'We wish to inform our supporters and Nigeria that the former deputy president of the senate and foremost governorship aspirant...'

Charles Asogwa, the director-general of Ikeoha Campaign Organisation disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday.“We wish to inform our supporters and Nigeria that the former deputy president of the senate and foremost governorship aspirant in, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, will not be participating in the PDP governorship primary election scheduled for this Wednesday, May 25, 2022,” Mr Asogwa said.

Mr Ekweremadu’s withdrawal came just a few hours to the Wednesday’s governorship primaries of the party in the state.Mr Ugwuanyi and the leadership of the party in the state had maintained that they would respect the existing zoning arrangement in the state in the spirit of equity, justice and fairness.But Mr Ekweremadu, who hails from Aninri, in Enugu West District, has repeatedly kicked against the zoning arrangement insisting that there was no such agreement in the state.

However, some loyalists of the lawmaker approached the Federal High Court, Abuja, and sought to nullify the election of the delegates.The court ruled, on Tuesday, that the ward congresses held for the election of three-man delegates from the 260 wards in the state remained valid and that the list should be used to elect the candidates contesting for the 2023 elections.

Irked by the development, the lawmaker organised a parallel PDP congress where the aspirants were elected.The lawmaker reportedly met with the state leadership of All Progressive Grand Alliance over a possible switch to the opposition party in the state.

Let him go to farm, what has he forgotten in the senate he is looking for since 1999. He wan turn irumole there?

Politics is very interesting

APC! Deal sealed yesterday.

Pdp is scam

Zoning should be respected all round.

Please and please, he should remain where he is. We dont want him here

This Man has been a Senator Since 1999😲😲🤷 what else Does He Want? Are there no capable hands in his state! He's been Deputy Senate President for 12 years! Haven't He STOLEN ENOUGH 👎👎 iamekweremadu

Oho what you saw is what you reap

God forbid, Ekeweremadu should stay in PDP, he's not welcome in APC.

No! People should stay & tough it out. Why decamp? Doesn't make sense.

Error

After how many years.people know him by what he benefited from pdp

That'll be the end of his entire career. Enugu people cannot pronounce APC sef.

Drama unending.

He is not needed in APC. NNPC and Kwankwasiya will welcome him.

Join APC? These clowns 🤡 are irresponsible. They handed a party to you as the largest ethic bloc in the party …you ended up messing it up and now running away from the mess you created with the party

Lmao

He should have been a key player towards the actualisation of SouthEast Presidency come 2023 but it's the other way ...... RescueNG GodHelpNG.

Why after saying that APC is Fulani party. Please he should wait in pdp for 2031

GbengaGOLD Apc will reject his application by the Grace of God. Political paper weights are not needed in APC abeg. He should stay in his nonsense party.

OfficialAPCNg should not allow his decampment to affect the trajectory on ground: iamekweremadu has to queue up for 2027 senatorial or gubernatorial. No automatic for money bags

His political chances just become too slim by that decision.

Nope... there's APGA eagerly waiting for him

😳

God forbid bad thing. He should stay in his PDP

Awon oluriburuku somebody, bunch of confuse men that end up been incompetent if they eventually win.
