He is not going to any Apc. This one is just intimidation tactics to get the governor to give him the ticket. But we all know the governor won’t bulge on the matter.

NaijaRoyalty:
He stands no chance under APC

This move could put his political career to a perpetual sleep in Enugu state

Ekweremandu should know better

That Could Be Political Succide For Him.

That Could Be Political Succide For Him.

He can actually win

Even though gburugburu was a mistake. we the Enugu can never allow him to succeed. that senate seat he his currently occupying will be taken away in the next election.

Igbochief001:
Lol dis one doesn't know enugu at all

Even if any Jesus run under any party outside PDP he would lose

But want Apc to zone their Presidential ticket to SE? So your evil agenda is to make Apc political irrelevance

Are there igbos in APC ?
APC don't need igbos to make Igbo Man president

PDP didn't need yorubas to make obasanjo president

Your argument is rubbish

If I may ask what really will be the input of Igbos if Apc gives their ticket to SE and SW/ NC/,NW and NE are still the ones to vote for Apc?

I don't know who senatordave is please though I've heard of him.ikeoha is the most popular politician in enugu.he is also the strongest.most of the pdp strongmen in enugu are loyal to him,he can find a way surely.

zagorakis:
Enugu state does not know politics, ike Ekweremmadu has been in the senate since 2003 representing Enugu west senatorial district..
is he the only person in that senatorial district or is it his birthright? now he is eyeing the lion house and if care is not taken he ll win again.
i tire for Enugu. Gaskia

Why are u tired sebi your father told you as long as you keep chasing Tinubu up n down NL, your lifelong ambition is accomishwd like that of every other foolish lost jew from hell on NL.

MrPolitics:
Lol this is rubbish.
Those that know are well aware that Ekweremadu is low key the Tinubu of Enugu and Enugu PDP.
You can barely win a ticket in Enugu PDP without his support. He has the full structure of the party and if he wants to win PDP’s ticket, it’ll be the easiest thing for him.
He initially relegated his former boss Nnamani to the background after they fought. It was after they reconciled in 2017 that Nnamani was brought back to the spotlight and became senator.
He’s the reason Sullivan Chime and Ugwuanyi became governors.
Forget story

The zoning arrangement of PDP won't let him emerge that's why he may be eyeing APC. But you are right, he is a heavyweight politically and party affiliation is not a barrier to him that's why he will be a real threat in 2023.

The input, Obasanjo as Yoruba man slugged the presidential ticket out with Alex Ekwueme. He didn't stop , be built bridges with other regions. he went out to 36 states of the federation to campaign. Now over to the SE, you can wait in your bedroom. The SW, NC , NW and NE they will do the campaign for you. It's simple as that

Former Deputy Senate President and Senator representing Enugu West Senatorial district, Mr Ike Ekweremadu has concluded plans to dump his political party , the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) ahead of 2023 Enugu governorship tussle

THE NIGERIA DAILY gathered from a source close to the former deputy Senate President that Ekweremadu has renewed his high-level negotiations with the top echelon of the APC from the South East.

The source told THE NIGERIA DAILY that Ekweremadu’s defection to the APC has nothing to do with disagreement with his own party, the PDP, but solely on his desire to pursue his governorship ambition in 2023.

It will be recalled that Ekweremadu is one of the longest serving senators in the national assembly having represented his senatorial zone for 16 years and still counting.

During his re-election in 2019, Ekweremadu has promised his constituents he would not be seeking another term in the Senate come 2023.

He was first elected to the senate in 2003. In 2015 he attempted to run for Governor but the then Governor, Sullivan Chime denied him the ticket insisting it was the turn of another zone . This prompted Ekweremadu to renegotiate his way back to the Senate.

THE NIGERIA DAILY learnt that Enugu PDP has insisted on following the zoning arrangements of the 1999. Enugu East produced Governor between 1999-2007 , followed by Enugu West (2007-2015) and now Enugu North (2015-date ) The tenure of Enugu North is expected to elapse by 2023 . But Ekweremadu’s close aide told THE NIGERIA DAILY that since all zones have benefited from the zoning arrangements , it doesn’t matter which zone produces the next governor .

Meanwhile, Enugu East which has former governors Chimaraoke Nnamani and Jim Nwobodo has made it clear that they are leaving no stone unturned in producing the next governor and the incumbent governor, Rt. Hon Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi is strongly in support of Enugu East, this Newspaper still learnt.

With Ekweremadu leaving no stone unturned on his interest to occupy the Lion Building ( Enugu State Government House ) and without the support of the incumbent governor, his alternate vehicle to achieve his long time dream is through the APC.

This Newspaper has confirmed that Ekweremadu has activated all his governorship structures and is on the verge of concluding all necessary measures before he finally announced his defection to the APC.

I’m a PDP man but I will support Ekweremadu in any political party. South East needs accomplished individuals to oversee the zone.
Soludo is also good in Anambra. Imo state is unfortunate. Ihedioha would’ve done well.
Ebonyi is doing well while Abia needs someone like Alex Otti.
