Ikology:


You statement is not correct, DSP is loved so much in his constituency. He has large following in Enugu State. He is already holding the PDP ticket for 2019 election. I can assure that he is not defecting to APC. He might be angry about something, but defecting to APC is not one of them.

Senator Ekweremmadu is no failure!!! Get your facts right. He started awarding scholarships and skills empowerment programme right from his first term. His programs extends to Enugu North Senatorial district, though he is from Enugu west. He has attracted schemes, road construction, etc in Aninri, Greater and Awgu. Not forgetting the road linking Aninri to Ebonyi State.

So don't associate DSP with failure.

Thank you.
names can be substituted no stress yourself too much almighty akpabio defected heaven didnt fall

Am beginning to believe this Ekweremadu's defection rumor. At first i thought it was just a ruse but this news has been going on for some time now since last week yet no denial or strong refutal by Ekweremadu's camp or media aides rather they just allowed it to be trending. This, therefore, suggests that there is some element of truth in it cos this was how Akpabio's own also started till it materialized.
you know there is an element of truth in any rumour, so I believe he has made up his mind.

Ekweremmadu is a sore looser. He is worthless in SE. His anger is because a more qualified Peter Obi was chosen as VP ahead of him.

But sentiments aside, he would have been the best option. He has paid his dues, he held strong for the party when all deserted, and chosing him would have solidified the race much stronger. Though this politicians don't care about all that, all they care is their interest

Dilector appeared suddenly at Jerusalem
SE Governors grumbling that they were not concerned
Ohaneze Youth Forum says they haven't endorsed them...


and then..

Buhari is sponsoring Kanu
Obiano is working for Buhari
Umahi is secretly working for Buhari's Victory
and now Ekweremadu is decamping because PDP maltreated him..

Just when you think you have seen a principled politician, your hope gets dashed. So it's all about their selfish interest actually.

Because I don't know how Ekweremadu will now market APC and Buhari to Ndigbo. We he now tell us that Buhari is the saviour while Mbaka is already thinking otherwise?

Will he now try to sell the 2023 Igbo presidency which he knows Tinubu has perfected for southwest in case Buhari is reelected.

Will be now try to justify and rationalize our neglect since Buhari came to power?

The truth is that if Ekweremadu defects, that will be the end of his political career because he'd be defecting with only his wife and children.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

But PDP should still try to appease him anyway.
Best comment so far.He will be defecting with his wife and children full stop. Atiku&Obi is what matters now.

You said it all. But like Osho said, am not bothered. He is a big masquerade with little electoral value in Igbo land. Obi is a better VP candidate.

That is how rumours of akpabio defection started.i wont believe it until ike defects.if he does,its over for pdp.he controls a large chunk of enugu pdp alongside ugwuanyi,very popular across enugu/ebonyi.he will always win elections without campaigning like akume.his defection will give apc 25% of enugu votes plus several pdp members will follow him.most pdp members in enugu have a friendly disposition towards buhari.ike will be senate president in 2019 since it will be zoned to the ibos.

For now,its rumors till he defects.like i said atiku's fall will start from the ss/se.its better for the east to divide their votes and leverage on it to succeed buhari in 2023.

Barring any last minute change, Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu will dump Nigeria’s major opposition party, the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).

Daily Sun gathered that Ekweremadu has been involved in high-level negotiations with the top echelon of the APC, “because he was aggrieved about the way he has been treated since Senate President Dr Bukola Saraki defected to the PDP.

“What is, however, unclear is the position the APC will give him upon defection.

A source said Ekweremadu’s defection “is just in a matter of days.”


This will be another major defection after Saraki and former minority leader, Godswill Akpabio, defected from the APC and PDP, respectively.

It was also gathered that “Ekweremadu was not happy with the way he was used and dumped by the PDP.”


A chieftain of the APC from the South East had earlier said: “Look at the way they treated Ekweremadu. When all of them left, Ekweremadu remained to fight for the survival of this party. How many of them would have resisted the temptation not to defect in the face of the intimidation, harassment, prosecution, and persecution meted out on him.

“As a person, he had nothing to lose if he had defected then. In fact, he had everything to gain. He probably would have been the Senate president because he was offered the slot. Then, when you people now return, you feel that people who had helped this party to survive did not matter, again, simply because you got a presidential ticket. Also, even Saraki knows that if the DSP had not been loyal, they would have gotten at him (Saraki) long ago.

“All the trials Ekweremadu was put through were all because of Saraki. But, when it was the turn of Saraki to be there for him, he failed him and as we speak, how many days is this after the primary. Atiku is yet to call DSP. You don’t treat a man who has been taking bullets on you people’s behalf like that. Well, I wish them and PDP well, but, they should know that action begets reaction and they will pay the price for this mistreatment of people, who labored for the party during the toughest time. And, if Ekweremadu leaves, we will hold these people responsible,” he stated.

It is a case of self interest after all cos all of this things are becoming too dicey,ekweremadu defected been hopeful of his choices and interest taken care of as it was not effective in APC... But now his loyalty to his boss has landed him into neglect and inconsiderable interest.so if he is truly defecting back to APC then it is because he also has eye for the senate president seat also.....This is getting interesting already,cant wait to see what the next few weeks will unveil.
