Former Deputy President of the Senate and the current senator representing Enugu West Senatorial district, Senator Ike Ekweremadu has urged the people of Enugu to pray for him if they want him to become the governor in 2023. The senator was speaking at an event organized by ANCAS Global outreach Inc and Coal City USA in Enugu over the weekend.

The senator who described himself as a child of destiny said that God has been the secret of his successes in life. According to him, he became the leader of his age grade at the age of twelve and became the president of his town union at the age of thirty, making him the youngest person to attain that position. Ekweremadu pointed out that his rise to the peak of Nigerian politics has been a function of God’s direction and he remains committed to following the lead of God. He went further to say that he has no personal plans or ambitions for 2023 but he is only willing to tow the path of divine direction. He, therefore, urged the people who desire him to be governor of Enugu state in 2023 to pray for him as it is only God who has the final say as to who becomes the next governor.

Speaking further, Ekweremadu encouraged young people at the event to remain determined to achieve success regardless of the prevailing circumstances. In his words, “your background has nothing to do with your greatness, you can grow from anywhere only if you are determined to be great”. He said that prior to his becoming a senator, nobody would have believed that someone from his remote village, Mpu can become a senator of the federal republic let alone becoming the deputy president of the Nigerian senate. He therefore encouraged young people to never give up on their dreams as no one wins a race he didn’t participate in.

The convener of the event, Rev. Maxwell Onyia eulogized Ekweremadu for being an outstanding and exceptional politician. He described the lawmaker as a man of the people who is humble and easily accessible to people regardless of their social status. Rev. Onyia said that Nigeria at this point needs more politicians like Ekweremadu who are nurtured by the fear of God so that people can have a true feel of good governance. The cleric prayed for Ekweramadu and wished him well in his future political endeavours.

This Old Politician should go & rest pls...we need to retire this class of politicians, they have caused more harm than good to Nigeria.
What we need now are vibrant youths atop the Helmand of affairs to drive this nation forward.

What have the younger politician like Desmond Eliot and co done?

The youths wont do shit.

Dont put your hope on the youths.

What about youth like Ikpeazu or youth like Theodore Orji son that lead Abia state house of assembly on daily looting of you, your father's n unborn generations destiny. When will you mention that instead of Desmond that did not steal anything from wretched Alaigbo.

This man has really worked hard to improve his people come 2023 we will give him chance to run as a governor

He should bring candle, kneel down and let's pray for him by spraying him holy perfume.

Some people greed no get rival.

Ekweremadu is extremely greedy.
Ndi Enugu should resist this madness.
Is he the only eligible politician in the state?

The biggest challenge is that Enugu has no opposition. Whoever the PDP adopts as flagbearer becomes the governor.

This man has been relevant in politics since 1999 and it's actually nauseating to learn that he hasn't dropped his gubernatorial ambition.

That's after wasting so many years at the Senate with nothing tangible to point out to as achievement.

Well, As long as he is contesting under Pdp, Enugu people shouldn't see anything wrong with that

pricklewane:
So your dead brain father can not mention this lunatic his picture is attached as an example. His father looted your unwise mother to death, now he is grooming his son to loot your destiny n that of your born or unborn generations but you choice to shut your foolish mouth instead you are chasing Desmond who never stole a dime from you up n down NL. Oloriburuku somebody.

Lol tell him

Ekweremadu wey Amadioha go strike very soon

Ekweremadu go and rest ha! What else do you want?

Why is there so much hate & vile for Ndigbo from you.
what have they as a race done to you & ur generation ?...u curse with so much bitterness, it's a wonder ur alive ?
This is not a good way to live...stop being tribalistic & watch ur life change for good.

Excuse me? Worked hard you say?!
Can you list the just 5 tangible things he has done over 20yrs in Enugu or South East?

My S.E & S.S folks, our immediate Leaders are the worst of the lot.. Truly Our Own Enemy is Within.. Don't blame anyone else.. Blame your immediate leaders.

Why not come out boldly and say you want to vie for governorship instead of pretending and saying the people want you. And what game-changing legislation have you brought to help your people? How I wish 2023 will not be business as usual so that some of these career politicians without substance or legacy will be humiliated.
