The Newly elected deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu reaffirmed the stand of the South-Eastern zone saying they do not have any regret voting the PDP in the just concluded general elections.He restates that the people of the Zone will still vote the same party if the opportunity comes again.
He disclosed this on his arrival into the Akanu Ibiam International Airport Enugu, where a mamoth crowd of supporters and political allies gathered to welcome him.
“We have no regret. Igbos have no regret for the way they voted; if they have the opportunity
tomorrow, they will do it again. We are convinced we voted rightly, and because we believe we are part and parcel of this country, we believe what we got is within our right.
“So we expect that APC should be able to accommodate the people of South-South as they form their government, because don’t forget that Buhari got about 15 million votes; we have more than 150 million Nigerians, so he is not the President of 15 million people; the rest of the people must be accommodated.”
“In fact, that was why when we saw that it appears that South-East and South-South were being marginalised in the scheme of things, we decided to take a shot so that our people will be part and parcel of government, so that every part of Nigeria will have a sense of belonging”, Ekweremadu added.
