Former Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, has said the South- East will not vote for the Presidential Candidate of Labour Party, Peter Obi, in the 2023 elections.

Obi, who was one of the PDP Presidential aspirants, had defected to Labour Party before the PDP Primaries won by former Vice-President Atiku Abubakar.

Despite being from the same region with Obi, Ekweremadu said the South East can not take the risk of voting for Labour Party in the 2023 presidential election.

Although Ekweremadu spoke shortly after Governor Ifeanyi Okowa of Delta State was announced as Atiku’s running mate, the video is currently trending on social media.

It is unclear the media outfit that Ekweremadu spoke with but a female voice was heard in the video posted on YouTube.

“I assure you that South East will vote for the People Democratic Party (PDP). I can guarantee that. No doubt Peter Obi is our son, but you need to be dynamic. You need to ask yourself, can peter win the presidential election? Can the East afford to throw away their votes? Can we afford to be sentimental in matters that concern our people, our children, and our future ? No”

“We do not intend to do a thing which we will regret in future. So, why we believe that Peter is ably qualified, we believe that the future of our people lies with PDP. So we need to make that decision as the leaders. I am going to sit with our people and explain to them.”

“Okowa, of course is one of us, so there is no difference between Okowa and Peter in terms of protecting the interest of the South. So we will go and give the people of the South East that opportunity.”

Arewanorth i don't know why you are celebrating this cos it doesn't help tinubu chance in any way

Perphas it's part of the general northern agenda of north backing atiku in secret while playing tinubu in the open

Truth be told ,even Ekweremadu will vote Peter Obi , don't be deceived by this talk. Na party talk be this, you don't expect Ekweremadu that's in PDP to come and say otherwise publicly.

If Ike goes contrary, they panel beating he received in Germany will be Child's play compare to what will await him anytime he travels out of 9ja.


If Ekweremadu no vote Labor make I know why.

This one sef dey talk
No be dis one Igbo people tear hin cloth for Germany?
Someone who couldn't muscle his way in Enugu PDP to get ordinary gubernatorial ticket is forming relevant.

When did your 1 vote turn to south east?
Seems you want to be disgraced by Igbos just like Ebonyians disgraced umahi

South East, South South giving PDP the usual block votes is a settled issue

North East giving their son block votes is a settled issue

North Central giving PDP more votes when Muslim Muslim is revealed is a settled issue

We would all share north west

If SE votes go to confusion and Kwankwaso destroy Kano votes and some places (not states) in the North then Tinubu's game we'll be well played!

Ekweremadu is a political orphan now, dumped by the PDP governorship and lost his Senate ticket, he will be playing for the highest bidders.

But if he knows how off point his statement was, he would see that his return to relevance is very far away.

You're speaking for yourself, not south east, neither did anybody make you spokesman for South East?

Imagine

No one is ready for a better Nigeria

South East must vote Labour Party then Congratulations will be in order for President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

Vote TINUBU 2023. Vote APC.

obi is a protege of ojukwu, if SE didn't have confusion voting PDP ahead of ojukwu it's not his boy that would change it

Labour Party when no see party agent conduct election in Ekiti won't see 100k votes in the entire SE

lol, false hope

SE/SS is sealed for PDP

If we even remove SE, (NE,NC,SS) is sealed for atiku against SW where tinubu would be getting 70% highest

All I want to do now is to make more money……some young agile youths are fighting over Nigeria politics when most of them don’t even understand Nigeria political problems. Now I understand why the minister of education from the north removed history subject from our educational system.
