PRESS RELEASE
RE-Tinubu behind plot to remove Ekweremadu by Ohanaeze Ndigbbo youth wing.
 
Our attention has been drawn to a defamatory press statement released by the youth wing of Ohanaeze Ndigbo accusing All Progressive Congress National Leader, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu of plotting to remove Ekweremadu as Deputy Senate president.

We have watched with total displeasure how individuals within and outside our party castigating our dear esteem leader with reckless abandonment without a response from us. We therefore take exception to this statement credited to the youth wing of Ohanaeze Ndigbo.

We are all aware that PDP ruled this nation from 1999-2015 and not for once did an opposition party member elected as Senate President or Deputy Senate President, PDP wouldn’t  have allowed it in the first place. Until the election in 2015 that brought in APC to power, the arrangement in APC was to zone the Senate Presidency to the South East but majority of Igbo decided to vote for PDP and as such missed the golden opportunity of an igbo Senator on the platform of APC to become the Senate President.

All progressive congress youth league hereby states that the call for Ekweremadu's removal is not just a call by an individual in APC but a collective call by our party. We are aware that the 7th senate standing rule states that for a presiding officer to emerge, he must score 2/3 votes as at 4th of June, only for the rules to be changed between 5th-8th Of June, 2015 to 1/3 votes and this was used for the election or selection on the 9th of June in the national assembly. These unacceptable amendments lead to Ekweremadu being fraudulently elected as Deputy Senate President. It is obvious, that Ekweremadu came through the back door and surely through the back door, he must leave.

We wish to put the record straight that our esteem Asiwaju and other party leaders in APC are not anti igbo. We acknowledged the votes that came from the igbo nation because they help in putting the present Government in power. We can never and will never be the enemies of the Ndigbo. Let us all thread with caution about our statements not to further heat up the polity.
We are also aware that Mr. President said at the last APC NEC meeting that personal interest should be pocketed and party directives should be obeyed by all loyal APC members. Hence, the party directive must be followed and which include the removal of senator Ekweremadu. This is simply non negotiable.
 
They say In politics, there are no permanent friend nor permanent enemy but permanent interest and as such we are of the firm believe that a time will come when it will be the turn of ndigbo to present a Presidential Candidate and will need the help of the Man and other party leaders in APC that they are trying hard to bring down. If Ohaneze Ndigbo wants a leadership in APC senate, then they know which party to vote for in 2019.
 
We therefore urge the so called youth group and any other group to refrain from casting aspersion on the person and personality of Asiwaju Tinubu or other APC leaders. APC youth league Lagos state cordinate reaffirm our earlier stand that senator Ekeremadu must do the needful by stepping aside as the deputy senate president immediately before he is humbled.

Thank you

If this are the youth in APC then am sorry for Nigeria
PDP first for a fact didn't have this much opposition until APC was formed and the same APC took the leadership of the house of rep even as a minority in the house
And you guys have the mind to complain about ordinary deputy senate president
I even blame PDP for not electing a PDP senate president let me see the mouth u guys will have to talk

Hence, the party directive must be followed and which include the removal of senator Ekweremadu.

Nonsense....Ekweremadu is going nowhere! How will they remove him? Through Presidential order or through APÇ order? For the record it will take 2/3 members of the Senate to sack Ekweremadu from his position as DSP. APC don't have the numbers. There is nothing they can do about this.

I know they will rush to reply Ohaneze Youth but act like Ostrich when Northerners speak.

They attack Igbo women.

They attack Stella Oduah.

They attack Aruma Oteh.

They attacking Ngozi Okonjo Iwuala

Even the able bodied men protesting in Lagos chose to block a company own by an Igbo woman Stella Okorie. Instead of Lapido, Mandilas and ASPAMDA where Igbo men trade

Drug addict, Leave the village and stop posting trash online. At your age, you still live with your aged senile mother in the village. What a pathetic life. Ebuka, grow up and stop wasting your life online.

you guys like this "just because he z igbo" to protect/defend dirty igbos ...how many times v u seen other tribes defends their scums with "just because". You guys v deep problem...dont even know if its d persecution complex from Biafra war. If dtz d case den ojukwu z largely to blame.

Does APC owe PDP any explanation in achieving an APC deputy senate president in an APC controlled senate?

If the Igbos want the position, they'll have to vote for the party that will be majority. APC has no business pleasing the opposition.

Saraki's ambition can destroy any political party.

Buhari's snubbing is in order.

Na Saraki give you mouth. This shouldn't have become a topic of discussion.

What if the courts rule the contentious amendments as invalid, thereby nullifying the senate leadership elections?
