Deputy President of the Senate Ike Ekweremadu has debunked insinuations of a plan to defect to the ruling All Progressive Congress.

A national newspaper on Tuesday, October 23 wrote that Ekweremadu was complaining of being unjustly treated and will port any moment soon to the APC.

But from where he has travelled out of the country, Ekweremadu said there was nothing of such and that his politics is not selfish but people-centred.

He thanked those who called him to find out the true position of things and pledged not to disppoint them.

Ekweremadu spoke through his Facebook page, @iamekweremadu, on Wednesday, October 24.

 

The Senator said: “I am presently out of the country on a prescheduled engagement.

“In the past 24 hours, I have been inundated with calls from friends and political associates seeking clarification on the rumours of my departure from the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which has dominated the media.

“Let it be known that my path in politics is in the hands of the Almighty God, who has indeed been very faithful and gracious to me. I’m very grateful to God for this.

“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.

“I am grateful to you – members of my family, my friends, political associates, and admirers across Nigeria and beyond – for your uncommon concern. I am indeed humbled by your kind words of solidarity and support.

“Please, rest assured that I am still in the PDP”.
