My vision in politics is a system that works for everybody, a social and political environment where everybody, every section, and every tribe not only counts, but is also seen to count. As leaders, we must be mindful of this, for any system built on anything less will not endure.

To tell us they know what is right and are not doing.

"Be rest assured, I'm still in PDP" Ekeremadu

What happened to saying 'be rest assured I will remain in the PDP'? Dont you think it's a better construction if he really want to assure his followers of his loyalty to the party.

Did Akpabio not use 'still' B4 decamping
What of Ortom a day B4 decamping?

Anoda disappointment...APC right now

Your comprehension of English language is poor.

Scroll up. Read the passage again, now slowly. Pause. Then, meditate on it. Now give your response.

Ekeremadu's statement is coded. You need a little above average intelligence to decipher.

Sanusi: Nigeria Projected To Remain Poverty Capital Of The World Till 2050

Muhammad Sanusi II, the emir of Kano, says Nigeria may remain the poverty capital of the world till 2050 and beyond.

Speaking at his honorary induction into Sigma Club, at the University of Ibadan over the weekend, the former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria said based on current realities, Nigeria and DR Congo will house 40 percent of the world’s poorest people by 2050.

The revered economist said he gathered from the just concluded UN General Assembly that current projections show that Africa will be home to 80 percent of the world’s poorest people.

“If every country continues its present trajectory, by 2050, 80 per cent of all the poor people in the world will live on the African continent,” he said.

“That is not the frightening thing. One half of this 80 per cent will be in Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Two countries will account for 40 per cent of all the poor people in the world and Nigeria will therefore remain the poverty capital of the world.”

Speaking of what Nigeria used to be, the emir said “this is a country that has produced many great people. This is a country that has boasted of best professors, greatest intellectuals, and the most educated people”.

“In 1960, the per capital income in Nigeria was higher than what it was in South Korea, and China. My father was the first ambassador of Nigeria to China in 1972.

“In 1972, he had to go to Hong Kong every two weeks to buy essential commodities because they were not available in Beijing. He could not find milk, sugar and cornflakes in Beijing; he had to go to Hong Kong in 1972, not 100 years ago.

“In 1974, when Deng Xiaoping started opening up in China, there were 700 million Chinese living in extreme poverty. Today, that number is down to only 30 million people in one generation. In 1974, China had only 8million university graduates.

“Today, China has more than 300 million university graduates, more than the entire population of the United States of America. Yet, China did not have direct foreign investments; in fact China stopped it.

“We talk about miracles, ancient miracles. I don’t like the word miracles because miracles are associated with angels with wings that you do not see, coming from the sky. The Chinese are human beings like us and they did it.

“When we say miracle, it sounds like something supernatural that has some certain powers to it. Every time you think about it, the only deficit we have is a policy deficit.”

Sanusi said the politics of 2019 is not interrogating the major issues affecting Nigeria today.

“We have elections in 2019, I read the papers, I look at the television, and listen to the discussions, who is talking about education? Who is talking about nutrition? Who is talking about basic health? As a country, what are our priorities? We don’t have enough money for education. We don’t have enough money for health. We don’t have enough money for nutrition.

“But we have N1trillion or N2trillion to spend on petroleum subsidies. Where is our sense of what is important, and where is our investment in the future?

“So, for all Nigerians, who care about this country, the real task before us is to know that we have 30 years on the outside in which we need to make sure that we do not become the poverty capital of the world, and slum of the world.”

Earlier in 2018, Nigeria overtook India to become the poverty capital of the world. According to British prime minister Theresa May, 87 million Nigerians are living below the poverty line.

who cares if he decamped. as election stands now he's inconsequential in East talkless out of East

Summary....

I might defect o. I dey tell una now o.

Sharp guys, he neither denied the defections rumours nor declared his intention NEVER to defect. He clearly state the his obvious current political situation of him still being a PDP member.

latsy:
He did not address the question.

At all, Even with the post, you will know something is going on in His mind

I never believed that he would leave PDP for APC!
there are already enough crisis in APC Enugu chapter!
So going to APC at this period of factions would have been political stupidity!
if he was leaving PDP for SDP or any other lesser party,that would have been understandable!
However that would have been the end of his political relevance!

He simply wanted to test his popularity! simple!
...And he got an overwhelming response....

Na so akpabio been yarn

Fianze93:
"After going through your write up, there was no place you refuted this rumor and it’s quiet uncommon of you but be rest assured that anyday you leave PDP for APC, the respect you command in the south east is gone. Ask Rochas, Orji Uzor, Kalu Chris Ngige or any other big figure that joined APC. God bless"

The above is Njoku Chinedu's comment on the post on Mr DSP Facebook post... And I sincerely agree

But Njoku Chinedu is a staunch APC supporter na

Keep your hatred for apc aside and embrace objectivity.if ekweremmadu is really popular and grounded,then he will succeed in any party he goes.thats how grassroot and well rooted politicians are.to say he can only be relevant in pdp is fallacy or showcases him as a superficial politician

senatordave1:
Na so akpabio been yarn

That was before the primaries! ekeremadu can't defect to a party that has too many factions already!

Forget this man go soon revamp....

“Please, be rest assured that I am still in the PDP"

he hasn't said he will not leave

I have little or no sympathy for any party
am only saying things as they are....
They are too many factions in APC enugu currently...are you aware?
So who will step down for ekweremadu between the two factions?
A particular governor is going against both its national chairman and leader....is that true?
between you and me,who is being objective?
It will amount to intellectual deficiency if the deputy leaves PDP for APC!

arsenal33:
“Please, be rest assured that I am still in the PDP"

he hasn't said he will not leave

He may but not to APC...
first of all,APC already have two factions in Enugu!
So if he goes to APC, who will step aside for him?

I love this guy for his loyalty just that Nigerian politics don't really apreciate that ..I like him alot

He did not deny he wants to join APC sha.



He only said he's still in PDP lol

He wasnt going to change from day one and i always doubted the report. Just speculators being mischievous...

Actually, between a rock and a very soft place.
Where he has gone to under the banner of the PDP there are very few people who will dream of such. Others wouldn’t dare to dream.

Yet, he is making noise that someone was chosen as a VP candidate over him as if the Presidential Candidate doesn’t have the sole right to choose his VP.

He should go to APC for all we care. If he thinks Ndigbo will bat an eyelid, then he doesn’t know his people. I suspect, though, that the noise in the Press was leaked by him so that Atiku calls him and negotiates with him. Politicians do this all the time.

the whole write up does not have meaning , just like yorubas , if you say now that Britain or Germany is doing racism or denying visa , they will all jump out en mass to condemn it , but repair your own country so that we Nigerian stop being slaves to others , they will choose to support an evil person with out any vision for the country and still crying that Africa is caused , is it not hypocrisy?

There's fire on the mountain.

There's no fire anywhere, Ekweremadu's corruption probe is getting more intense hence he's weighing the options of defecting to APC to avoid conscription of his assets.
One good thing about South easterners is that we don't do follow follow politics.Hence his leaving PDP is irrelevant
