The Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, has said that he never contemplated leaving the Peoples Democratic Party for APC; stating that what people are saying about his leaving the major opposition party are mere rumours which contains no iota of truth.
Ekweremadu noted with worry that he left the country few days ago on a pre-scheduled engagement, only to be inundated with calls from friends and political associates seeking clarification on the rumours of his departure from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which has dominated the media.
Ekweremadu, who made the clarification on his facebook wall, noted, “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.
“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, be rest assured that I am still in the PDP”, he said.
