Contrary to earlier media reports, the Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu explained Friday that he never said that President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration has worsened Boko Haram insurgency in the country.

He, however, cautioned that challenges like terrorism and insurgency, which have wasted lives and property of
innocent Nigerians and many of “our loved ones are beyond politics
and should therefore not be trivalised on the altar of narrow political interest.

In a statement by his Special Adviser,Media, Uche Anichukwu and titled, “The Challenge of Insurgency is beyond Partisanship,” Ekweremadu said, “The attention of the Office of the Deputy President of the Senate has been drawn to the attempt to misrepresent and sensationalise an innocuous call by Senator Ike Ekweremadu to Nigerians to pray for and rally round the Federal
Government to win the war against insurgency.

“Specifically, the Deputy President of the Senate was reported by two national dailies as stating that the
President Muhammadu Buhari Administration has worsened
insurgency.

“Whereas Senator Ekweremadu expressed concerns over the resurgence of Boko Haram attacks in parts of the country, at no time did he try to blame it on the present administration. It is instead on record that he not only commended the efforts of the present administration, especially in building international support and synergy to tackle the monstrous group, but he also called for greater inter-party, intergovernmental, and international collaboration to address the problem.

“It is instructive that his patriotic comments were well captured by many electronic and print media.
They include: “Boko Haram: Ekweremadu Seeks Support for
Buhari” (Leadership, Friday, July 10, 2015) and “Boko Haram: US
Pledges Deepened Support for Nigeria… Ekweremadu rallies Support
for Buhari” (New Telegraph, Friday, July 10, 2015).

“The fact that out of the 75-man Senate Press Corps, representing various media houses, which were present at the function, only one medium sensationally skewed its statement
out of context, while a second medium copied the same story without a byline (name of reporter), tells the whole story of a devious intent”.

Don't be surprise if the DSP come out to deny this very statement.

Bloody coward

Ekweremadu! Feeling the heat. Well me think Tanoids should note ds mans action now b4 blaming it on s/w north conspiracy. Nairaland is so ful of the South. One thing with we north is that, u talk [south] aand we act [north] so ekweremadu keep talkin. D more he talks, d more years he adds to s/e never smelin d Presidency.

Whether u like it or not,u must be remove as dsp, btw- how can boko haram resurrect, if gej truly kill them.

Ekweremadu is refuting the sensational reporting of his speech by referring independent observers/discussants to other two credible electronic media / news prints.

If you have emancipated yourself from mental and political slavery then go check his reference and stop being an irritant to intellectual discussions and debates.

Say No to Sensationalism and Commercialization of news headlines and articles.

Typical!
Double mouthed coward,cant even stand on/for his words.

Look at how quick he ate his words.
Bloody coward DSP.

Mark my words, he's losing that sit by next week.
