‘ekweremadu’s Emergence Solved Big Puzzle For APC’ by shachris02: 7:12am On Jul 05, 2015 |
A chieftain of the All Progressives Congress (APC) who claimed to be involved in the project that saw to the emergence of Peoples Democratic Party’s, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, as the deputy president of the Senate, has said that Ekweremadu’s emergence solved a “major unity and inclusiveness puzzle for the APC, by default.” He made this known in Abuja at the weekend, in an exclusive chat with Sunday Sun. The party chieftain, who does not want his name in print because of the dimension the issue has assumed in recent times, further said unusual times call for unusual decisions, insisting that the circumstances that ushered the APC into power was unusual, as such, it should learn to live with the unusual decision that threw up Ekweremadu, whom he said, should also be seen as a “stabilizer” for the system. Since the emergence of Ekweremadu as the deputy president of the Senate, in a Senate where the APC is in clear majority, tongues have continued to wag, with some Nigerians, especially those of the APC, insisting that Ekweremadu should give way. But the APC chieftain, who incidentally is a northerner, sees it differently. He told Sunday Sun that what Nigeria was currently experiencing had equally taken place in the past in the United States, where the then President Abraham Lincoln had to sacrifice a fellow Republican and first term Vice President, Hannibal Hamlin for Andrew Johnson who was a Democrat from the South. Lincoln, he noted, did that to show that in war or unusual times, “national unity is paramount. So this is the same way I am seeing Ekweremadu’s emergence. I therefore believe that his emergence as deputy president of the Senate had solved a major unity and inclusiveness puzzle for the APC by default,” the source, added. He further said that, “the truth is that we would have had a major crisis on our hands as a party in the Senate, in terms of ensuring that the change we promised Nigerians sails smoothly, if what happened had not happened. The South-south and South-east alone produced 32 Senators of the PDP, out of the 49. And we have just 60, including the one that died. Tell me how the Senate would have functioned effectively, if we don’t carry the PDP along? “And I also think we are just over-flogging the matter. In Plateau and Benue, where we’re the minority in the House, we produced the Speaker. I think I will borrow Ekweremadu’s words here by saying, politics is over, and we should put it behind us. It is time to face governance, before Nigerians further lose their patience,” the APC chieftain added.

I completely agree APC are not thinking about how they will get their bills passed if they think of that then they will be glad about Ekweremadu's emergence This for APC is a default coalition required for smooth running of the Senate and I have said it before that it was very naïve of APC to make a crisis out of this. |

APC has shown that it was all about grabbing power from PDP. To them taking over from PDP was something personal and not necessarily in the interest of the ordinary Nigerian. Now they have what they have been fighting for they don't know what to do with it. I am not convinced at all that the emergence of Ike as the DSP would hinder the plans the APC claimed to have for Nigeria pre-election. |

Ekweremadus emergence is democracy in action. It is good and a very exportable democratic product that even the us will like to share in. |
