Speaking through its publicity secretary Kate Offor, the APC said, Ekweremadu should maintain his stance in the PDP.

Offor said the APC is in the position to overrun the PDP in the forthcoming 2019 election in the state without Ekweremadu’s involvement.

She said: “Whatever is the position of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, we want him to remain in PDP. We wish to make it very clear that Ekweremadu is an unwanted guest in Enugu State APC.”

“Let him stay and salvage the inferno festering in the PDP. We don’t want one party state. Most importantly we don’t want him to infest and transfer confusion into APC, his trademark in the PDP from the time of Governor Chimaroke Nnamani in 1999 till date,” she said.

Recall that an APC senator from Zamfara state Kabiru Mafara had earlier pleaded with Ekweremadu to leave PDP and join the ruling party.

Mafara said Ekweremadu’s defection will help him retain his seat as the deputy senate president of the National Assembly.
