ABUJA: THE Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, has alleged that there is an orchestrated plan by some politicians to falsely indict him in order to force him out of office. Ekweremadu, in a statement released
by his media office on Thursday,
alleged that the masterminds of the
plot are planning to publish false and
defamatory information against his
person. According to him, those after him are
currently scrutinising the accounts of
the Senate and accounts of committees
in which he had served with the aim of
nailing him. He vowed to resist all forms of
intimidation and remain focused to the
end. “The Office of the Deputy President of
the Senate wishes to bring to the
knowledge of the public some
clandestine efforts by desperate
political elements to publish false and
defamatory information against the office and person of the Deputy
President of the Senate, Senator Ike
Ekweremadu. “These elements are currently making
desperate efforts, including
scavenging through Senate accounts
and committees he served in, with the
sole aim of misrepresenting
information, maligning, and running him out of office by hook or crook or
force him to resign from office as the
Deputy President of the Senate. “The Deputy President of the Senate
appreciates the principled stance of
most media houses not to be used in
this business of blackmail, falsehood,
and cheap propaganda. “Meanwhile, it will interest Nigerians to
know that the office has it on good
authority that the elements behind this
unscrupulous push are the same
people whose recent staunch defence
of bipartisan leadership in the legislature as rightly being consistent
with the 1999 Constitution (as
amended), the presidential system of
government, and our history is in the
public domain. “The Deputy President of the Senate is
ever committed to contributing his
quota towards ensuring that the
Federal Government of Nigeria
provides good governance that caters
to the wellbeing of the good people of Nigeria, for it remains the common and
primary calling of all of those in
government, irrespective of party
affiliation. “However, the Deputy President of the
Senate also remains committed to the
institution of the National Assembly
and independence of the legislature,
hence he will not allow himself to be
intimidated or stampeded out of office. “While we advise patriotic Nigerians to
be on the lookout for such
misinformation and regard them as
the puerile propaganda that they are,
we want to assure them that just like
the phantom alleged forgery of the Senate Standing Rules, this too will
surely fail,” he said. Ekweremadu’s statement is coming on
the heels of charges of false
declaration of assets instituted against
Senate President Bukola Saraki by the
Code of Conduct Bureau (CCB), for
which he is standing trial. Since Saraki and Ekweremadu’s
emergence as Senate President and
Deputy Senate President, respectively,
against the wishes of the ruling All
Progressives Congress (APC), they
have come under pressure to vacate the offices.

Okay...we're watching and waiting

They will come in one way and scatter in several ways!!! Obviously they now know they have no case as far as the so-called forgery acse is concerned hence they are grappling at straws!!! Nothing will happen!!! Buhari would soon find out this is 2015 and not 2984

"a thousand shall fall by your side, ten thousands by your right side, but none shall touch you sir. The youths of this country are solidly behind you, you won the election by merit, and by so you are the chosen one. Please help us to protect saraki(the messiah of our modern democracy) from any down fall". Quote me anywhere

I challenge Bola Tinubu and his allies to use their media clout for something positive for once!

Introduce and sensible bill and use your media clout to promote the bill untill it gets passed. There are a lot to be done, from equality laws to employment laws to bills that will help create a social contract between the government and the people. Use you media contact to promote something positive and stop trying to pull people down!

Our politicians only fight for power and wealth. Who will fight for development?

They have president, senate president, speaker, judiciary, accountant general, Budget Office, DSS, army, customs, nscdc, and more, yet they are still eyeing ordinary deputy senate president seat. Chai

God no go let them

PDP submits proposal for 2019:

Zoning formula:

President - North
V.President - South

equals

President - Saraki
V.President - Ekweremadu

The igbos are at your back, they will all fail.

Why is Ekweremadu jittery?

Ordinary abi? You would know when he is out of that office. Please get your facts straight, what do you mean by the judiciary? Am tempted to educate you on this judiciary thing, but just noticed we are in politics section, meet the guys @education section, they should be able to help you understand better.
