Senate President Bukola Saraki and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate Atiku Abubakar, among other party bigwigs are making frantic ‎efforts to cajole Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu to remain in the party, Daily Trust has learnt. It was gathered that as part of the efforts to convince Ekweremadu to remain in PDP, Saraki, Atiku and the PDP National Chairman, Uche Secondus, met with the deputy Senate president at his Abuja residence on Monday night.

Sources told Daily Trust yesterday in Abuja that the trio of Atiku, Saraki and Secondus alongside other PDP stalwarts appealed to Ekweremadu not to feel alienated by the party which he supported during its most turbulent moments.

“They felt that they’ve taken the man for granted too much. So, they now visited him to iron things out,” one of the sources said. But the truth of the matter is that they’ve goofed, that’s why they wanted to right their wrongs,” he added.

Another source said Ekweremadu’s interest was not the VP slot but what would go to the south-East in terms of projects as well as the issue of restructuring and the opportunity to produce president in 2023.

Mild drama

There was a mild drama at the Senate yesterday when Ekweremadu did something that appeared to be a campaign for the APC’s “Next Level” while he was presiding plenary.

The incident happened after the Senate finished the consideration of some bills at the Committee of Whole, after which senators were to revert to plenary. This was ‎when Ekweremadu said “Those in favour that the Senate do move to the next level say aye, those against say nay.”

The statement made the Senate Leader, Ahmad Lawan (APC, Yobe) to express delight over Ekweremadu’s comment.

Ekweremadu had recently led some governors from the South East for a courtesy visit to President Muhammadu Buhari. The governors later said the visit had nothing to do with 2019.

Ekweremadu had been reported to be nurturing the idea of dumping the PDP following the choice of Peter Obi, a former governor of Anambra State, as the vice presidential running mate to Atiku “without proper consultations.”

He was also angered that Atiku and other PDP handlers side-lined him by denying him any role in the party’s presidential campaign council despite being the highest elective officer of the party until recently.

It was learnt that about two weeks ago when the PDP was to hold a meeting with the ‎South East leaders in Enugu, Ekweremadu got the invitation only few hours to the event.

Also, Daily Trust gathered that while other PDP bigwigs got the invitation ahead of time to attend the last week’s turbaning of Atiku as Waziri Adamawa in Yola, Ekweremadu’s invitation was delivered to him two days to the event.

Fake news

Day yaf not break, they yaf started serving us lie lie story like hot pap and akara.

Please what's the difference between fake news and Hate speach set


This yeye Change and Imaginary next level people will not face Thier front.

I am not interested in politics. I am interested in healthy economy that grows at 7% per year. Jonathan was able to deliver 5% GDP growth for 5 years. Buhary has not delivered even 2% GDP growth in the past 3 years. I am explaining why everybody is suffering today in Nigeria. It is because the economy is not growing. This is to inform our youth on what to look out for in a leader in 2019 Elections.

Story for the gods. South east is PDP please.

what is move to pacify? he has already been pacified a long time ago since the southeast is pro pdp. he has no choice than to stand with the people or become the people enemy

Begi begi, even this one should know that, he is about to be finally used and ... U know the rest.

Issorait.

Provide your own proof that these are lies

Desperation in the camp of apc/buhari written al lover!

ekweremadu...... hmmmmm... nd dey tell am b4 now oooo

They are wasting their time. Ekweremadu will never support Peter Obi. All the governors in the south east have tactically withdrawn from supporting Atiku's candidacy. They are just waiting for the election to bury Atiku and his arrogance plus Peter Obi and his bigotry for good

Ekweremadu is moving on to rhe NEXT LEVEL.. PDP can die for all we care

first stage of defeat is denial dont worry u will move to the next stage soon

Ekweremmadu should go and sit down. He would have been the worst mistake PDP made since 1999 if they had chosen him as VP, this is due to heavy corruption cases against him by the EFCC. Ekweremmadu has nothing to bring to the table.

You must be very defeated then to deny that Ekweremadu is happy in PDP?

let wait nd see

Too late!

What is his annoyance if I may ask?

Does he think Atiku can win the presidential election. Is it not better for him to return to the Senate as a Senator than to lose as a Vice President alongside Atiku with nothing to show for it.

Simple electoral arithmetic they can't work. Anyway let them dream on til Feb when they will wakeup to the Reality.

I am not interested in politics. I am interested in healthy economy that grows at 7% per year. Jonathan was able to deliver 6.5% GDP growth for 5 years. Buhary has not delivered even 2% GDP growth in the past 3 years. I am explaining why everybody is suffering today in Nigeria. It is because the economy is not growing. This is to inform our youth on what to look out for in a leader in 2019 Elections.

future will tell where Ekweremadu will belong to or remain in the PDP.

Go and study the Nigerian economy between 1999 and 2001 and see the economic growth the Obasanjo delivered in the first 2 years of his tenure. Read it without sentiment and understand the meaning of the word Lifeless. APC has a bunch of unintellectual people The economy today is Lifeless
