Mixed reactions have trailed
recent comment made by
renowned actor, Pete
Edochie on the alleged
moves to remove the deputy
Senate president, Ike
Ekweremadu, from his
position.
The actor’s statement
generated controversies
from a section of Nigerians
on the social media, with
some suggesting that his
comments could get him into
trouble.
He was advised to face his
acting career and stay away
from politics, if he wants to
live longer.
DAILY POST recalls that
recently, Edochie blasted the
President Muhammadu
Buhari-led government and
his party, the All
Progressives Congress,
over their insistence on the
removal of Ekweremadu as
the Deputy Senate President.
The APC leadership, including
some governors elected
under the party’s platform,
see the removal of
Ekweremadu as a task that
must be accomplished.
The respected actor in a
post on his Facebook wall
entitled: “Pete Edochie
Quotes” slammed the Buhari-
led government for chasing
shadows while the situation
in the country worsened.
He wrote in part : ‘If
Ekweremadu’s removal will
help stabilize the economy,
then, they should do all
within their power to remove
him.
“If Ekweremadu’s removal
will stop Nigerians from
losing their jobs, then,it is a
task that must be done.
“If Ekweremadu’s removal
will make Buhari to abandon
his 97% and 5% policy, stop
Buhari from seeking to turn
Nigeria to a fiefdom where
the only capable hands are
only people from a certain
part of the country, then,
Ekweremadu’s immediate
constituency should recall
him from the senate.”
Concerned Nigerians on
Facebook however
suggested that his comments
could get him into trouble.
Below are some reactions
that trailed the veteran
actor’s post on Facebook as
well as on the DAILY POST
website where what he said
was also published as news
story:
@Tman: “Anoda Igbo
supporting Nija project.
IPOB, where is your base? It
seem u are a prodigal son?”
@pando: “Tman, your
comment shows you lack
understanding and did not
understand Pete’s
message.”
@ Emakpo Yenrie Austin:
“Come Nor Be Juju Thing Or

@Josephat Eze: “You no go

@Tolulope Yemisi: “See
,people one thing about
Nigeria is we’ll just stay
here to talk we can do
nothing. Rather,let’s pray
that things will go well in the
NASS because anything can
happen it is in the same
country that senate
president was removed what
did we do nothing.”
@Ararhure Eseore: “Mentic!
there is wisdom in his
sayings” I think the senate
leadership tussle is a
distraction and unwarranted.
They have chosen their
leaders so be it. Let them
work for they are being paid
to work for the citizens of
this country this issue has
lingered on for too long and
it’s becoming unnecessary
waste of time and energy.
Considering the time,
resources and energy put
into this project and it’s not
yielding the desired result,
it’s high time we let the
sleeping dogs lie.”
@Yusuf Babatunde Adeniyi:
“Old man,pls leave the
politicians to play their
game.where were you under
GEJ.”

Ekweremadu’s removal will
