  has defected to the All Progressives Congress (APC), he has stated clearly that he is still in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
In a statement, Ekweremadu said: “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 Peoples Democratic Party (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. ”
Ekweremadu  added that his vision in politics is the one that works for everybody.
In his words: ” 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.”, he stated.
