Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, yesterday frowned at what he described as fake news being peddled in the media, purporting that there were divisions in the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) ahead of the 2019 presidential election.
Ekweremadu described such reports as ‘cheap blackmail, smear campaign and extreme propaganda,’ urging party faithful and supporters not to be distracted by the lie mills as the nation approached the critical stages of the 2019 elections, but to remain focused on delivering the votes to ensure the success of the party.
The senator, who took to his social media handles @iamekweremadu, to explains said: “My attention has been drawn to orchestrated attempts by some characters to create the impression of a divided house in Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in the coming presidential election. Such characters dish out fake and divisive stories without source on a daily basis and attribute same to me.
“While I refuse to be distracted by such cheap blackmail, smear campaign, and extreme propaganda, it is important to reassure our supporters that the PDP is united and focused on wresting power from the All Progressives Congress (APC).
“After the PDP lost the presidency and majority status at the National Assembly in 2015, I made it clear that I would stand by the party, no matter what. It took other party stakeholders and I a lot of efforts, sacrifices, soul-searching and painstaking negotiations, to hold the party together and rebuild it.
“If I did not abandon the PDP at its darkest hour, it does not make the slightest sense to say that I abandoned it now that its sun is rising again.
“Meanwhile, I have held separate meetings with our Vice-Presidential candidate, Peter Obi and the Chairman, South-East Governors’ Forum, Dave Umahi, to work out strategies for the success of our party and candidates in the coming elections.”
