Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, has finally released a statement debunking the allegation that he is nursing plans to resign from the opposition Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, to ruling All Progressives Congress, APC.
In a statement issued by Ekweremadu’s office in Abuja, on Wednesday afternoon, the Deputy Senate President, dismissed as false insinuations and reports, that the he could be on his way to the ruling APC, in order to save his job.
The statement described the claims as, “a fantasy of those peddling it.” He assured the PDP faithfuls and Nigerians, that he is going nowhere.
The statement reads: “Senator Ekweremadu is not contemplating leaving PDP. He is more concerned about fixing the country’s biting economic and security conditions, and other challenges, than saving his job as the Deputy President of the Senate.
“It is his view that Nigeria has to first exist for us to have political parties to belong to, or political offices to occupy. Studies have shown a direct relationship between economic conditions and survival of democracy.
“The primary responsibility our Constitution places on our government, is to cater to the well-being of the citizens, as well as security of their lives and property. When such are threatened, everyone should necessarily get serious and preoccupied with contributing his or her quota to salvaging the country.
“By strength alone shall no man prevail. Therefore, let us get down on our knees and continue to present the government and the country before God”, Ekweremadu stated.
