The Deputy President of the Senate, Chief Ike Ekweremadu has berated the Governor of Imo State, Owelle Rochas Okorocha, over his reported claims that he (Ekweremadu) relocated to Imo State during the inconclusive Imo North Senatorial District re-run election, in a bid to influence the outcome in favour of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
In a statement issued by the Special Adviser (Media) to the Deputy President of the Senate, Mr. Uche Anichukwu, he said the Ekweremadu would have “allowed the governor to continue to wallow in his delusions and wild claims, but, considering the fact that this is the second consecutive statement by the governor in one week wherein he attempted to impugn the integrity and democratic credentials of the Office and person of the Deputy President of the Senate, we are being compelled to set the record straight”.

Continuing, Mr. Anichukwu said: “The Deputy President of the Senate visited Imo State for the last time in 2015. It is also instructive that the governor’s claim comes on the heels of another statement by some All Progressives Congress (APC) elements in Ezeagu Local Government Area on Sunday where they whined bitterly over the huge solidarity shown by the good people, stakeholders, and traditional rulers of Enugu State to Senator Ekweremadu during his annual Ikeoha Scholarship and Bursary Awards/Adult Literacy Day at the Council headquarters on the same Saturday, June 23, 2016.


“For the same party to also claim that the same Ekweremadu who was empowering his people at Ezeagu in a well reported event on the same Saturday was also in Imo State at the same time to influence election is just another showcase of the buffet of lies, deceit, and confusion that has become the order of the day in the ruling party”.

He advised Governor Okorocha and other APC leaders in the South East zone to “preoccupy themselves with ending the invasions and killings by purported herdsmen, gross marginalization of Ndigbo in the distribution of opportunities and the blessings of democracy as well as the worrisome trend of inconclusive elections”.

Mr. Anichukwu said Governor Okorocha’s statement also showed poor understanding of the workings of the legislature, noting that Ekweremadu was not perturbed in any way by the wishful prospects of an APC Senator of South-East extraction.

“The Senate has a ranking rule, and if Okorocha was not able to secure a principal office, even Deputy Majority Whip for the two House of Representatives Members from Imo State, it is left to imagination how he would be able to appoint a Deputy President for the Senate. He is on a wild goose chase”.

Okorocha and Ekweremadu, who u epp?

Both fighting for their pockets!

Nonsense

Okorocha; scamer turned philanthropist turned governor...then started going around giving lectures in leadership (only in Nigeria).

Okorocha is a big disgrace. I'm from Imo State I still can't believe that my people voted for Apc. I'm very ashamed of my people honestly

Since I was born and now I am getting old I have never seen a linus party as APC.

Rochas should wake up! He is only relevant and popular in his state. He is no where near d political circus at the centre.

That is even true.Imo had 2 APC HOR members during the inauguration of 8th NASS and nothing was given to them yet Okoroawusa claims he can make a new commer DSP!!!

In the end we shall know exactly who's been chasing a wild goose.

Patience mr man, patience..

Okoroawusa is a disgrace to Igboland, his kindred, his family and generation. APC and rigging + inconclusiveness are like bread and butter.

Mr Patience in case you don't know the DSP is about celebrating his second anniversary as the DSP of the 8th senate.The stupid Okoroawusa who could not secure any principal position for the two imo APC HOR members during the inauguration of the 8th senate is now blabbing!!

Adaure4ever come and see one of the many reasons Igbos hate the fat unlettered incompetent failed b.astard called Okorocha.

Am coming

It is even more worrisome that Imo state despite being an APC state got a junior minister in education while other SE states got senior ministers. This is to tell you how inconsequential imo state is in the scheme of things.

Remember Lost Goats of Uganda, I do not respond to Goats.

Thanks.

Okorocha want a first term senator to become a deputy Senate president. I understand his shenanigans. He want to appear good in the eyes of north and SW towards his dream of becoming a President. He will die trying.

Okorocha counting his chicks before it hatch.

I am just tired of people like you. Here's a governor telling barefaced lie against the DSP just to score some silly political points and you can't see anything wrong with that? Why can't you just keep your mouth/phone/laptop shut if there's nothing concrete to say? Must you blindly support people when they are wrong? Haba!

Okorocha is on a long thing.

But the last term I heard, u indicated that Apc can never gain a single vote from south east not to talk of winning senatorial seat. Probably those casting votes for Apc are ghosts from south west. These people and their chest beating habit are like bread and butter. May God help them o

Who doesn't know that Okoroawusa is a political con man!

Its a pity that my beloved state was hoodwinked to voting to a man of greed and Shylock capitalist!
