Nobody Can Remove Me – Deputy Senate President, Ekweremadu


Nigeria’s Deputy Senate President, Chief Ike Ekweremadu, Saturday, carpeted the endless ill feelings of the All Progressives Congress, APC, leadership over his position.

The APC hierarchy had continued to wail over the emergence of Ekweremadu as the Deputy Senate President, despite the fact that he belonged to the opposition Peoples Democratic Party.

The on-going trial of Ekweremadu and the Senate President, Bukola Saraki is also widely believed to have been influenced by the ruling party.


However, speaking on Saturday, Senator Ekweremadu declared that “I want to assure our people that nobody will remove me.”

The Senator, who spoke at Ezeagu Local Government Area during the Ikeoha Foundation, Adult Literacy Day and 2015/2016 Scholarship and Bursary Award, stated that “it is not by power, not by might but by the special grace of God. It is not by our trajectory; so, they cannot do anything.”

Speaking on the activities of his foundation, which had empowered thousands of people, including widows, within‎ the last three years, Ekweremadu said he would continue to partner with the Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi led administration.
“Be assured that we will continue to support you; whoever is your friend will be our friend; whoever is your enemy will have us to contend with”, he told Governor Ugwuanyi.
Similarly, over 30 traditional rulers in Enugu State, who attended the event, moved to the podium and handed over “Offor staff” (a symbol of justice) to Ekweremadu, with a caution that no one should dare harm him.

His Royal Highness, Igwe Hafford Agana, who made the presentation, while others circled him, said “we are telling the whole world that nothing should happen to Ekweremadu. We have given him another Offor today.”

In his speech, Governor Ugwuanyi described Ekweremadu’s empowerment ‎scheme as another milestone, stressing that “education is indeed the bedrock of any society.”

He added that “this is why as a government, we have continued to commit considerable resources to the provision of facilities.”

He assured that the scheme would continue to receive the support of the State government.

  3. Nwanchukwu, what do you mean by 'lousy statements'? You want him to act like a coward? I don't know much about you and don't make me do some research on you.
