The Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, has debunked reports that he was headed to the ruling All Progressives Congress, noting that he remained a member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).
\nIn a statement on his Facebook page, @iamekweremadu, on Wednesday, the Senator said: \u201cI am presently out of the country on a prescheduled engagement.
\n\u201cIn 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.
\n\u201cLet 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\u2019m very grateful to God for this.
\n\u201cMy 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.
\n\u201cI 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.
\n\u201cPlease, rest assured that I am still in the PDP\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
