The statement said “The Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, has debunked reports that he was headed to the ruling All Progressives Congress, noting that he remained a member of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP).

“In the past 24 hours, I have been inundated with calls from friends and political associates seeking clarification on the rumours of my departure from the PDP, which has dominated the media.

“Let it be known that my path in politics is in the hands of the Almighty God, who has indeed been very faithful and gracious to me. I’m very grateful to God for this.”
